The Mahindra XUV 3XO, initially introduced in India as the XUV300 in 2024, is set to expand its offerings. This model boasts an impressive cabin, feature-rich kit, and a variety of engine options. The ex-showroom price for this car begins at approximately ₹7.49 lakh and extends up to ₹15.80 lakh for the top-spec AX7 L Turbo AT variant. The diesel variant starts at around ₹9.99 lakh.
Mahindra & Mahindra aims to strengthen its position in the compact SUV sector by launching the Mahindra XUV 3XO in 2026. This will include hybrid and electric powertrains. This could mark Mahindra’s first hybrid model in India, integrating a robust hybrid system with a 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV is anticipated to feature a compact 35kWh battery pack, coupled with an electric motor. Both hybrid and electric variants are expected to undergo some modifications, such as ‘Hybrid’ or ‘EV’ badges, along with new alloy wheels and software updates for the instrument cluster.
The Mahindra Vision X concept SUV, unveiled on August 15, 2025, previews the brand’s next-generation compact SUV. The design of the new-generation XUV 3XO is likely to draw inspiration from the Vision X and may be based on Mahindra’s new NU IQ platform, which supports multiple powertrains.
Visually, the Vision X concept is quite striking. However, design modifications are expected in its production model. The concept features a closed grille with Mahindra’s signature logo, a bonnet, a coupe-like windshield, aero-optimized dual-tone alloy wheels, door handles, and black cladding running from the front to the back. While there has been no official announcement regarding the launch timeline, it will compete with the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Creta, and Kia Sonet in the subcompact SUV segment.
