Mahindra has ramped up excitement for the upcoming XUV 3XO by releasing another teaser ahead of its world premiere on 29 April.
The sub-four-metre SUV has already generated buzz, with select dealerships even starting unofficial bookings.
The teaser highlights a key feature of the XUV 3XO: a remote climate control function accessible through Mahindra’s AdrenoX-connected car technology.
While some competitors offer similar features, the XUV 3XO will be the first in its segment to pair this function with a dual-zone unit.The app will allow users to control the front and rear defoggers.
According to the report from Car Wale, Mahindra has indicated that these features will likely be exclusive to select variants, possibly limited to the top-spec model.
The XUV 3XO is expected to come with several other upgrades, including projector LED headlamps and fog lamps, a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.2-inch instrument console, a panoramic sunroof, premium audio, and ventilated front seats.
Safety features are also expected to be top-notch, with six airbags, an electronic stability program, and traction control.
There’s also speculation about the inclusion of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in higher-spec variants.
In terms of powertrains, the XUV 3XO is likely to retain its current lineup, which includes a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with 109 bhp, a higher-spec 1.2-litre T-GDI mStallion turbo petrol with 128 bhp, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine with 115 bhp.
Transmission options are expected to range from a 6-speed manual to a 6-speed AMT, with a possibility of an Aisin-sourced 6-speed torque converter automatic as well.
Earlier teasers have hinted at the SUV’s design updates, including a revised front fascia with new C-shaped LED DRLs, redesigned headlamps and grille and a full-width lightbar element at the rear.
Inside, the XUV 3XO is expected to feature a revamped cabin similar to the upgraded XUV400 Pro, with a large touchscreen at the top of a revised centre console, new control surfaces, panoramic sunroof, lighter upholstery, and a three-point seatbelt for the rear centre passenger.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO is set to compete with popular models like the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Sonet in the sub-four-metre SUV segment.
