Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., India’s leading SUV manufacturer, has entered the subcompact electric SUV segment with the launch of the XUV 3XO EV, priced starting at ₹13.89 lakh (ex-showroom). The new electric offering is aimed at urban customers seeking a practical, feature-rich EV for everyday mobility.
The XUV 3XO EV is offered in two variants—AX5 and AX7L—and is powered by a 39.4 kWh battery pack, delivering a real-world driving range of up to 285 km. The electric SUV produces 110 kW of power and 310 Nm of torque, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, making it the quickest in its segment.
