Price
| Model | Price (ex-showroom) |
| Mahindra XUV 3XO REVX A | Rs 11.80 lakh to Rs 13 lakh |
| Skoda Kylaq Signature Plus AT | Rs 11.25 lakh to Rs 12.35 lakh |

Dimensions

| Length | 3990 mm | 3995 mm | -5 mm |
| Width | 1821 mm | 1783mm | +38 mm |

| Wheelbase | 2600 mm | 2566 mm | +34 mm |
| Boot space | 364 litres | 360 litres | 4 litres |
Given their virtually identical size, the XUV 3XO and Kylaq are fierce competitors in the subcompact SUV market. Better inside room may result from the XUV 3XO’s 34 mm greater wheelbase compared to the Kylaq’s just 5 mm longer wheelbase. Additionally, the XUV 3XO is higher and wider, which improves its visibility on the road. With a 364-liter boot that holds 4 liters more than the Kylaq, the XUV 3XO has a modest advantage over the Kylaq in terms of practicality.
