“I recently drove my friend’s Mahindra XUV 3XO MX1 in Chennai and was pleasantly surprised. For a base model, the 1.2L Turbo Petrol engine feels incredibly punchy; the 200Nm of torque gives it a ‘rocket-like’ pickup that makes city overtakes effortless.
What I Liked:
Ride Quality: The suspension is top-notch. It glides over Chennai’s potholes and feels very planted at high speeds.
Safety: You get 6 airbags and disc brakes on all four wheels even in this starting trim, which is a huge confidence booster.
Cabin Space: The legroom is the best in its class. Three adults can actually sit in the back without feeling squeezed.
What Could Be Better:
Features: Being the MX1, it lacks an infotainment system and a reverse camera. My friend had to add these aftermarket.
Boot Space: While improved at 295L, it’s still smaller than rivals like the Nexon.
Clutch: The clutch travel felt a bit long, which can be tiring in heavy traffic.
Overall, if you prioritize safety and engine performance over ‘bling’ features, the MX1 is a fantastic value-for-money choice.”
