Last month, Mahindra launched the XUV 3XO, a facelifted version of the XUV300. The upgraded SUV features a complete overhaul inside out, improved safety, and an enhanced features list. The SUVmaker opened bookings for the XUV 3XO on May 15th, marking over 50,000 takers within an hour. Now, its deliveries have commenced across the nation.
Mahindra offers the XUV 3XO in nine variants: M1, M2, M2 Pro, M3, M3 Pro, AX5, AX5 L, AX7, and AX7 L. The mid-spec AX5 and AX5 L trims are reportedly the most in-demand.
While it’s not official, reports suggest that Mahindra has initially commenced deliveries of the AX5, AX5 L, MX3, and MX3 Pro trims, whereas despatches for the entry-level MX1, MX2, and MX2 Pro trims and the range-topping AX7 and AX7 L variants of the XUV 3XO are expected to start by late June or early July.
