Mahindra XUV 3XO First Impressions | S02E21

[@rishavbanerjee7683]

Guys I booked the 3X0 AX5 PT MT after reviewing all the competitors and visiting and test driving them from the showroom. My first glance at the car was from the rear and the interior, booth looks and feels amazing when I moved into the front I almost made a choice not to get this one. I was moving more towards Sonet cz of the looks it offered. After about a week, one day while riding back home from work I saw the 3XO in flesh at the highway coming from the opposite direction, it was around evening and the sun was about to set but still there was enough daylight. Man! that look of the car in the highway changed my mind completely. The front actually looks damn good. Immediately after that I saw another 3X0 and it looked even prettier. The reason being why people are not finding this car good looking enough is because our eyes are not used to this kind of design language. Venue, Nexon, Sonet, Brezza has identical looks and that is what our eyes are used to look at. Once this car starts rolling out from the showroom and people gets used to its looks, I'm sure this car will eat up all it's competitors because this actually looks very good from the front. People who are wanting to buy this car but are skeptical about the looks I would suggest them to wait and check the car out on highways or in your locality, I'm sure you will like this car after seeing it 3-4 times.

[@spookyskellyskeleton609]

How do nexon have the same look as brezza? I'm sorry but are you sure

[@mphoray1273]

I almost thought i am weird for thinking the car looks amazing.

[@SpaceTruckin]

How is your experience as an owner now? When I tried the manual during a test drive, the lack of a dead pedal and the cramped space around the clutch made it very uncomfortable, even during a 10km ride. My feet kept hitting the bottom end of the center console.

[@rishavbanerjee7683]

@@SpaceTruckin Purchasing the 3XO has been the best decision of my life, the power and driving dynamics feels amazing. I never felt the need of a dead pedal as I have the habit of diving some of the old manual cars without power steetring :D I'm 5'11 and I felt the same issue as hitting the centre console but I would suggest adjusting the seat as per your height. This will make you feel better and I never no complaints now as far as the sitting is concerned. The car has magical suspensions, on high speed it becomes stiff and on bad road it handles very well. All in all this car is the VFM in this segments in terms of power, comfort & enthusiasm. All that you need to enjoy you car in the long run. Mileage is a thing where you need to be little careful about but I have no complaints whatsoever. The car makes me feel good and that's what is important also never felt any lack in features. I got the AX5 PT MT

[@VineetBhombore]

Hey guys. I had a chance to test drive the base turbo petrol with the TC automatic gearbox in Bangalore at Sireesh Auto. A friend of mine made an early booking for the car and I drove the car a couple of times around the showroom. My impressions are as follows: 1. The engine is refined, cabin noise is minimal. 2. The steering is light and easy to manoeuvre in the city. The max speed I could reach was 60 Km/h, so I don't have an opinion about the steering at high speeds. 3. The TC is quite smooth, but the gearshifts are slow if you are used to faster shifting gearboxes. But that being said, it does a good job for the type of car the 3XO is. It does not have a very aggressive 'creep' from standstill (unlike the VW 1.0 TSI cars with the TC gearbox). I came away very impressed after the test drive. I drove the AX5 variant for reference.

[@motorinc]

Hey Vineet! Excellent. Just what we were hoping for. So the base engine is the one to try out. Thank you so much.

[@VineetBhombore]

@@motorinc Yes. I wish Mahindra considers providing the base turbo petrol with the top (AX5L, AX7 and AX7L) models as well. But then we'd come very close to the ridiculous number of variants that Tata offers with the Nexon 😉!

[@motorinc]

Hahaha! Not as bad. But, close.

[@buseli]

Prev gen TGDi Owner here. 130hp + 6 speed manual is a gem. I'm guessing M&M gave TGDi with TC only to journalists to promote the new engine + gearbox combo. A little more feedback in the steering would make me forget the already mostly out of mind ancient interiors, but the new 3xo takes care of that (interiors and hopefully the steering) I guess. The "shunt" when the turbo kicks in is real. Real hard to get started from a standstill in second. 1st gear too jerky for stop and go traffic. Prev gen didn't have ADAS and the parking sensors aren't that touchy so hopefully M&M fixes it in the final production run. Haven't tested the new one but 10/10 recommend TGDi + 6-speed manual from current experience and what I see of the new car. Everything has flaws, be cognizant of what you can live with 😉

[@buseli]

Service: Even a metro like Chennai has only 2-3 service centers and I have to make two trips to the other side of the city to drop it off and collect it back. Good quality service but quantity is missing. And because of this their personnel are often too busy for a home pickup-drop no matter how much you're willing to pay for it

[@gautamjg]

