Welcome to the XUV 3XO RevX — the car that walks into the Indian subcompact SUV segment like a dashing hero in a Rohit Shetty film. With a confident grille, tech-packed cabin, and more drive modes than your last relationship had moods, the 3XO isn’t just a facelift of the old XUV300 — it’s a glow-up worthy of a Netflix makeover show.
Launched initially in 2019, this 2025 facelift arrives as the XUV 3XO — now with more ‘X’, more ‘O’, and a lot more sass.
Design: Heartcore, Not Hardcore
Pratap Bose deserves a slow clap. The XUV 3XO has ditched its conservative styling for what Mahindra calls the Heartcore Design Philosophy. It’s like your chartered accountant cousin turned influencer — sharp, bold, and inexplicably photogenic.
That new body-coloured grille? It screams “move aside, peasants”. Bi-LED projector headlamps with LED DRLs? So sharp, they could slice through Delhi fog. And let’s not ignore the Infinity LED Tail Lamps at the back — because even your car deserves dramatic exits.
Tango Red, Grey, Blue, Yellow, Green? It’s not a car — it’s a rolling Holi palette. Dual-tone roof options included, for that “my SUV, my style” energy.
Size Does Matter (When You’re in a Metro)
It’s under 4 metres, but it still pulls off the presence of something twice its price. At 1.8 metres wide, with a 201mm ground clearance and the ability to wade through 350mm of water — this thing was clearly made for monsoons, potholes, and surprise swimming pools that appear on Indian roads every July.
Platform & Performance: Small SUV, Big Drama
Built on the X100 platform that also underpins the Mahindra XUV400 and KG Mobility’s Tivoli, the 3XO isn’t just style — it’s got substance in its steel (45% high-strength, if you’re counting). With 5328 spot welds, this car’s body is tighter than your building society budget.
Now, under the hood:
- 1.2L mStallion TGDi Petrol (RevX):
128 hp | 230 Nm torque | 20 kmpl (manual)
Smooth, punchy, and turbocharged enough to leave traffic lights like you’re starring in your own Fast & Furious spin-off — “Desi & Determined.” - Other Petrol Option (TCMPFi):
109 hp | 200 Nm | for the ones who want performance, but not too much excitement in life. - Diesel Option (CRDe, 1.5L):
115 hp | 300 Nm | 21 kmpl (auto)
Ideal for the highway warriors and the spreadsheet-obsessed uncle who still calculates fuel costs down to the paisa.
Transmission options include 6-speed manuals and 6-speed AISIN automatics, paired perfectly to your inner speed demon or laid-back cruiser.
Ride & Handling: Zap. Zoom. Zindagi.
Zip, Zap, Zoom — these are your official drive modes. If you thought they were just quirky names, think again. Paired with Smart Steering Modes (Comfort, Normal, Sport), the RevX transforms from city slicker to highway hustler in a flick.
The MTV-CL dampers aren’t a new TV channel — they’re part of the suspension magic that keeps your kidneys from registering every speed breaker as a personal insult.
Interior: Business Class, Meet Bollywood Bling
Step inside and it’s like Mahindra decided to blend a tech startup with a 5-star lounge.
- 10.24-inch HD infotainment + 10.24-inch digital cluster = double the screens, double the bragging rights.
- Alexa, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and 80+ features via Adrenox Connect.
- Need to turn off the lights, start the engine, or check if your car has crossed Lajpat Nagar? Just use your phone.
- Panoramic sunroof, or as Mahindra likes to call it, the Skyroof. Because what’s an SUV in India today without one? A hatchback with dreams.
You also get a dual-zone climate control, USB-C ports, cooled glovebox, Harman audio upgrade, and leatherette everywhere — seats, steering, gear knob. The 3XO is clearly on a mission to make luxury democratic.
Boot Space & Practicality: Compact on Paper, Clever in Person
364 litres of boot space, plus split-folding seats. Just enough for two large suitcases, a weekend of IKEA regret, or four boxes of mangoes from your nani’s place.
Bonus points for the 16-inch spare wheel, because nobody wants a puncture ruining a road trip selfie.
Safety: Desi Tank in a Designer Suit
This thing’s got more safety features than a Swiss bank vault.
- 6 airbags, ESP 9.3, Hill Hold/Descent, TPMS, ADAS Level 2
- Reverse parking sensors and camera
- Blind view monitor
- ISOFIX, roll-over mitigation, brake disc wiping — even features your neighbour’s BMW might be jealous of.
Oh, and did we mention the 5-star Bharat NCAP rating? It’s the desi Michelin Star for safety.
Ownership & Warranty
Mahindra gives you 3 years unlimited kilometre warranty with roadside assistance, because trust issues should be left for dating apps — not car ownership.
Also, proudly Made in Nashik and exported to Australia and South Africa, so your SUV has better travel history than you.
Why the 3XO RevX Deserves a Parking Spot in Your Life
The Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX is what happens when you give a compact SUV the DNA of a muscle car, the wardrobe of a designer, and the tech-savvy of a millennial startup.
At ₹13 lakh ex-showroom for this RevX TGDi, it punches above its class with features, safety, and design that rival bigger, costlier SUVs. And with a name like “3XO”, it sounds less like a car and more like a superhero suit.
So if you want a car that’s bold, brainy, and built for India — one that can zip past traffic, zap through potholes, and zoom into your Instagram stories — this could be your perfect match.
Final Verdict:
“Compact outside. Xtraordinary inside. XO XO, gossip girl who?”
