The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV is the upcoming electric version of the compact SUV Mahindra XUV 3XO. It aims to blend the practicality of a small SUV with the benefits of electric mobility: lower running costs, smooth drive, and modern features.
Powertrain & Performance
- The 3XO EV will reportedly come with a single electric motor delivering around 110 kW (≈ 148 bhp) and 310 Nm torque, giving it responsive acceleration and adequate punch for city and highway driving.
- Battery options are expected to include a 34.5 kWh pack (with ~ 375 km ARAI-claimed range) and a 39.4 kWh pack with up to ~ 456 km ARAI-claimed range.
- It is also expected to support AC and DC fast charging, a key enabler for practical everyday use and occasional long trips.
Features & Interior Comfort
The cabin is expected to mirror the ICE 3XO’s layout, with dual-tone interiors (beige-black with copper highlights), and some EV-specific touches to differentiate from petrol/diesel versions.
Tech features likely include two 10.25-inch screens, infotainment + digital instrument cluster, 360° surround-view camera, dual-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, wireless Android Auto / Apple CarPlay, and a premium audio system.
As with its ICE sibling, the EV should offer an SUV-like seating position and decent cabin space, making it practical for daily commuting and family use.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Tech
Safety appears to be a major focus: the EV is expected to inherit a robust safety package including six airbags, ABS + EBD, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), hill-hold / descent controls, rollover mitigation, and ISOFIX child-seat anchors.
On top of that, 3XO EV is likely to offer Level-2 driver assistance (ADAS) features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a 360° camera system. Such a feature set is rare in this price/segment bracket.
Expected Pricing & Market Position
Though official pricing is not finalized, most sources suggest an ex-showroom price in the ballpark of ₹13 lakh to ₹17 lakh, depending on the battery and variant.
Some estimates (likely optimistic) put the top variants at slightly higher levels, ₹16–19 lakh ex-showroom.
This pricing would place XUV 3XO EV as one of the more affordable, feature-rich electric SUVs in India, likely intended to compete with other compact EVs like Tata Nexon EV, while offering more SUV-like practicality.
What’s Uncertain and What to Watch For
Real-world range: While the claimed range (375–456 km) sounds impressive, actual range will depend heavily on driving conditions, load, and climate typical for most EVs.
Charging infrastructure & charger availability: For many buyers (especially outside metros), access to reliable DC fast chargers will be a key factor for convenience.
Final pricing & variant/feature mapping: As of now, the exact trims, features, and sticker price are not publicly confirmed. So the delivered car could be costlier or have fewer features than expected.
Delivery timeline: While some reports suggested a 2025 launch, several sources indicate the EV might arrive in early 2026.
Conclusion
If you’re a buyer in India looking for a compact SUV that balances modern EV perks with everyday practicality, the XUV 3XO EV could be a very smart choice.
It promises:
- A respectable electric range suitable for city commutes + occasional longer drives
- SUV-style seating, space, and ground clearance are good for Indian roads
- A strong safety and technology package, including ADAS, airbags, stability control, and premium features.
- Competitive pricing for an EV, making it a reasonable transition for people shifting from petrol/diesel to electric