As an owner of the previous version (2021 Diesel base model) I am extremely happy that Mahindra decided to finally give a facelift that is worth considering for many others as well. I've been driving the car for almost 3 years now and I can confidently say that it is one of the best highway cars out there and the amazing combination of great fuel efficiency (around 21 kmpl) while cruising at 95-105 kmph is too damn good to ignore. The suspension I feel is one of the best in the segment and just like you guys said, the seats are very comfortable and you won't feel tired even after a full day of driving. The boot space was never a problem for me as we usually travel light but we did go to Goa for a 5-day trip with 5 on board and their luggage, and we did not feel like we were lacking space. Of course, we had to plan the positioning of the baggages which some might feel is a pain but considering that 3 of them at the back seat were able to sit comfortably for the entire 1600kms over 4 days I would say it is worth it. Overall a great car but not for someone who carries a lot of baggage 😉

[@ayushbagouli4703]

The average is with tgdi or non tgdi engine?

[@motorinc]

Thanks for the feedback Gautam!

[@buseli]

@@ayushbagouli4703 there's only one spec with the diesel. only the petrol has a base turbo and a tgdi turbo

[@Vishnu-B]

Hi Gautam, I like the xuv and it is at the top of my shortlist. But I'm thinking between the T-GDI and the diesel. Regarding the diesel, 1. How is its power? Is it adequate or is it properly powerful? In case if you have driven the 130 hp petrol xuv, how close to it does the diesel come? 2. Does the xuv diesel come with the ad-blu tank? And is there anything else apart from ad-blu to keep in mind? 3. Ever since the first launch of the xuv300, I always thought its boot was more of a minor inconvenience than a deal breaker... good to see that is the actual case. If it can take 5 people's 4days' luggage, I'm not even thinking about it anymore. So, Thank you for mentioning that, fuel efficiency and highway manners. If possible elaborate/give any key details/highlights on its highway manners, if something stands out. Cheers!

[@Akhilesh_bhatt]

When I bought my Ford Ecosport, I also went to the Mahindra showroom, which is within walking distance from my home, to look at the Bolero Neo and the XUV 300. I went there twice, but they didn't have either car available for a test drive, and they didn't seem interested in making a sale. In my experience, Mahindra and Tata have the worst showroom experiences.

[@motorinc]

same story in Noida. Couple of years back when I went to check out the 300. One feels unwanted in M&M showrooms. Huge difference from other cos like Toyota, Honda MG or even Maruti and Tata. Been thinking of buying 700x5 or the top end automatic versions of elevate/ Creta/ Seltos/Hyrider etc.

[@SkeptikIndian]

Ohh I had a similar experience. I too bought the Ecosport. I remember they gave me a Thar to test which wasn't a test vehicle and it got stuck in 3rd gear. The showroom guys told me that they will repair it and give it to me 😮 Mahindra service is at par with Tata service in terms of poor service and bad attitude.

[@aresalexanderpeverell3152]

Just planning to get the XUV 3XO AX5 variant. Gets everything I can ask for in my budget. The engine is great, even the base 1.2L petrol, it has decent ground clearance and gets the job done since I’ll mostly have a second passenger and no more than that. The interiors feel good, although they come with an inherent risk of getting dirty. The technology offered is decent, but Mahindra ADAS systems aren’t the most refined in 3XO. If you want a buy it, ride it and forget the rest car, this is for you especially if you only plan to use the first two seats. Extremely comfortable, yet classy enough especially in Black, White, Red and I like the Forest Green as well.

From my family experiences with Mahindra have not been that great, my elder brother got the XUV 700 automatic, has had his front suspension, gearbox, clutch all replaced in first 4 months, yes all under warranty, but that is just bad engineering. Sold it and got a black harrier, 15000 km so far not many issues at all. My brother in law, got the XUV 300, clutch burnt out, gearbox changed twice, under warranty, in first 3 months. Man the QC at Mahindra is horrible. Not gonna recommend any Mahindra to anyone because even after paying more at delivery than booking price, waiting months on end, is this what Mahindra gives it's customers, they just suck plainly. I have the 2022 Safari, other than a vibration issue which has been fixed, the vehicle just glides through everything. Love it so much.

[@venukrithish007]

From what I've seen on team bhp both tata Mahindra are very risky options, Mahindra being the better option though. Tata is sometimes a nightmare to own. Also shows the need for Indian manufacturers to improve QC and service to the level of the Japanese and the Koreans

[@motorinc]

Thanks for sharing your experience @hellrzr45.

[@gautamjg]

It's really bad that something like that had to happen for not one but two Mahindra products and I can understand your frustration buddy but I would like to only say that not everyone would have had the same experience as yours. I'm only giving my example as in our family we had 2 Mahindra Commander Jeep(not at the same time), then a 2008 Scorpio, and now own a 2021 XUV300 diesel. Yes we did face a few issues with the vehicles but nothing that couldn't be fixed by the Mahindra service centre. We really had and are having a great time with Mahindra products and I would definitely recommend Mahindra to everyone but also state the fact that no vehicle is perfect. We had a VW Polo as well which gave us hell and ended up selling it as soon as possible but doesn't mean I wouldn't recommend any VW car to anyone. As I said, I understand your frustration but not everyone faces the same issue always.

