How many Mahindra XUV 3XO variants are there, and what do they cost?

23 variants across 9 trims, from ₹7.79L for the MX1 Turbo Petrol MT to ₹15.04L for the AX7 L Turbo Petrol AT, ex-showroom Delhi.

Which Mahindra XUV 3XO is the base model, and what does it cost?

The MX1, from ₹7.79L ex-showroom Delhi, is where the XUV 3XO range starts. Kit you get even here: 6 airbags and ESC. What you give up against the top AX7 L: no ADAS, no 360° camera and no blind spot monitor, and 33 more.

Which Mahindra XUV 3XO is the top model, and what does it cost?

The AX7 L tops the range at ₹13.32L to ₹15.04L ex-showroom Delhi. Over the base MX1 it adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor, and 33 more.

Which Mahindra XUV 3XO variant gives the most for the money?

Moving up to AX5 costs ₹79,000 over MX3 Pro, and no other variant you pay extra for buys more per rupee on the price list: tyre pressure monitor, rear parking camera, SOS call and wheel type (Alloy against Steel), and 13 more.

Is the AX7 L worth it?

It is the only step above the best-value one we can price on its kit alone: ₹1.12L over AX7 for 360° camera, blind spot monitor and level 2 (core suite) ADAS. Worth it if you specifically want that kit, hard to justify otherwise.

Which Mahindra XUV 3XO variant has 6 airbags?

Every XUV 3XO has 6 airbags, including the base MX1, so there is no need to move up the range for them.

Which Mahindra XUV 3XO variant has the full safety kit?

AX7 L, from ₹13.32L, is the cheapest trim carrying every safety feature the XUV 3XO offers at its best level. Anything above it repeats that kit rather than improving on it.

What is the cheapest automatic Mahindra XUV 3XO?

The MX3 Turbo Petrol AT, at ₹10.85L ex-showroom Delhi.

Which Mahindra XUV 3XO variant should you buy?

Rupee for rupee the ladder pays best at AX5: ₹79,000 more than MX3 Pro, and no variant you pay extra for hands back more kit per rupee on the price list.

23 variants9 trims₹7.79L to ₹15.04L ex-showroom Delhi

Above that, the only upgrade left we can price on its kit alone is AX7 L, at ₹1.12L over AX7. Take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.

One more upgrade above the best-value step is left out of that ranking, because it changes the engine or the gearbox too and its price is not the price of its kit.

How this is worked out

Every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.

Why some steps are not ranked

Not every variant here is a straight upgrade. One hands back more equipment than it adds, so it is shown in full but left out of the value ranking rather than dressed up as a step up.

What the road does to this ranking

Where you register can change which step is the best buy here. MX3 Pro to AX5 asks the least money for each point of kit it hands over on the price list, but in 2 of the 25 states we can price this ladder in, road tax puts MX2 Pro to MX3 ahead of it: in the state where that gap is widest, the badge asks 9.1 percent more for each point of kit.

Which states, and by how much

Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.

Take the badged step, MX3 Pro to AX5: ₹79,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹85,715 to ₹1,51,070 on the road. Punjab comes out lowest, and Tamil Nadu comes out highest, across the 25 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.

MX2 Pro to MX3 comes out ahead in Tamil Nadu and Telangana. Where that gap is widest, even the best badged step asks 9.1 percent more for each point of kit it hands over.

Just one state's rates will ever apply to you, so treat this as a reason to price the ladder where you actually live rather than as a reason to change your mind about the car. Comprehensive cover sits on top of every figure here and is inside none of them.

Where the kit that matters lands

Airbags: All 6 are standard from the base MX1, so nobody has to spend up for them.
Safety kit: AX7 L, from ₹13.32L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best.; The good news
Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.
Cheapest automatic: MX3 Turbo Petrol AT, ₹10.85L

Then there is the engine

Picking the trim is only half of it. The XUV 3XO is sold with 3 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.

Engine	Cheapest way in	Gearbox	Official figure
Turbo Petrol111 PS	MX1₹7.79L	6-speed manual	18.9 km/l
Diesel117 PS	MX2₹9.36L	6-speed manual	20.6 km/l
