Mahindra XUV300

Entry level Mahindra XUV 3XO seems like a better buy and car than the Cherry Tiggo 4 Pro entry level?

That is if the XUV 3XO can achieve the same safety rating as the Mahindra XUV300 , and it probably would. 5 stars.

Mahindra v Chery in this case? Build quality etc?
 
Mahindra XUV 3XO aims to be a disruptive force in SA's compact SUV market

For a so-called budget car the 3XO is well specced with safety features that include a 360-degree surround view system with Blind View Monitor, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with hill hold control and hill descent control, six airbags, three-point seat belts and seat-belt reminder for all seats and ISOFIX child seats.

Mahindra has continued to improve its offering across the range and the 3XO is testament to that with quality materials, decent handling and ample safety features and if I was in the market I’d have a close look at the MX3 Auto.

For the full list of variations and specification levels go to mahindra.co.za.

It comes with a five-year/150 000km warranty while the MX derivatives have a three-year/55 000km service plan and the AX versions have a five-year/100 000km service plan.

Mahindra XUV 3XO off to strong start in SA

The freshly launched Mahindra XUV 3XO enjoyed a strong October 2024, cracking the list of SA’s 20 best-selling passenger vehicles in its first month on sale…

In October 2024, Mahindra South Africa registered its best sales total in more than a year and a half, thanks in part to the freshly launched XUV 3XO. Yes, the Indian brand sold a total of 1 421 units in Mzansi last month, falling just short of cracking the list of SA’s top 10 best-selling automakers.

The XUV 3XO – which recently hit the market as a thoroughly updated version of the XUV300 – ended October 2024 on a healthy 592 units (all registered via the dealer channel), thus accounting for a considerable 87.7% of Mahindra’s passenger-vehicle sales for the month.

That meant the small crossover snuck onto the list of South Africa’s 20 best-selling passenger vehicles in October, slotting in just behind the locally produced Toyota Corolla Quest (603 units) and keeping the new Hyundai Exter (544 units) off the table.

The XUV 3XO was Mahindra’s 2nd-best-selling product for the month, beaten only by the KwaZulu-Natal-assembled Pik Up (709 units), which placed 4th on the list of SA’s best-selling bakkies in October 2024.