Turbo engines are always trouble making engines in terms of maintenance. Three cylinder engine with turbo combination will be a disaster in future. All these reviews will be changed after 3years or so. If you afford to pay more money on maintenance just go for it else stick with 4 cylinder NA engines which is reliable. Even in this case tata punch 3 Cylinder NA engines are more reliable than 3xo. Shumi please give your honest opinion at least for this comment.

Excellent work Karthi & Shumi 👍 A small tip regarding AC you have mentioned. The AC works in tandem with the exterior temperature shown in the cluster. If the cluster displays 22 degrees Celsius and you set the AC to 22 degrees, it will be hot inside. But if the exterior climate shown in the instrument cluster is 36 degrees Celsius, even if you set the car's AC to 26 degrees, it will feel very cool inside. So to maintain a comfortable temperature, try setting the AC temperature 3 to 5 degrees lower than the exterior temperature shown in the cluster. "Strange enough" 😂, but as an XUV3OO user completing just one year, these self-identified tips may help new users."

Even in roads like Bengaluru has, the pot holes are easily passable and picking up the car from lower gear again and getting up to speed is fun. The indicator noise can be dealt with one specific chime and reducing the volume, then you won't even notice it. Rest, put seat belt clips at back, doesn't annoys you with seat belt notifications.

Hey! M planning to upgrade ns200. Is EV Agood option in terms of performance and range budget would be 2L.🤗

[@motorinc]

Our rule of thumb for an EV two-wheeler is you should have an EV that gives you three times your daily commute as the true range. So, if you ride 30km every day, ideally it should be 90-100km true range. See if you can find choices that fit this and go from there. We'd recommend that you stay away from Ola products until they fix their issues.

Which is more fuel efficient TGDI or the MPFI engine for 3XO. AX5 MT variant i have driven recently. Is it good as first car. I am confused which one to choose Baleno or 3XO as my first car?

[@rajneeshrawat8158]

Hello @MOTOR INC team I am confused between nexon dca creative plus variant and 3x0 ax5 AT torques converter. I have to travel 40% city, 30% hills, 30% highway. Could you please help between the two transmission.

[@ranjitswain2069]

Just a quick 1 around the automatic gearbox. Which would you choose among the 2 - sonets dct or xuv 3xo tc for a good driving experience

[@motorinc]

It’s the combination of engine and gearbox - and we’d pick the Sonet. It’s a more flexible combination. And yes its dct is more enjoyable.

[@adityadogiparthi]

geting custom seats solves problem??

[@sormazi]

Shumi's smirks at the camera after a snarky comment is what I live for!

[@esakkiraja1940]

I booked 3xo Ax5 petrol manual its good or not

[@dineshkrishnan4029]

Xcellent review. Got no money for a car yet but enjoyed the whole thing!

[@motorinc]

Thank you for joining us @dineshkrishnan4029. We're all about the conversation...

[@thepatchedwolf]

could the inconsistency in ac be from dual zone climate control...because you did not mention that in your video...

[@motorinc]

Nope. They were synced.

[@thepatchedwolf]

@@motorinc noted thanks 👍....would be waiting for your complete review planning to buy it

[@confusedintrovert1261]

I am confused between AX5 and AX5L, mainly because of the TGDI, is TGDI prone to issues? I plan to keep the car for atleast 10 years and I'll only be using it moderately. Please help me chose one.

[@motorinc]

We would skip the TGDI. The base engine will be almost as fun and easier to drive at lower speeds (hopefully).

[@nikeshmadabal5582]

Does tgdi engine runs on normal petrol or 95 octane fuel is mandatory ?

[@motorinc]

"Recommended" is the exact wording in the manual. Which means they expect it to run best on 95

[@nikeshmadabal5582]

@kartikeya AX5L Tgdi and AX5 Diesel, both are similarly priced and I like both of them but which one will be a better choice considering all caviar.

[@goudshiva1]

It would be great if you guys talk about the base and mid variend of 3X0. Coming to my question Is it good to get MX1 and get upgraded as per the convinent or get the AX5 varient Appreciate your suggestions Thanks in advance

[@sajithstz5592]

Compared to Kia sonet how is reliability , maintenance and resale of 3xo . i have booked Kia sonet already but confused with 3x0 . Please tell your siggestions.

Glad to keep you company @rjeejacobjacob!😊

[@chandankumardhal435]

Hey, being a first time buyer, I am confused about manual and Automatic with price difference. Can you suggest one ?

[@motorinc]

Kartikeya has addressed this before @chandankumardhal435. Let your first car be a manual, learn the skill. You can switch to an automatic for the second car. Unless you live in a big city with lots of stop-and-go traffic...

