Test drive done for both the cars.

I love both the Petrol automatic.

Family of four

Monthly 500 km (office+outing) in Bangalore Traffic

Every three months - Hill stations vacation

I want black interior, black seats in 3XO. Sales mentioned available only on top end.

If I stretch budget, i can get petrol - Automatic in 7XO basic version. My previous cars are Amaze, swift.

Should I book 3XO top end or 7XO basic?

Mileage better with Diesel but initial price diff.

7XO last seats are not comfortable, mostly we will fold for trip luggages..

Should I wait for elevate facelift ?

Getting this 1st owner, 2026 feb Manufactured, passing march AX5 3XO Petrol AT, 4.8k run for 11.6₹, loaded with necessary accessories and insurance. Is it a good deal? Maharashtra passing. Your thoughts?

Just wanted to check that if you release accelerator at 80-100 suddenly, there is a whoosh or thump sound coming from the bonnet. Can anyone confirm if this is normal?

I want to know if both the AX7 and AX7L variants get the same sound system, specifically the subwoofer.

I know they both get the upgraded Harmon Kardon system but according to some sources on the internet the subwoofer is reserved only for the AX7L, although my dealer says the AX7 gets it too.

Help me out please :')

Hey everyone,

My family is upgrading from our 2019 Hyundai Santro 1.1 MT, and we're planning to keep the new car for around 5 to 6 years.

I've been offered the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7L (Stealth Black) for ₹14.65 lakh ex-showroom, and I'm wondering if this is genuinely a good deal or if there are better options around this price.

A few details:

• Budget: Around ₹14–15 lakh ex-showroom
• Family of 3, occassionally 5 (grandparents)
• Mix of city driving and occasional highway trips
• Safety is a big priority since my father is a relatively new driver, so features like level 2 adas are a big plus.
• We also value rear-seat comfort, features, and good ownership experience.

The other cars I've considered are:

• Hyundai Venue HX5 and HX6
• Kia Seltos (HTK(O)/similar variants)
• Toyota Hyryder G neodrive

From what I've seen, the 3XO AX7L offers a lot for the money (ADAS, 360° camera, panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio, ventilated seats, etc.), but I wanted opinions from actual owners and enthusiasts.

My questions:

1. Is ₹14 lakh ex-showroom for the AX7L a good deal?
2. Would you still choose the 3XO over the Kushaq, Seltos, or Hyryder at this budget?
3. Are there any major ownership issues, reliability concerns, or things I should know before booking?

I really like the 3XO, the drive is smooth size is perfect and looks amazing. The next is Tata Punch but it's too small for me, my family of 4 well built and a kid barely fit in the punch, it feels too cramped especially since am coming from Kia Sonet.

Tata Nexon is higher priced and the design feels like a pregnant rhino (personal view). Windsor is too long for parking and higher cost. Citron is a joke.

My drive is about 50KM 5 days a week and may be one highway stretch a month. Have dedicated individual parking and option to install charger under 5 feet from parking.

So the range of 3XO is fine for my use. The price falls right at the edge of my budget.

My only query is, I keep reading comments that the battery in 3XO EV is NMC but I can not find any official mention of battery type other than third party review sites. Just the fact that it is a ICE converted does not mean it's NMC.

I reached out to few dealers and one even gave in writing (email) that 3XO has LFP battery.

Why is there so much confusion? Any actual owners can you share the owners manual am sure that will clear up this confusion.

Thank you in advance.

Anyother car suggestions are welcome.

The quote for this is ₹14,68,000, including ₹25,000 for accessories. Do you think this is a good deal?

Trying to decide between the Mahindra 3XO and Hyundai Venue, mainly for city driving and some High way. The budget is somewhere in the ₹10–12 lakh range, and I'd like to hear from actual owners of either.

If you've owned or test-driven both, would love to hear your take. Trying to make a decision soon, so any honest feedback (good or bad) is appreciated!

Any reliability issues you've run into,

Service costs and dealer network experience

Recently, I received a quotation for the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7L petrol manual. After discounts and including accessories, I'm getting it for under ₹15.50 lakh. I'm going with a petrol variant

Should I go for it or not?

Please share the pros and cons of the XUV 3XO AX7L. Also, if you think there's a better option in this price range, please let me know which one I should choose and why.

Hi Everyone,

I am going to visit showrooms from various dealers to book AX5 MT P variant in Hyderabad.

If anyone has purchased or booked it after the recent price hikes. Please help with your quotations. So, It will be helpfull to get an idea of how much I can ask for discounts.

Booked an Ax7 petrol manual at Pune PPS.

The showroom is asking to pay 1lac of the total down payment right away , even before the vehicle has arrived at the stockyard.

Is this normal?

Hey.. took both test drives and yes the prices are very different and also the features. Also took the test drive of Venue but didn't like it much barring the screen.

But I was so impressed by Mahindra's engine while Kylaq has damn good seating plus drive dynamics. And that Harmon Kardon system is banging

My run is 50kms in Mumbai (5am leaving home and 4pm returning home) using Eastern Expressway. Weekends the car can chill as I'll be only using my scooter.😂

Once a month a highway run 300-400kms. What do you guys suggest ?

Hello there, I am planning to buy a 3X0 by this year end. I want to know owner’s experience with the service centers. As I am in Chennai, opinions of owners from Chennai is much appreciated.

Hi, I drive a 3xO AX5L. I generally use all the ADAS features extensively.

I have found that

1. It does give better mileage when cruising at set speed.

2. It does reduce driving fatigue by a lot.

3. Saved from people cutting into lane by emergency breaking.

Now, the questions.

Does break light illuminate when 3xO is reducing speed on Adaptive Cruise Control? Does break light illuminate when car stops sensing a stationary vehicle ahead?

I use Adaptive Cruise Control set at 30 Kmph in bumper to bumper traffic. (Of course, with hands on steering and my foot on the brake pedal for quick reaction.) Has anyone tried this? Is it recommended NOT to do this?

Thanks in advance.
