Mahindra has given the XUV300 a new name and some major upgrades, but can it take on the segment leader? 

XUV 3XO vs Nexon Specification Comparison

The replacement for the dated Mahindra XUV300 is here and it’s called the Mahindra XUV 3XO. With this new and improved (read: facelifted) offering, Mahindra has set its sights at the top of the sub-4m SUV segment. One of its key rivals is the Tata Nexon, so let’s see how these two fare against each other on paper. Let’s start with the dimensions:

  • The Nexon might be longer, but the XUV 3XO is bigger in every other aspect. 

  • However, the Tata promises a higher boot capacity than the Mahindra and a higher ground clearance too.

  • Both, the Mahindra 3XO and Tata Nexon, offer the choice of 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. However, the Mahindra has two versions of the turbo-petrol engine on offer, with the second one featuring direct injection for more performance.

  • Like the Mahindra XUV300, the 3XO has more torque to offer no matter the engine, but also has the choice of more powerful turbo-petrol and diesel engines.

  • While the Nexon offers as many as four transmission options with its turbo-petrol engine, including both AMT and dual-clutch automatics, the XUV 3XO gets one manual choice and a new torque converter auto.

  • Both SUVs offer manual and AMT options with their diesel engines.

  • When it comes to claimed fuel efficiency figures, the Mahindra 3XO’s turbo-petrol engines are ahead of the Nexon’s turbo-petrol engine. However, the Tata SUV’s diesel engine promises way more kilometres to the litre than the Mahindra.

  • In terms of highlight features, the Mahindra XUV 3XO has managed to pull a slight edge over the Tata Nexon. This is mainly down to the panoramic sunroof, ADAS suite and dual-zone climate control.

  • However, the Nexon still has some advantages over the 3XO with its more futuristic LED lighting setup inside and out, ventilated front seats and more premium audio system. 

  • Both these sub-4 metre SUVs are evenly matched (on paper) in areas concerning the infotainment unit, digital driver’s display, airbags, and 360-degree camera.

  • Also note, Mahindra has stated that it shall offer wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality for the 3XO, but it is not going to be available right away and will be introduced later on via a software update.

  • We would also like to point out that there have been many reports about reliability issues with the Tata Nexon and the poor quality of aftersales service. If Mahindra’s new 3XO can avoid these pitfalls, it would become a lot easier to choose between these two cars.