[@ashishbabu73]

No other reviewers go into so much detail about the car so no point looking at other reviewers pointing out the AC issue. That is why you listen to this channel even after you have seen all the reviews on youtube.

[@motorinc]

🙏🏾 Thank you for the trust

[@Vishnu-B]

But as pointed out by an XUV300 owner, its not an issue. The AC works in tandem with the outside temperature. So if outside temp is 24 and AC temp is also 24, it will not feel cool. And if outside temp is 36 and AC is 24, it will feel very cool. And the tip is to set the AC temp 3-5 degrees lower than the outside temp shown on the instrument cluster.

[@sohandesai818]

47:00 actually they do have a Scorpio X in the pipeline. That's the trademark they've registered for their pickup concept unveiled last year in South Africa.

[@TakNuke]

Xuv300 is the nearest one could get in here a fast vehicle which can go over portholes basically a budget performance vehicle. I have one but as always xuv300 turbo sports came a year later which is my preferred model. The next car which i will buy have to be between xuv300 to creta size has the speed and ground clearance to do all. I am currently waiting for curve.

[@learner-sk]

Nice video! How would you compare 3X0 with Venue N line and i20 N line in terms of drivability, suspension and rear comfort?

[@motorinc]

If you compare the turbo petrols - the Hyundais drivability will be. Better for everyday use. Backseat - more space for sure in 3XO.

[@nishanthsalian300]

[@PratikPatil-zy6qe]

I am super confused between Mahindra 3xO and Tata Nexon .Please suggest me one .I m looking for petrol automatic and budget is 15.Also is there any other option that I can consider ?

[@motorinc]

Hey Pratik, Don’t lock on anything until you drive the Sonet turbo petrol. You can get it with the iMT too.

[@PratikPatil-zy6qe]

​@@motorincSonet DCT is around 17.My budget is 15 or max 16.I want automatic transmission.Please help.

[@PratikPatil-zy6qe]

@@motorinc plz help

[@ravitejamalisetti813]

Brezza automatic

[@alokjoshi2633]

baleno or the xuv 3xo base model for affordable driving pleasure?

[@chrisredfield3467]

39:12 since xoom and karizma have same headlight setup, should we call it karixma? Or better yet, curry x ma? I think they hid the easter egg in "xmr" nomenclature. 🤔

[@motorinc]

🤣

[@anandkrishnan8314]

Can we get a more in-depth review of the manual transmission TGDi petrol of 3x0? What do you think of MT after having driven the AT? Will it be good for both city traffic and highway?

[@samjam839]

I always skip to final summary and it’s owesome. If I have time then I listen full episode and wake-up in the morning ❤❤you both are gem

[@motorinc]

Thank you for joining us @samjam839

[@rishithotchandani7376]

Really happy that the wait till Sunday has been broken earlier. Good morning everyone ❤

[@motorinc]

Morning!

[@gokulkumar1619]

After watching the video...My only concern is about driving in day to day city traffic...is it too jerky between the pedal press and turbo kick in point...will it affect my bumper to bumper drive by giving continuous head nods..and unnecessary fear of extra push even with mild throttle??

[@motorinc]

It’s not that bad, but it doesn’t quite let you relax. You will feel a slight jerkiness in traffic. For primarily city use - not the best pick.

[@sri11611]

And this is about the petrol or the diesel? Please clarify​@@motorinc

[@thisisfr05t86]

Is the kushaq better than this in terms of drivability and performance?

[@motorinc]

The Kushaq will be easier to drive - more controllable. And we expect it to be quicker too.

[@raveendhana7084]

And the 1.0 tsi is a award winning engine and tried and tested one of these three cylinder lot.

[@sagnikrick]

My first introduction to Kartik was through the TNT 300 review back in his autocar days 9-10 years back. Followed his reviews ever since. Keep up the great work guys.

[@motorinc]

Thanks SR! Appreciate it!

[@tanmayredkar4082]

36:29 Then why was the Verna's suspension regarded not good in your point of view? Acc to this statement the Honda City's suspension should be worse as its softer and more comfier?

[@motorinc]

That’s exactly why we don’t consider the City or the Elevaye to be great all rounders. The Verna’s issue isn’t firmness - it’s a sudden sharpness. Suspension doesn’t move (up or down) at the same rate through the movement. Over sharper bumps the Verna’s suspension doesn’t feel controlled enough - we would want it to be firmer!

[@sarvajeetbodas]

Hi Kartikeya. Which is the VFM variant if once consider AT.. Also, if you are looking at compact SUV market, would you consider this as the first choice or you will prefer some other car like brezza, Nexon or Sonet ?

[@motorinc]

First choice for him is Sonet facelift. Please let us know if you have any more queries! And thanks for chatting!
