Hi am from Chennai and have booked same variant. I noticed a mention about on road price was at 18.2l. my dealer has quoted 19.8. may I know which dealership in Chennai you booked in Chennai. I find MM a little cheaper but not at the rate you have quoted. Kivraj is the most expensive... Any suggestions to get the rate negotiated...

[@autoandart8832]

I calculated 14.99 + 18% road tax + Around 50K for insurance = 18.2L - Don't take expensive insurance from dealer, just buy it from PolicyBazaar. Also refuse any mandatory accessories. You can write to Mahindra Customer care if dealer demands you take inflated insurance from them or try to force you to buy accessories you do not need. You need not consider TCS in on-rad price as it comes back to you when you file tax returns.

very detailed review 👍MX3 AT P is best VFM T Roxx with all essentials & some can add afterwords .. myself booked little late Hope M&M commits delviery !!

[@autoandart8832]

@@SanKiranKReddy absolutely, in all other variants (MX5, AX5L etc.), the difference between Petrol AT and Diesel AT is just Rs. 50,000. In case MX3 alone, the petrol AT is cheaper than the Diesel AT by Rs. 2,50,000! You straightaway save 2 lakhs on ex-showroom price (around 2.5 lakhs in on-road price) by going for MX3 Petrol AT over Diesel AT (MX3 P AT is Rs. 14.99 lakhs instead of Rs. 17.49 lakhs for MX3 D AT). Plus, MX3 Petrol AT comes with rear disc brakes, while the much more expensive D AT comes with only drum brakes in the rear.

[@kumalaalaasavestaa]

how does the manual mode in transmission even work? like there isn't any paddle shifters ?

[@sivk9963]

You can slide the gear lever to the left and nudge it up/down to shift manually. But the vehicle will shift to a higher gear only if RPM is > 1900 or so.

[@autoandart8832]

Correct, it only works for downshifts, seldom works for upshifts.

[@kumalaalaasavestaa]

@@autoandart8832 got it, thanks. Would've loved if it had paddle shifters but ah well, I'll be booking it after it comes in CSD.

[@kumalaalaasavestaa]

@@sivk9963 ah got it, also how does the descent assist work? like does it physically brake using brakes or with downshifting for engine braking or something?

[@autoandart8832]

@@kumalaalaasavestaa You just turn on Hill Descent Control when going steep downhill and take your foot off the accelerator and brake. It is will brake itself as needed and get you down safely.

[@kirandevariya]

Nice vlog👌 However two other important features (besides alloy wheels & fog lamps) that the MX3 variant misses out in comparison to MX5/higher variants are (a) Acoustic windshield (leading to better noise insulation/NVH levels & (b) Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

[@autoandart8832]

Yes, however, the cabin is eerily quiet even in the MX3. One can always switch out the windshield to Acoustic one without a major cost later on (around Rs. 8000). Yes TPMS is a miss, but I never had a flat tire on my 3 door and TPMS was more of a bother throwing error messages when the pressure dipped even slightly and forcing a visit to the pump to refill. Also TPMS can be fitted aftermarket as well.

[@47KrishnakantSingh]

Did you installed the alloy wheels from company.. If yes then whats the price for those ? Also how muc did you paid for insurance

[@autoandart8832]

Mahindra charges 12,000 per alloy wheel I believe. I got it from tire dealer, Someone with an AX5L had just changed to larger aftermarket non-Mahindra alloys at this guy's place and I was lucky to get the stock alloys for Rs. 35,000 for a set of 5.

[@logancoutinho21]

What floor mats are those?

[@autoandart8832]

@@logancoutinho21 GFX - they are the best, custom made for Thar Roxx. You can get them from carhatke.com for about Rs. 4000 for a set covering front and rear row. I hate the 7D ones with multiple design patterns and textures. Just love the convenience, fit and finish of the GFX ones. I had these on my Thar 3 door too. Just remove the bucketed mat which has raised edges to trap the dirt and dump the dirt out. They are made of ruddy plastic, and can withstand mud and rough stones too and will last longer than the car itself!

[@ritikgupta2866]

I am also planning to buy this variant mx3 petrol automatic but very nervous about the mileage some youtuber claiming about getting 5-6kmpl average in the bumper to bumper traffic ? What mileage you are getting in the city traffic? Also this will be my primary car so planning to do the trip in every 2-3 month rest the vehicle not be use so much Also in a month i will not drive more than 500Km so what do you prefer to go with the petrol or diesel car for me? The difference in petrol and diesel AT is 2lakh

[@sivk9963]

Go for Petrol eyes closed. Your yearly running is 6000 km only, so even in an extreme case assuming get 6 kpl on Petrol and 9 kpl on diesel, you need 1000 litres of petrol versus 670 litres of diesel per year. The difference in fuel expense per year is only 330*100+670*10 = 40,000. You will need to run the diesel for 8 years to break even with the petrol, as on-road price difference will be close to 3 lakhs between MX3 PAT and MX3 DAT. Mist importantly, you get a detuned less powerful diesel mHawk in MX3. But you get the full power petrol with 175 HP and 370NM. It is a hoot to drive!
