Mahindra XUV 3XO: Engine Options and Mileage
The new XUV 3X0 is available with three powertrain options which include a 1.2-litre turbo petrol, a 1.2-litre direct injection turbo petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel unit. While the XUV 3XO's petrol variants provide almost similar fuel efficiency to its rivals.

Below, you can check how Mahindra XUV 3XO performs in terms of fuel efficiency against its rivals.
| Powertrain | XUV 3XO | Sonet | Tata Nexon |
| Petrol manual | 18.99 kmpl (111 bhp) 20.1 kmpl (131 bhp) | 18.83 kmpl (NA) 18.7 kmpl (Turbo and iMT) | 17.44 kmpl |
| Petrol Automatic | 17.96 kmpl (111 bhp) 18.2 kmpl (131 bhp) | 19.2 Kmpl (Turbo) (Winner) | 17.18 kmpl (AMT) 17.01 kmpl (DCT) |
| Diesel Manual | 20.6 kmpl | 22.3 kmpl (iMT) | 23.23 kmpl (Winner) |
| Diesel Automatic | 21.02 kmpl | 18.6 kmpl | 24.08 kmpl (Winner) |
As you see above, the 1.5-litre diesel provides the best fuel economy in the lineup. You get an ARAI mileage of 21.2 kmpl with the AMT version while the manual variant returns a claimed 20.06 kmpl mileage. On the other hand, the Nexon with a 1.5-litre diesel AT powertrain emerges as a winner in terms of fuel efficiency with a claimed mileage of 24.08 kmpl. So if your choice is Mahindra XUV 3XO and you want to get the best fuel economy, just go for the diesel variant whether automatic or manual.
Verdict
The Mahindra XUV 3XO enters the competitive compact SUV arena with updated features and design, offering a compelling choice in its segment. While petrol variants align closely with rivals like Kia Sonet, opting for the diesel variant, whether manual or automatic, ensures superior fuel efficiency, making it a prudent choice for economy-conscious buyers.
