Mahindra XUV300 Set to Be Rebranded as XUV 3XO, Global Debut Scheduled for April 29

After being spotted numerous times, the updated Mahindra XUV300 is set to debut on April 29. The unveiling comes with the release of the first official teaser, which gives a glimpse of the refreshed design elements. An unexpected twist is that the SUV will now be called the XUV 3XO, a departure from the previous ‘XUV300’ nomenclature.

Design updates
The first teaser of the XUV 3XO gives a glimpse of its fresh design elements. A notable change is the introduction of connected LED taillights and a taller bumper, which shows Mahindra’s commitment to modern styling. The rear will feature a revised tailgate to accommodate these new lighting elements, with an attractive “XUV 3XO” badge and Mahindra’s distinctive “Twin Peaks” logo. The facelifted XUV300 will get a fresh fascia with chrome-finished triangular embellishments in the grille, flanked by updated headlight clusters. It features fang-shaped LED DRLs, projector headlights, fog lamps, and an updated alloy wheel design, expected to add to the aesthetic appeal of the SUV.

Expected interior
While details about the interior are yet to be fully revealed, the teaser hints at revised seat upholstery and a new touchscreen unit. Spy shots suggest a redesigned dashboard layout and updated panels for the dual-zone climate control system. The XUV 3XO could get significant upgrades, like the XUV400 with dual 10.25-inch digital displays, wireless phone charging, ventilated front seats and possibly a panoramic sunroof, a first in its segment.

Safety features
The XUV 3XO is expected to get six airbags, electronic parking brake, 360-degree camera for enhanced visibility and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for added safety on the road.
Powertrain options Under the hood, the XUV 3XO is likely to retain the same powertrain options as its predecessor. These include a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine, both mated to six-speed manual and AMT gearbox options. These engines offer a blend of performance and efficiency, catering to various driving preferences.
