1. Panoramic Sunroof
Being a segment first, this is something that the Mahindra XUV 3XO will have over every existing rival in the segment, including the Hyundai Venue. However, this may not last long as there are spy images of Tata Nexon with a panoramic sunroof which is expected to be introduced soon.
2. Fully Digital Instrument Cluster
Advanced technology once reserved for luxury vehicles is now becoming more commonplace in mass-market offerings. A prime illustration of this trend is the digital driver's display, which is now available with the XUV 3XO, stands out with its inclusion of a 10.25-inch display, distinguishing it from the Hyundai Venue, which still offers a semi-digital instrument cluster.
3. Dual-Zone Climate Control
This again being a segment-first, will enjoy the exclusivity in this segment with the 3XO only. Meanwhile, Venue offers regular automatic climate control for the entire cabin. However, we expect the updates within the segment to include this in future launches.
4. Bigger Touchscreen
Pushing past the Venue even further, the Mahindra XUV 3XO offers a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with connected car features. Hyundai Venue, on the flip side, gets a tinier 8-inch display, which in current times, feels a bit of a haircut that could have been avoided.

Verdict
Given the demand for small urban cars and improving EV infrastructure, there is good scope for new models under the Rs 10 lakh bracket. The Leapmotor T03 might not be the most striking EV, but it ticks all the right boxes as a solution for urban mobility.
