Battery and Motor
The 3XO EV shares its powertrain with the earlier XUV400. A 39.4 kWh battery feeds a permanent magnet synchronous motor that drives the front wheels. With 310 Nm available instantly, it feels quick in city traffic. Also, drivers can choose between three drive modes: Fun, Fast and Fearless. In addition, regenerative braking offers four levels (L0 to L3) plus an Auto setting, along with single-pedal driving.
Range: Claimed vs Real-World
On the MIDC test cycle, the 3XO EV is rated at 351 km per charge. However, Mahindra itself quotes a more practical figure of up to 285 km in real-world driving. Mahindra positions the 3XO EV mainly for urban and intra-city use. So, it suits daily commutes better than frequent long highway trips.
Charging Time
| Charger type | Charging time |
|---|---|
| 50 kW DC fast charger (0 to 80%) | About 50 minutes |
| 7.2 kW AC wall box (0 to 100%) | Around 6.5 hours |
| Household socket, up to 3 kW (0 to 100%) | 13 to 15 hours |
The 7.2 kW wall box is an optional accessory, costing about Rs 50,000 extra.
Dimensions and Practicality
| Dimension | Value |
|---|---|
| Width x Height | 1,821 x 1,653 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,600 mm |
| Ground clearance | 190 mm |
| Boot space | 364 litres |
| Seating capacity | 5 |
The 3XO EV measures just under 4 metres in length, which makes it easy to park in crowded cities. Despite its compact size, the 2,600 mm wheelbase frees up good rear-seat space.
Suspension, Wheels and Brakes
The 3XO EV uses a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam at the rear. Also, it gets disc brakes on all four wheels, which is a plus at this price. Depending on the variant, it rides on 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels. A 135/90 R16 space-saver spare comes included.
Warranty
The battery and motor are each covered for 8 years or 1.6 lakh km. Meanwhile, the standard vehicle warranty runs for 3 years. For more details, visit Mahindra’s official website.
