Mahindra has expanded its compact SUV lineup with the launch of the XUV 3XO CNG, priced between Rs. 9.99 lakh and Rs. 12.27 lakh, ex-showroom. The new CNG version stands out with its claimed power output of 110bhp and 200Nm of torque in both petrol and CNG modes, making it a strong contender for buyers looking for performance alongside lower running costs.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG is available in four variants: MX Edge, RevX Edge (O), AX5, and RevX A. Depending on the variant, buyers get features such as a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, connected-car technology, and premium interior elements. It also features a twin-cylinder CNG setup designed to retain a usable boot capacity of 270 litres.
With a claimed fuel efficiency of 24.7km/kg, the XUV 3XO CNG aims to appeal to customers who want an SUV with modern features without relying entirely on petrol. Here is a closer look at what each variant offers.
Price
The Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG range starts at Rs. 9.99 lakh and goes up to Rs. 12.27 lakh, ex-showroom. The MX Edge is the entry-level option, while the RevX A sits at the top of the lineup.
| Variant | Ex-showroom price |
|---|---|
| MX Edge | Rs. 9.99 lakh |
| RevX Edge (O) | Rs. 10.79 lakh |
| AX5 | Rs. 11.19 lakh |
| RevX A | Rs. 12.27 lakh |
The variants offer different combinations of comfort, convenience, technology, and styling features. Buyers should compare the equipment carefully before choosing a version, as some premium features are limited to specific trims.
MX Edge
Priced at Rs. 9.99 lakh, the MX Edge is the most affordable variant of the XUV 3XO CNG. Despite being the entry-level model, it includes a useful selection of infotainment, comfort, and safety equipment.
The cabin gets a 10.25-inch infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and wired Apple CarPlay. The audio system uses four speakers, while steering-mounted audio controls make it easier to manage music and other functions while driving. A rear-view camera and reverse parking sensors also help when manoeuvring in tight spaces.
Other convenience features include cruise control, remote keyless entry, electrically adjustable outside rear-view mirrors, engine start-stop functionality, and steering modes. The driver’s power window gets a one-touch function, while the front armrest includes storage space.
Rear-seat occupants benefit from a 60:40 split-folding rear seat, rear AC vents, a USB-C charging port, a 12V socket, and adjustable second-row headrests. The exterior features bi-halogen projector headlamps alongside LED lighting elements. The variant rides on 16-inch tyres with steel wheels.
Safety equipment includes six airbags, Electronic Stability Control, ISOFIX child-seat mounts, seat-belt reminders for all passengers, and height-adjustable front seat belts. For buyers focused on essential features and value, the MX Edge offers a practical starting point.
RevX Edge
The RevX Edge (O) costs Rs. 10.79 lakh, placing it Rs. 80,000 above the MX Edge. Its main upgrades focus on convenience, cabin appearance, and exterior styling.
One of the biggest additions is a panoramic sunroof, which gives the cabin a more premium feel. The variant also gets roof rails and a dual-tone roof, along with a body-coloured or Gunmetal Grey grille. Inside, black leatherette seats add a more upscale touch.
Convenience features include electrically foldable ORVMs, automatic headlamps, automatic wipers, passive keyless entry, and push-button engine start. The driver’s seat is height-adjustable, helping occupants find a more comfortable driving position. Rear passengers also get an armrest with cupholders.
The RevX Edge (O) retains 16-inch wheels with steel rims. It is worth considering for buyers who want a panoramic sunroof and additional convenience features without moving to the more expensive AX5.
AX5
The AX5 is priced at Rs. 11.19 lakh, making it Rs. 40,000 more expensive than the RevX Edge (O). This variant brings a more substantial technology and equipment upgrade, particularly for buyers who value connected features and cabin comfort.
It features two 10.25-inch displays: one for the infotainment system and another for the instrument cluster. The audio system is upgraded to six speakers, while AdrenoX Connect with Alexa integration and online navigation add connected-car functionality. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also included.
The AX5 gets a single-pane sunroof, LED projector headlamps, and LED daytime running lights. Its exterior is further distinguished by 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, roof rails, and a rear spoiler.
Inside, the feature list includes dual-zone climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob, and a 65W USB-C charging port. Other additions include tyre-pressure monitoring, passive keyless entry, push-button start, electrically foldable ORVMs, and a height-adjustable driver’s seat.
Automatic headlamps and wipers improve convenience, while a rear wiper, washer, and defogger help maintain visibility in different weather conditions. Rear passengers get an armrest with a cupholder and an adjustable headrest for the middle seat.
For buyers who want a more technology-focused SUV, the AX5 offers a balanced combination of infotainment, comfort, and everyday usability.
RevX A
The RevX A is the most expensive XUV 3XO CNG variant, priced at Rs. 12.27 lakh. It sits Rs. 1.08 lakh above the AX5 and focuses on additional styling and audio enhancements.
Its key features include Dolby Atmos audio, black leatherette seats, a body-coloured or Gunmetal Grey grille, and a dual-tone roof. Black alloy wheels give the exterior a distinct appearance compared with the steel wheels on the MX Edge and RevX Edge (O), and the diamond-cut alloys on the AX5.
Buyers considering the RevX A should compare its equipment with the AX5 before deciding. The two variants have different feature highlights, so the right choice will depend on whether the buyer prioritises the RevX A’s styling and audio features or the AX5’s listed technology and convenience equipment.
Performance
The XUV 3XO CNG’s biggest selling point is its claimed output of 110bhp and 200Nm of torque in both petrol and CNG modes. This gives it a strong performance-focused proposition in the factory-fitted CNG compact SUV segment.
The claimed fuel efficiency stands at 24.7km/kg. Actual mileage can vary depending on traffic, driving style, road conditions, passenger load, and maintenance. Buyers should also consider local CNG availability when estimating their potential savings.
Mahindra’s twin-cylinder arrangement helps preserve boot usability, with a reported usable capacity of 270 litres. That can be important for families who need space for shopping bags or smaller luggage while still benefiting from CNG running costs.
Verdict
The Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG offers four variants aimed at different priorities. The MX Edge covers essential features and safety equipment at the lowest price, while the RevX Edge (O) adds a panoramic sunroof and convenience upgrades. The AX5 is the technology-focused option, with dual 10.25-inch displays, connected features, dual-zone climate control, and alloy wheels. The RevX A adds distinctive styling and Dolby Atmos audio.
With a claimed 110bhp, 200Nm of torque, a fuel-efficiency figure of 24.7km/kg, and a twin-cylinder setup, the XUV 3XO CNG could appeal to buyers seeking a feature-rich compact SUV with the potential for lower fuel expenses. Before booking, buyers should confirm the latest variant-wise equipment, prices, and availability with an authorised Mahindra dealership.
