News Synopsis

Mahindra has launched its much-awaited electric SUV, the XUV 3XO EV, positioning it as one of the most affordable yet feature-packed EVs in India. With strong performance, smart technology, and fast charging, it aims to challenge segment leaders like the Tata Nexon EV and MG Comet.

XUV 3XO EV: Fast Charging, Powerful Performance, and Budget-Friendly Pricing

New Delhi — The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) in the Indian automobile market is growing rapidly. Tapping into this trend, Mahindra & Mahindra has launched its highly anticipated electric SUV, Mahindra XUV 3XO EV. With attractive styling, modern technology, and strong performance, this model is not only the most affordable electric SUV in Mahindra’s lineup, but it could also prove to be a game-changer in the mid-range EV segment.

The starting price of the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV is ₹13.89 lakh (ex-showroom). It will directly compete with the Tata Nexon EV and MG Windsor, both of which already have a strong foothold in this segment.

Mahindra launched the XUV 3XO EV just a day after unveiling the XUV 7XO, clearly showing that the company is no longer limiting itself to petrol and diesel models. Instead, it plans to establish itself as a strong player in the electric SUV market. The XUV 3XO EV offers an ideal option for buyers seeking an affordable, modern EV from a trusted brand.

The EV is built on the same platform as the successful petrol version. Since its launch in April 2024, the XUV 3XO has sold over 1.8 lakh units, and Mahindra is now extending this success story to the electric segment.

Modern and Futuristic Design

The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV draws inspiration from its petrol counterpart but features several unique design elements to distinguish it as an electric vehicle.

  • Premium Appeal: Equipped with a single-pane sunroof, the cabin feels airy and spacious.

  • Wheels & Lighting: R16 diamond-cut alloy wheels give it a muscular stance. LED projector headlamps, signature LED tail lamps, and LED DRLs with turn indicators provide a striking road presence.

  • Visibility: Its aerodynamic build and enhanced lighting improve both aesthetics and nighttime visibility.

XUV 3XO EV Interior and Luxury Features

Step inside, and you’re greeted with an impressive blend of comfort and technology.

  • Displays: Two 10.25-inch HD screens — one for infotainment and one as a fully digital instrument cluster.

  • Connectivity: Wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, built-in Alexa, and Mahindra’s Adrenox connected system make it truly smart.

  • Comfort: Dual-zone climate control, rear AC vents, armrest, 60:40 split rear seats, wireless charging, auto headlamps, and rain-sensing wipers enhance comfort on long journeys.

Battery, Range, and Performance

The battery and range are crucial in any electric car — and the XUV 3XO EV delivers confidently.

  • Battery: 39.4 kWh pack

  • Range: Up to 285 km (real-world conditions) on a single charge

  • Motor Output: 110 kW power and 310 Nm torque

  • Acceleration: 0–100 km/h in just 8.3 seconds — claimed to be the fastest in its segment

  • Drive Modes: Fun, Fast, and Fearless

This power and instant torque make city driving quick and effortless.

Fast Charging and Advanced Suspension

For long trips, charging worries are reduced thanks to 50 kW DC fast charging, which can charge the vehicle from 0–80% in just 50 minutes.

The SUV also features advanced suspension technologies like Frequency Dependent Damping (FDD) and MTV-VAL, ensuring a smoother ride even on rough roads.

Safety and Smart Technology

Mahindra maintains its strong reputation in safety. The XUV 3XO EV includes:

  • Level 2 ADAS with adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and smart pilot assist

  • 360-degree camera for easier parking

  • 6 airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, TPMS, and over 35 safety features

  • 80+ connected car features, allowing remote access and monitoring via smartwatch
