With a dip in sales in March and April, it is important to find the reasons for the slide. It is possible that Nexon’s own sibling, the Punch, could be responsible to some extent. Another factor could be the new Mahindra XUV 3XO that comes with multiple segment-first features. To improve competencies, Tata Motors is working to introduce some new updates for Nexon.
In a stunning display of consumer interest, Mahindra has reported record numbers in bookings for its latest offering, the Mahindra XUV 3XO. Within the first hour of bookings opening today at 10 a.m., the XUV 3XO has garnered an astonishing 50,000 bookings, setting a new benchmark in the Indian automotive industry.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO is the latest sub-4m SUV on the block, trying to find a spot in the rather crowded sub-4m SUV segment. While you can find out our first impressions and how it fares with its rivals in our first drive review, this article is all about its real-world performance.
The subcompact SUV market has been on fire with automakers constantly updating their vehicles to keep up with the ever evolving segment. Almost every brand today is trying to equip its cars with the latest tech and segment-leading features to improve brand recall. So, with the aim to provide the best feature-packed proposition, Mahindra has launched the XUV 3XO to compete in the subcompact SUV segment putting cars a segment above to shame. While there are plenty of offerings in this segment, the Tata Nexon stacks up neck-to-neck with the XUV 3XO. Here’s a list of six features which the Mahindra XUV 3XO gets over the Tata Nexon and three features it misses out on.
Kia is working on the facelifted version of its entry-level MPV, the Carens. The test mule of the three-row car was spied in its home country draped in thick camouflage. It is expected to debut in the Indian market in early 2025.
The passenger vehicle (PV) segment in India has seen an outstanding 15.94% YoY growth in April 2024 while MoM sales also improved by 3.96% to 3,35,123 units. Data as released by Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), shows that Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Tata continued their reign as 3 best-selling car brands in April 2024 with a combined market share of 68%.
Mahindra has started accepting bookings for the XUV 3XO (XUV300 facelift) a couple of weeks after its launch. The manufacturer says that deliveries will commence in the coming weeks.
Mahindra took the unconventional route by launching the car first followed by its bookings. Nevertheless, the official bookings of the recently launched XUV 3XO have commenced across the country with deliveries slated to begin from 26 May. One can book the Tata Nexon rival by either visiting the nearest Mahindra-authorised dealership or the brand’s online booking portal.
