What the MX3 Diesel AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the MX3 Diesel AT comes to ₹11,82,260 on the road in Itanagar and ₹13,61,480 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹1,79,220 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹11.23L ex-showroom this is the 23rd of 39 XUV 3XO variants by price, ₹4,000 above the AX5 CNG MT. The same MX3 features start at ₹1.94L less as the MX3 Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed automated manual (amt). Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest REVX EDGE actually costs ₹1.84L less than this variant and buys rear parking camera and rear centre armrest with cupholders among 4 additions, though it gives up headlamps (Bi-LED projector against Halogen). Worth knowing that the REVX EDGE is not sold with the Diesel with the 6-speed automated manual (amt), so the move changes the powertrain too.

Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Diesel AT?
- ₹11.23L, ex-showroom. That makes it 23rd of 39 by price, ₹4,000 above the AX5 CNG MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Diesel AT?
- Expect ₹11,82,260 in Itanagar and ₹13,61,480 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹1,79,220 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Diesel AT have?
- The Diesel, 117 PS, with the 6-speed automated manual (AMT). The maker's figure for it is 21.2 km/l.
- What features does the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Diesel AT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Headlamps (Bi-LED projector), Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, Cruise control, Touchscreen (10.25"), Speakers (4) and Airbags (6).
- What does the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Diesel AT miss out on?
- The REVX EDGE above it adds rear parking camera, rear centre armrest with cupholders, height-adjustable driver seat and leatherette upholstery, for ₹1.84L less. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the REVX EDGE is not sold with this one. It would also cost you headlamps (Bi-LED projector against Halogen) and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, so it is not purely a step up.
- Is the MX3 the right XUV 3XO to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Mahindra XUV 3XO which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
