The 3XO EV has a very bold and aggressive look. Mahindra has moved away from the “safe” designs of the past. The front is dominated by a closed-off grille (since EVs don’t need air for an engine) and long, drop-down LED daytime running lights that make the car look very wide. At the back, you get a beautiful “infinite” LED light bar that stretches across the trunk.
It has 190mm of ground clearance, which is excellent for Indian roads. You can drive over giant speed breakers or through water-logged streets during the monsoon without any stress. The 17-inch “aero” alloy wheels look fantastic and are specially designed to reduce wind resistance, which helps the battery last longer. While the design is very modern, some people might find the front a bit busy or “too much,” but it definitely doesn’t look boring.
The cabin feels like it belongs in a car from a higher segment. You get two massive 10.25-inch screens, one for your music and navigation, and a digital one for the driver. The dashboard uses soft-touch materials, and the fit and finish are much better than those of older Mahindras.
However, keep in mind the ivory-white interior. While it looks very premium and makes the cabin feel huge, it is quite hard to keep clean. If you have kids or often travel in dusty conditions, you will need to be careful. The seats are supportive, and there are plenty of storage spots for your phone, wallet, and water bottles.
Mahindra is famous for making “tank-like” cars, and the 3XO EV follows that tradition. The doors have a heavy, solid “thud” when you close them. It is built using high-strength steel, giving it a very sturdy feel. Unlike some lighter electric cars that feel a bit “flimsy,” the 3XO EV feels anchored and safe.
Mahindra has loaded the 3XO EV with features that are usually only found in luxury cars.
The only small miss is that ventilated seats are only available in the top-end variant, which we think should have been offered in more models given the Indian heat.
The 3XO EV is incredibly fast. It uses a 39.4 kWh battery pack and an electric motor that produces 150 PS and a massive 310 Nm of torque.
The moment you press the pedal, the car moves forward without any delay. It can go from 0 to 100 kmph in just 8.3 seconds, making it one of the quickest cars in its price range. It’s great for zipping through city traffic or making quick overtakes on the highway.
You get three driving modes:
The car has multiple levels of “regen.” This means when you lift your foot off the pedal, the motor acts like a generator and charges the battery. In heavy traffic, you can almost drive using just one pedal, which makes the commute much less tiring.
While the official range is over 450 km (MIDC), real-world numbers are more practical. In our testing, we got:
For most people who drive 40–50 km a day, you would only need to charge the car once a week.
The 3XO EV has a very “European” suspension feel. It uses Frequency Dependent Damping (FDD), which means the suspension adjusts based on the road.
The steering is light and easy to use in the city, which makes parking a breeze. One small complaint is that the turning circle is a bit wide, so you might need to be careful in very narrow U-turns.
Safety is Mahindra’s biggest strength. The 3XO EV is built to be one of the safest cars in India. The Mahindra 3XO ICE version has scored a 5-star rating at the Bharat NCAP crash testing, and we can expect the same for the EV version as well.
The 3XO EV is a genuine 5-seater.
You get the following charging options:
The charging options, especially the fast charging feels to be a bit limited and a higher capacity charger support can surely be added to reduce the time even further.
As for the warranty, Mahindra is offering an impressive 8 years / 1,60,000 kms warranty on the battery and motor. For the vehicle, there is a warranty of 3 years / unlimited kms.
Mahindra has a massive network of over 400+ authorized touchpoints, making it one of the most accessible for an EV in India. You’ll find dedicated “EV Service Bays” and specially trained technicians at most major dealerships to handle high-voltage repairs. They offer predictive and remote vehicle diagnostics through the Adrenox system to catch issues before they become major problems. Mahindra’s service is reliable and accessible, but you should expect a busy environment. Always book your service via the app well in advance to avoid the “fully booked” frustration!
