Just keep the OEM speakers and refit them if the car ever has to go in for warranty repairs...

Though unless they need to work on the doors, how would they know . Now to find fitment centers, they don't seem to be as numerous as they were in the past.

Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG to debut on October 15 - Team-BHP​

Mahindra is set to unveil a CNG option for its popular XUV 3XO compact SUV, amidst the rising popularity of CNG-powered cars in India.

This would be the fourth powertrain variant for the 3XO, which already offers two turbo-petrols, one diesel, and an electric option.

The CNG variant is expected to arrive with the entry-level 1.2L mStallion TCMPFi turbo-petrol rather than the higher-spec direct injection motor to keep costs down.

Mahindra has a re-engineering job on its hands to accommodate the CNG tank without making the smallest boot in the segment any tinier, so it remains to be seen if they opt for a split setup à la Tata or go with an under-boot setup.

Rising fuel prices have led to increased popularity of CNG models, with several offerings in the compact car and entry-level MUV segments from multiple manufacturers, though the compact SUV segment has only seen it offered with the Tata Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Brezza so far.

The upcoming CAFE-3 norms in April 2027 are an added incentive for Mahindra, as its passenger vehicle portfolio is diesel-heavy and it will need to lean harder on powertrain diversification to meet stringent fleet emission norms.
