POV DRIVE/REVIEW: 2024 Mahindra XUV 3X0 | 82KW(112HP) |

[@Solid_Opinion]

8:28 Suzuki Fronx auto has 4 speed, this has 6. Another thing, Fronx still has the old boring analogue speedometer cluster, this is digital. Fronx doesn't have a sunroof, this has. Fronx interior is too much in terms of colours used. This is more classier

[@DRexJ5]

Suzuki needs to go back to the drawing board, AX3 and AX5L already delivers great value..

[@pulakprakriti]

Fronx is a lower segment car.

[@keamogetsweizaac8530]

That infotainment area looks so much better than before!! In the previous model it looked like one of those old stereo thingies from the 2000s with the big volume knob in the middle, plus the orange accent light. Don't know about that indicator sound though...and that wind noise, I thought you had the sunroof open. But overall, super excited, looks like the Baleno and Fronx have competition, and dare I say the Tiggo 4 pro

[@khanyisaninondaba1069]

Yes Tiggo 4 Pro has a challenger! I hope they make aspiring great improvements on the upcoming 2025 face-lifted model

[@TrainsandRockets]

I have XUV 3XO AX5L variant... Which means ADAS, TGDi engine (130Hp-230Nm) , 360° surround system...with the more comfortable 16 inch Alloy Wheels. Its awesome feeling to drive it. ❤

[@thabodlamini36]

R405 000 for all of that? That's a great deal.

[@Solid_Opinion]

Exactly. I don't know how people place value in features. 400k for these features is a great deal. Fronx GLX even though it is almost R300k, I doesn't have half of these features

[@lindokuhleshandu4024]

Before I came across this car, I was so adamant to get myself a Suzuki Fronx, but I'm beginning to change my mind.

[@khanyi_zulu]

Same.🤞🏾😩

[@lindokuhleshandu4024]

​@@khanyi_zulu Mahindra is a beauty. I can't resist her.

[@Shadow_Blazer]

Get the Mx3 or Ax5 those are the mid range models that still offer a lot and it's around the same price as the front GLX

[@johane956]

Fantastic car, drives well, 6 speed 1.2T engine is great. The AX5L is the one I would go for. I would also like to see Mahindra BE.05 also launching in South Africa when incentives have kicked in 2026.

[@rivoningo]

Rockstar! This came out beautifully.

[@embakubmotoring]

🙏🏽

[@pulakprakriti]

This colour looks good.

[@CharlieMakhubele]

4:55 the ford ecosport does the same thing, the steering wheel gets hard when you drive pass 110km/h. I noticed it alot of time when driving at high speeds, it gets so hard and I think I like it 👌 it feels safe

[@aphelelenase]

Great work detailing the ride. Really great knowing all the models will feel that good no matter the trim. The M trims don't have the intrusive driver assistance stuff and that might be a win in some way. I think I'm in love with this car.

[@embakubmotoring]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@franzrabe4584]

I agree with you fully - unfortunately I'm a big panoramic sunroof fan... 😁

[@GeekyMsN]

I like to see that black interior in 3xo but here in India only white interior is available 😶

[@mfundontlombe4359]

I think a bit of depreciation will assist the sales... At 405, it's a NO... but as a demo under R400K, the auto will kick ass, especially amongst the crowd that's anti-CVT, and considering that ill-considered 4-speed in the Suzuki Fronx.

[@nqobanigumede6287]

I'm looking forward to this kinder reviews.....may you get more of this

[@irvinmkhari9088]

Suzuki and toyota make cars for old people

[@Lutenzena]

Yea true

[@Bjm365]

No lies bro. The only swift I dig of course is the swift sport. But otherwise aii those brands bore me 😩

[@zimvomale774]

Would've been nice to see you guys drive the base or mid spec ranges because like you said that's where you think they'll get more sales. Some of us really watch these reviews because we want to find out more about cars we considering so watching this spec review did leave me wondering about the other lower end ranges. Though I get it it's the brands that decide what they'll give you to test out

[@embakubmotoring]

Yeah unfortunately we only had the top specs

[@LakheKamvalakhe]

I would buy this, I love it 🔥

[@samueldlamini3628]

Great Review as always.... Can you kindly do a review on Mahindra XUV 700 Flagship "Black Edition" 🇿🇦🚘🙏🏽

[@embakubmotoring]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@sibusisomfisoul]

I think the Midspec is the one that is a bit cheaper that can be a good buy. Since you drove Fronx, Baleno and now the XUV 3X0........... which can you pick between the three according to you?

