What the MX3 Diesel MT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the MX3 Diesel MT comes to ₹10,87,620 on the road in Itanagar and ₹12,52,398 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹1,64,778 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 ₹10.32L ex-showroom Delhi this is the eighth of 23 XUV 3XO variants by price, ₹2,000 above the AX5 Turbo Petrol MT. The same MX3 kit starts at ₹1.03L less as the MX3 Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed manual. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest MX3 Pro actually costs ₹81,000 less than this variant and buys single-pane sunroof. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Diesel with the 6-speed manual, the MX3 Pro starts at ₹10.86L.

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 MT?
- ₹10.32L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 8th of 23 by price, ₹2,000 above the AX5 Turbo Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Diesel MT?
- Expect ₹10,87,620 in Itanagar and ₹12,52,398 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹1,64,778 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker 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 MT have?
- The Diesel, 117 PS, with the 6-speed manual. The maker's figure for it is 20.6 km/l.
- What mileage does the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Diesel MT really return?
- 2 independent publishers have measured it at around 15 to 15.5 km/l. The certified figure is 20.6 km/l, so plan your running costs on the measured range rather than on that.
- What features does the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Diesel MT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Headlamps (Bi-LED projector), Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, Cruise control, Touchscreen (10.25"), Wired CarPlay / Android Auto and Speakers (4).
- What does the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Diesel MT miss out on?
- The MX3 Pro above it adds single-pane sunroof, for ₹81,000 less. That is the cheapest way into the MX3 Pro though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹54,000 more.
- 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 version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
