The Mahindra XUV 3XO base variant has now started reaching the dealerships across India. The variant is called MX1 and it is priced at ₹7.49 lakh (ex-showroom). With its introduction, the Mahindra XUV 3XO’s starting price fell significantly from ₹9.99 lakh, which is the ex-showroom of the MX2 Pro Petrol. As of now, the Mahindra XUV 3XO is available in nine distinct variants – MX1, MX2, MX2 Pro, MX3, MX3 Pro, AX5, AX5 Luxury, AX7, and AX7 Luxury.
