Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.16L more for the XUV 3XO EV AX7 L: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: connected car tech and dual-zone climate control. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The XUV 3XO EV is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Also on the XUV 3XO EV AX7 L: tyre pressure monitor, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), JBL system with Dolby Atmos and drive modes, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the XUV 3XO EV AX7 L, you give up touchscreen (14" against 10.25"), which the Hector Select Pro keeps
- Choose the MG Hector Select Pro if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.16L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV AX7 L if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
