Deliveries for the XUV 3XO EV commence from February 23.

2026 Mahindra XUV 3XO EV: Exterior

Starting from its exterior design, the XUV 3XO EV follows a similar design philosophy as its IC-powered sibling. At the front, it has a body-coloured faux grille, along with hexagonal headlamp clusters with ‘C-shaped’ DRL signatures, while at the bottom, it has a shapely bumper with a faux skid plate on the lip. However, being an EV, it gets all logos finished in copper for a unique touch.

Move on towards the side, and you still have a familiar picture. The bonnet is flat, while both front and rear fenders get a muscular crease for better road presence. It also gets 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels as well.

Move on to the rear, and you have a connected LED strip, which flows into the ‘C-shaped’ taillamp cluster. At the bottom it gets a layered bumper with thick cladding and a more prominent faux silver skid plate.

Inside, the XUV 3XO EV gets a premium-feel, with soft-touch materials and black upholstery. At the centre of the dashboard is a free-standing touchscreen infotainment system. If you were not a fan of touch-based climate controls, you will be happy to know that the XUV 3XO EV still gets physical toggles and knobs to control all important functions. 

The centre console gets covered in gloss-black inserts, and there are copper accents all over the cabin too.

2026 Mahindra XUV 3XO EV: Price And Rivals

Mahindra has launched the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV at an introductory price of Rs 13.89 lakh. It is offered in 2 variants, AX5 and AX7L. It is going to rival other similarly-priced EVs such as the Tata Punch EV and Nexon EV, MG Windsor EV and Citroen eC3.

ZigSays…

With electric power under the hood, the XUV 3XO just got a lot more appealing. With the right dimensions for dense urban confines, a capable powertrain and a long list of features, it is all set to battle out with established segment players. The pricing also looks great, especially for the top-end AX7L, which is fully loaded to the gills and costs just Rs 14.96 lakh, which sounds like a great value proposition. 

What’s left to see is how the car performs in the real world condition. Stay tuned to ZigWheels for the first drive review, especially on our social media handles, where all the action happens!
