It is set to be unveiled on April 29th, 2024.
The new teaser also shows the revised climate controls on the new infotainment screen.
Exterior changes include a redesigned fascia, new alloy wheels, and connected LED taillights.
Expected features include dual-zone AC, panoramic sunroof, six airbags, and ADAS.
Likely to get the same petrol and diesel engine options as the outgoing model, the XUV300.

Ahead of the unveiling of the Mahindra XUV 3XO on April 29th, the automaker has been releasing new teasers revealing fresh details of the facelifted XUV300 (now called the XUV 3XO). Mahindra has dropped yet another teaser for the XUV 3XO, this time briefly showing the connected car tech and climate controls of the SUV.

As seen in the video teaser, the Mahindra XUV 3XO will be equipped with connected car technology, allowing users to control the AC remotely with a smartphone. This feature will be particularly useful during extreme summers, where it will enable drivers to pre-cool the cabin before entering the car. The teaser also highlights the climate control settings displayed on the infotainment screen. We expect the XUV 3XO to retain the dual-zone AC from its outgoing version, the XUV300.
