[@90zkid]

Own a nexon pure , petrol version. Engine performance is good for a 3 cyl, surprisingly its much more refined than its previous generation. Sport mode is fun. Getting an average of 18-19 on highway & 14 in the city. But nexon diesel is a different beast altogether. Its torquey, more fuel efficient & super fun to drive. Always wanted to buy a diesel but had to go for petrol due to the 10yr law. And yes the ergonomics of nexon'n cabin are poor, no cup holders & stupidly placed usb ports. Xuv has great engines, but it looks horrible. Looks as if a 5yr designed the front of the car.

[@taurus50000]

After u buy the car, how it looks outside is the problem the public has to deal with. What really matters is the refinement and overall driving experience.

[@90zkid]

@@taurus50000 no, I have to walk up to and come out of that vehicle everyday. If it looks ugly to me, I'm not buying it no matter how refined engine it has.

Bhai I planning to buy 3xo diesel but worried about dpf issues and future of diesel cars in india...please share your experience with dpf issue....how soon it's getting clogged and what it's solution

[@simanta.baruah]

When dpf light glows make the car rocket in 1st & 2nd gear only. Shift up when the DPF light turns off

[@indianautotalk]

Glad you have asked, dpf issue isn’t being highlighted enough. on 30th may I took delivery of an ax5 diesel 3x0. Now it’s at service center since 23rd September. I have done 3600 kms till. Except for a 1500kms long trip rest have been short trips . In a week usually I drive 6 days 10kms per day and 1 day day 100-150 . So far in these 3 and half month of owner ship I love the car , it drives will , it’s peppy, it’s comfortable and one of the best dynamically sorted . I switch between a Tata nano , Innova crysta and sonet and 3x0 and I like the 3x0 overall , sonet is good in highways but the stiffer suspension is hard on slow speed bad roads . Coming to the pain part : so far had to do regen 5 times in the last 3 and a half month . The first 3 times probably with one a month . Last 2 times with in a span of 3 days . One 13th sep: I had driven 80kms enthusiastically. Regen popped on 15th night , did park regen 16th morning , it ran for about 20mins on 3000rpm . Then again regen priompted on 19th morning , did park regen again and register a complaint to Mahindra .

If you are looking for Auto, then you can blindly go for Kia or Hyundai. However am surprised with my Nexon Petrol DCA performance which is on par with Hyundai DCT.

[@johndavidson3424]

Go for either Mahindra 3XO, Kia Sonet, & Hyundai Venue, for best deal but avoid the rest & 1.2l VTVT opt.s on both Sonet & Venue. You wouldn't regret this decision.

[@shashank511]

Is it just me or others also find both car over designed. 3x0 has all sorts of elements all over the place, and nexon sharp from front is massively curvy from b pillar onwards making it very dipropionate . TBH, i have always hated the extremely raked window line in Nexon, which makes its rear look very bulky and overall the car looks as if it is in a squatting position. But all things fine, where is the rubber pad of the brake pedal in nexon :P

[@amaljoe367]

The new Nexon design is very minimalistic. Not at all over designed.

[@tsk8349]

You are not alone

[@avrx947]

3xo to an extent yes but the Nexon, not really. It’s pretty simple and neat imo.

[@shikshadaan8234]

I second you

[@rajaguruperiasamy8845]

Exactly my view. 3XO is just too loud and off putting (especially the small diamond patterns everywhere). Nexon's window line is too raked. The rear ends abruptly on both.

[@geetarthneo]

1. XUV300 is not a homegrown Mahindra, it is a Tivoli of Korea. 2. That so called premium white interior is disgusting, even though you tried to clean it up there was still dirty hand grime marks on the roof handles of the rear seats. XUV300 wins because it has a worse rear seat, poor boot, slower, less efficient, work in progress UI, weird design, out dated looking interior and a overly light EPS. Understood.

