2025 Acko Drive Awards: Mahindra XUV 3XO Is The TOTM Sub-Compact SUV Of The Year

Mahindra worked upon the XUV 300 significantly to come up with the new XUV 3XO. Its updated style had a nice radical approach to it. While sub-compact SUV did not change much dimensionally, new features on offer now have further amped up its premium quotient. It was a combination of all of these qualities the reason why our jury found the Mahindra XUV 3XO more impressive than the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor, its new rival that launched this year. 

From panoramic sunroof to ventilated seats and a 7-speaker sound system by Harman Kardon – the XUV 3XO isn’t lacking in luxury now. The choice of both petrol and diesel engine options further helps its case in coming across a nice enthusiast offering as well. Coupled with its tall body design, and SUV-ish dimensions, the XUV 3XO is anyday more versatile than the coupe SUV Taisor. 

Lastly, to make the whole deal more versatile, the Mahindra XUV 3XO is nicely spread across nine trim levels priced from ₹9.99 lakh to ₹15.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Thus offering one for everyone.
