Level 2 ADAS
The all-new Mahindra XUV 3XO comes with Level 2 ADAS which is a segment-first and hits the ball out out of the park.

Segment First Panoramic Sunroof
Moving over the single-pane units, the XUV 3XO goes a length forward to offer another segment first, a panoramic sunroof which is a commendable addition to the segment. However, this might be a short-lived badge to donn as recent spy shots have revealed the Tata Nexon with a panoramic sunroof which could be introduced in a mid-cycle update.

XUV300 offered this feature and the XUV 3XO continues to offer this unique feature of steering modes.

This is something that even higher segment cars do not offer.
First In-Segment Electronic Parking Brake
Another segment's first feature is the electronic parking brake with auto hold feature. Other rivals still offer the connections mechanical lever for this function. This uplifts the overall appeal inside the cabin and adds that premium touch.
Fully Digital Instrument Cluster
The instrument console is now a fully digital 10.25-inch unit that displays all the essential drive-related stats like speed, distance, fuel, rpm, and others. Interestingly, the central zone tuns to a camera screen for the blind-spot monitoring to caution the driver about the oncoming traffic.

Blind Spot Monitor
Using the cameras housed beneath the ORVMs, the central part of the digital instrument console doubles up as a camera screen for alerting the driver about the traffic coming towards them which happens to be at the blind spots of the driver. This reinforces the safety even further by helping to avoid unfortunate situations.
Bezel-Less Auto Dimming IRVM
Earlier found in the more premium segments, the Mahindra XUV 3XO offers bezel-less auto-dimming IRVM. While this is nothing uncommon, it is just that it looks more premium and was actually not being offered in most of the cars. Other than that, other models in the segment do offer a regular auto-dimming IRVM.
Verdict