[@embakubmotoring]

I’m mainly leaning towards the Fronx, the Mahindra feels a bit flimsy with its assist systems, and I feel like the Fronx looks much better

[@sibusisomfisoul]

@@embakubmotoring The thing about the Mahindra that makes it better is that 6th gear that would make the Fronx better but I agree with you.

[@johane956]

It also got ADAS level 2 on the AX5L and AX7L, which is fantastic to have. Personally, if I would pick one, it would be the AX5L.

[@imVyshakh]

To be honest, Suzuki Fronx GLX competes more with AX5 grade of XUV3XO. Even then you get more features in the AX5 compared to the Fronx.

[@Bjm365]

Aaaah ntwayzen. I always look forward to your vlogs bro. Even if you'd shoot chickens eating corn I'd still watch the whole thing 🙌🏾😂🔥 Shoutout boet!... Quite a lookable car, very ugly-nice 👌🏽. The interior of this Mahindra looks much much better than Suzukis and Toyota. I hate those interiors 🤦🏾‍♂️ I love the price point. Impressive

[@embakubmotoring]

😂😂🙏🏽

[@AryanKhokhar-hf3up]

Black look so cool

[@lindokuhleshandu4024]

How much is the manual version of this beauty?

[@embakubmotoring]

I’m not really sure what the pricing is on those, but you can easily find it on Google

[@LeonelAndresMessi30]

Out all trims available, which one would you recommend, except the last one

[@embakubmotoring]

The second last one

[@pover5825]

Nice video Just a side note It is not a amt it is a proper 6 speed aisin auto

[@embakubmotoring]

🙏🏽

[@adarshabadrinath1304]

Does Fronx have ADAS2. What about safety rating of the two cars. Obviously cost will be more.

[@embakubmotoring]

No it doesn’t

[@nohandleava]

Mahindra has 5 Star

[@NtokozoKotelo]

m340i lci plz❤

[@maplez470]

What is the difference between top spec aand entry level

[@embakubmotoring]

A few features like the sunroon, assistance driving systems…

[@TheKasiGearhead]

Marking the register ✅ Can we please have a Mazda CX-3 🙏 That is a little, underated car. The 2.0 petrol is punchy And should Mazda introduce a turbocharged CX-3 Speed, it will be a beast. It could easily compete with the polo GTI in terms of power but a few more tunes it could be in the ranks of the I30N and Golf. Mazda is missing the market 😢 The only letdown of the CX3 is the price 💸,407K for the base model 🙆😢 but a great little car

[@TheKasiGearhead]

Although the Mazda 3 speed could fill in the gap, it's hella expensive 💸🙆

[@TechTorquewithLenzoe]

@@TheKasiGearhead Hella bro cx3 compared to a GTI no way power to weight ratio bro cx3 is way heavier than a GTI and the GTI is turbocharged?😭😂😂😂🤷🏿‍♂️

[@moemotala6758]

Best to wait and buy as demo. Or better still buy the base model...same body and motor and loses just a few unnecessary features

[@johane956]

Would not really agree on unnecessary features. This car does have good features if you would go 1 trim up. But it's obviously a personal choice. It's still a funky car.

[@moemotala6758]

@@johane956 yes it boils down to personal pref. i thought it was the best looking compact in south africa.

When you review cars, please do tell your people about the practicality of the cars. I am from India, I own a hyundai Venue, I wanted to buy the Xuv 300 since we were already mahindra users, but 300 was a little expensive than the Hyundai Venue, I couldn't buy it. When I talk about the practicality, well getting in and out of my hyundai venue is so difficult, you really need to spread your legs and bend your hips to get out of the car, it is especially more difficult for the Indian women who wear sarees. I drove Both Tata Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Brezza and both are much more practical vehicles than my Venue. Both of them are bigger from Inside, have more space and their shock absorbers are way more comfortable than my Venue. There's no problem in getting in and out of those cars. Venue's suspensions are just not made for Indian roads. There are many more negatives about the venue but I can't tell everything here. The only good thing about Hyundai is its fit and finish and it seems like my venue would last a bit longer.

[@siddheshbirje6050]

Fronx is not in this league. One step lower catergory

[@embakubmotoring]

Mahindra themselves mentioned it as a serious competitor to their car during the press conference, so I’m not sure what you mean…
