As stated in the company's press release, 27,000 people ordered the Mahindra XUV 3XO crossover in India in just the first 10 minutes of opening the orders. Later, the booking rate dropped slightly, but 50,000 orders were placed in the first hour alone, exhausting the model's initial quota. The unprecedented interest in the budget model is due to the fact that its price is only 8,300 euros.
The reaction of the Indian market and the increased demand for the new cheap crossover is natural, because for such a price even in India you cannot buy a crossover. Therefore, plagiarism remains in the background - for example, the interior is almost completely copied from the electric car XUV400, including the two-tone torpedo, media system and virtual dashboard.
Among the exclusive equipment of the model there is a panoramic roof with sunroof, two-zone climate control, as well as several safety functions. Thanks to the introduction of advanced systems, developers reach the level 2 driver assistance standard (ADAS). This includes adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking and a lane keeping system.
The driver will also feel more confident with the electronic parking brake, which has an automatic hold function. There are several power units - two gasoline and a diesel. For example, the 1.2-liter turbo-petrol version with direct injection has a power of 111 hp. and 200 Nm. There is also a more powerful 1.2 liter direct injection turbo petrol engine with 129 horses and 230 Nm. And the 1.5-liter diesel engine produces a maximum of 116 hp. and 300 Nm.
