Although it only has the 112 PS turbo-petrol engine, the Australia-spec XUV 3XO has all the features of the India-spec variant.
- Only the AX5L and AX7L trims are offered.
- comes with an all-black cabin motif and only five exterior color options.
- Only the 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine with 112 PS and 200 Nm is available.
- The safety and convenience features are the same as those of the India-spec model.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO was first released in South Africa in September 2024, and it has since made its way to Australia. It has the same 112 PS turbo-petrol engine as the one found in India and is offered in two different market versions, the AX5L and the AX7L. It can be mated to either an automatic or manual transmission. The Australian-spec XUV 3XO lacks some of the exterior color options and has an all-black interior theme in contrast to the Indian version. This is a thorough analysis of the differences between the two versions, beginning with the cost.
Prices
| Australian-spec Mahindra XUV 3XO (Approximate conversion from Australian Dollar) | India-spec Mahindra XUV 3XO |

Prices are ex-showroom
The base MX1 model marketed in India is priced almost Rs 5 lakh less than the entry-level Australia-spec Mahindra XUV 3XO. It’s crucial to remember that the AX5L model, which is the first model in the Australian lineup, costs Rs 12.62 lakh in India, which is just Rs 55,000 less than its Australian equivalent.
The top-spec AX7L model, which is offered in both regions, has a price difference of Rs 94,000, with the Australian model costing more.
What’s Different?
There are variations in the color choices available for the Indian and Australian versions of the Mahindra XUV 3XO, despite the fact that the external design is the same in all regions.
| Australia-spec Mahindra XUV 3XO | India-spec Mahindra XUV 3XO |
| Everest White | Everest White |
| Galaxy Grey | Galaxy Grey |
| Stealth Black | Stealth Black |
| Tango Red | Tango Red |
| Citrine Yellow | Citrine Yellow |
| Nebula Blue | |
| Deep Forest | |
| Dune Beige |
The Mahindra XUV 3XO with Indian specs has more color options than the Australia-spec model, as the table illustrates.
The two XUV 3XO models differ not just in terms of exterior color but also in terms of internal design. The Australia-spec model has an all-black interior with black leatherette upholstery, whereas the India-spec model has an all-white cabin motif with white leatherette seat upholstery.
The fact that the Australian-spec vehicle only has one turbo-petrol engine option is another significant distinction between it and the India-spec variant. The specifics are as follows:
| Model | Australia-spec Mahindra XUV 3XO | India-spec Mahindra XUV 3XO | ||
| Engine | 1.2-litre turbo-petrol | 1.2-litre turbo-petrol | 1.2-litre T-GDi turbo-petrol | 1.5-litre diesel |
| Power | 112 PS | 112 PS | 130 PS | 117 PS |
| Torque | 200 Nm | 200 Nm | Up to 230 Nm | 300 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed MT, 6-speed AT* | 6-speed MT, 6-speed AT | 6-speed MT, 6-speed AT | 6-speed MT, 6-speed AMT^ |
*AT = Torque converter automatic transmission
^AMT = Automated manual transmission
What’s Similar?
Both Mahindra XUV 3XO models have essentially the same safety and convenience features. They have a panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charging, a seven-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, dual-zone climate control with rear air conditioning vents, two 10.25-inch screens, and ventilated front seats.
Six airbags, a 360-degree camera with a blind view monitor, electronic stability control with hill hold, descent control, and traction control are features of both versions’ safety features. All-wheel disc brakes, 3-point seatbelts for every seat with reminders, and Level 2 ADAS technologies like adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and lane keep assist are also included.
It’s crucial to remember that the AX5L and AX7L have ADAS installed, which is a prerequisite for selling a vehicle in Australia.
Additionally, we may anticipate that the XUV 3XO will receive five stars from the Australian NCAP.
Rivals In India
The Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Kia Syros, Tata Nexon, Skoda Kylaq, and Maruti Brezza are competitors of the Indian-spec Mahindra XUV 3XO.
