Design 

The Mahindra 3XO gets a revamped design for the exterior, with a new fascia featuring a new bumper and a gloss black grille with chrome slats replacing the slatted one found in the XUX300.

It now gets 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and apart from that, there are no other sheet metal changes here. You get to choose from 8 colour options: white, red, orange, beige, black, grey, green and yellow.

Coming to the rear, it gets a new tailgate with connected LED taillights making it the first Mahindra to get a connected setup. Placed right below the taillights is the new ‘XUV 3XO’ badge. It also gets a silver skid plate adding a bit of contrast and the number plate housing is in the bumper. With the new elements and styling, the subcompact SUV looks modern with a dash of ruggedness.

Interior And Features

The first thing you will notice is the 10.25-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system, below which are the AC vents located right above the chunky looking controls for the dual-zone climate control.

It retains the same steering wheel which the pre-facelift XUV300 got, but with gloss-black inserts instead of the silver finish. Further enhancing the cabin’s feel is a segment-first panoramic sunroof which adds to the SUVs value proposition.