[@arunvishnum.e3156]

In that case, Nexon has its heart straight from Italy(Fiat). Worst rear space, unrefined Engine. compared to Tata, Mahindra has better quality and reliability

[@abhiram.b8848]

[@TRITON_X]

3xo has too much of design and cuts going around

[@gobimurugesan2411]

Perks of modern cutting machines

[@pulakpandey8946]

I have XUV 300 and from the outside it does look better than the 3XO. 3X0' s front styling doesn't match with the rear and the dashboard has tech but the design feels outdated and it also does not match with the styling of the car. Round steering wheels look ugly. Except the design everything is good.

[@itsmeee7364]

I agree I too own xuv300 diesel xuv300 front is very bold and look larger than 3x0

[@saiekrishna]

No offense to anyone, but I feel that car reviews are becoming overly critical, focusing on minor flaws that don't really matter. For example, having a slightly high boot loading lip isn't a big deal. And scrutinizing audio and creature comforts? Come on, the basic and more prominent objective is to drive the car from one place to another, that's what's most important. If you ask me, start the review with that first. Also, in my opinion, not just the design, but the entire car experience should be subjective. We're all different, and no one can accurately predict what people will like.

[@kunalkavthekar3747]

Isn’t that a good thing brother? Cars these days are very decently built in general that the difference and the edge a car gets over another is wafer thin and highly dependent on the buyers preference. Let’s enjoy the options without having to discount cars due to disastrous flaws

[@saiekrishna]

@@kunalkavthekar3747 I see your point, but I still believe that engine performance and drive quality should take precedence over creature comforts. At the end of the day, a car's primary function is to provide a great driving experience. While comfort is nice, the core driving aspects are what truly matter when evaluating a vehicle. I also feel people are more open about their preferences now. Just look at the demand, cars are piling up in dealer yards. It’s not that people aren’t buying, but at what cost? Now a days, the price of a car is not directly proportional to what it offers.

[@tanyachatterjee1544]

I agree with you, creature comforts aren’t that important, in fact, about 70% of people don’t use them in their lifetime (myself included), which makes them a waste of money. I also find Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and infotainment systems in general to be useless. You still need your smartphone to connect, so why not just buy a phone stand and use it? Anyways, infotainment systems, for the most part, are used for maps and music only, nothing else. Nowadays, I prefer to buy a decent car without all the unnecessary embellishments and just drive it for its entire lifespan, no headaches at all.

[@saiekrishna]

@@tanyachatterjee1544 That's true, but we can't overlook safety. The two most important factors are safety and engine, no question about it. Everything else is just marketing tactics.

[@tanyachatterjee1544]

@@saiekrishna Absolutely, safety is the most important factor. I'm not at all concerned with speed, so a reliable engine is more than sufficient for me.

EV sector itself is an eco friendly scam. Diesel cars hurt authorities because they are an asset, not a commodity. They last 6-7 lakh km easily, are fuel-efficient and performance-oriented, and don't fit into the 5-7 year rebuying cycle that keeps tax collectors, banks, and brands happy. Rest choice is all yours

By considering Nexon’s negative points like throttle response, gear shift lag, Little vibration inside the cabin, worst service complaints, Diesel engine refinement is not up to the mark. I would go for 3xo which scores high expect some small software issue but that can be sorted out. 3xo is cleary a winner. you cant compare mahindra’s diesel with Tata’s diesel.

[@Irahhtan]

Took test drive of xuv 3xo .... What is the use of longest wheelbase if rear seat comfort is below average...... Front seats are bitter disappointment too..... Otherwise the vehicle is good go

[@vfrfandom3904]

I generally thought when I saw the black plume of smoke coming from behind my car. Naturally, Turbo is a huge "sucker' over there, but my Mitsu 4D56 is renowned for its adaptability to a wide variety of climates and elevations, excelling in both low-lying and high-lying areas. Even with lower-quality diesel fuels, its mechanical fuel injection systems (found in older models, like ours in India) perform better than some of the more advanced cars. Never expect such dependability from your never-BS6 Diesel. Are these Mahindra`s capable of adapting with lower quality Diesel? I guess then only you might do this review.

I would say think twice before buying any diesel car in this era with emission norms getting very stringent. However between these two i would recommend 3XO over nexon.
