Mahindra XUV 3XO EV: Full Features, Specifications & Price (2026)
The XUV 3XO EV was launched on 6 January 2026 at Rs 13.89 lakh, bringing battery power to a nameplate that has already sold close to 1.8 lakh units in its petrol and diesel forms. In this post, we cover every important feature, spec and price detail, so you know exactly what you are getting before you book one.
Quick Note
The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV is priced from Rs 13.89 lakh to Rs 14.96 lakh (ex-showroom), across two variants, AX5 and AX7L. It gets a 39.4 kWh battery with a real world range of up to 285 km, a 110 kW (150 PS) motor with 310 Nm torque, and a 0-100 km/h time of 8.3 seconds. DC fast charging takes it from 0-80% in 50 minutes. The top AX7L variant adds Level 2 ADAS, a panoramic Skyroof, a 360-degree camera and a Harman Kardon sound system. Deliveries began on 23 February 2026.
Mahindra XUV 3XO EV
The XUV 3XO, first launched in April 2024, became one of Mahindra’s most successful SUVs, known for its feature-rich cabin and value pricing in the subcompact SUV segment. With the XUV 3XO EV, Mahindra has brought electric power to one of its most successful SUVs, targeting buyers who want instant performance, everyday practicality and a feature-rich electric SUV for regular commuting.
It keeps the design language and cabin layout of the regular XUV 3XO, so it should feel familiar to anyone who has already seen or driven the ICE version, but swaps the engine for a battery and electric motor, along with a few EV-specific tech additions.
Price (Ex-Showroom)
The XUV 3XO EV is offered in two variants:
| Variant | Ex-Showroom Price |
| AX5 | Rs 13.89 lakh |
| AX7L | Rs 14.96 lakh |
The gap between the two variants is about Rs 1.07 lakh, and it buys you Level 2 ADAS, the panoramic Skyroof, a premium Harman Kardon audio system and a few other comfort and safety additions, which we cover in detail below.
The AX5 comes with a 3.3 kW/16A wall-mounted charging unit as standard. If you want faster home charging, Mahindra also offers an optional 7.2 kW wall charger for an additional Rs 50,000. Keep in mind that the on-road price, which includes RTO registration, insurance and other charges, will be higher than the ex-showroom figure. It is best to check with your nearest Mahindra dealership for the exact on-road price in your city, since EV-related state subsidies can also affect the final amount.
Battery, Motor & Performance
The XUV 3XO EV runs on a 39.4 kWh battery pack paired with a front-mounted electric motor producing 110 kW (150 PS) and 310 Nm of torque. Mahindra claims a 0-100 km/h time of 8.3 seconds, which it says makes the XUV 3XO EV the quickest in its segment.
Power goes to the front wheels only (FWD), and the SUV comes with Single Pedal Drive, letting you accelerate and slow down mostly using just the accelerator pedal. There are also three selectable drive modes, Fun, Fast and Fearless, which change how the motor responds to throttle input.
On the chassis side, the XUV 3XO EV uses Frequency Dependent Damping (FDD) suspension along with MTV-CL technology (Multi-tunable Valve with Concentric Land), both aimed at improving ride comfort without compromising handling. Steering is through an Electronic Power Steering (EPS) setup, with a Macpherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes at all four corners.
Dimensions & Boot Space
| Specification | Value |
| Length x Width x Height | 3990 x 1821 x 1653 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2600 mm |
| Ground clearance (unladen) | Min 190 mm (as per IS:9435) |
| Turning circle diameter | 10.6 m |
| Boot volume | 364 litres |
| Seating | 5-seater |
The XUV 3XO EV shares its footprint with the standard XUV 3XO, so cabin space and boot volume stay familiar if you have already checked out the ICE version.
Range Explained
Mahindra quotes three different range figures for the XUV 3XO EV, and it helps to understand what each one means:
- Real-world range: up to 285 km (with AC on, depending on driving conditions) — this is closest to what you can expect in actual daily driving conditions
- MIDC range (P1 + P2): 351 km — this is the official combined test cycle figure used for certification
- MIDC range (P1 only): 456 km — this is a specific part of the test cycle run under lighter conditions, and tends to be higher than what you will see on the road
For practical purposes, the 285 km real world figure is the most useful number if you are trying to plan your charging around daily commutes. Mahindra itself notes that actual range will vary based on driving conditions, so city traffic, AC use and driving style will all affect the numbers you actually get.
Charging Options & Time
| Charging Type | Charger | Time |
| DC Fast Charging | 50 kW DC charger | 0-80% in 50 minutes |
| AC Charging | 7.2 kW charger | 0-100% in 6.5 hours |
| Portable AC Charging | 13A, up to 3.0 kW (household 3-pin socket) | Slowest option, for emergency top-ups |
The XUV 3XO EV uses the CCS Type II charging standard, which is the norm for most public fast chargers in India. For daily use, most owners will likely rely on the 7.2 kW AC charger at home or work, topping up overnight, and use DC fast charging only for longer trips or when they need a quick top-up. The bundled portable charger is a 13A unit good for up to 3.0 kW, and it plugs into a compatible 3-pin 16A household socket, so it is more of a backup option than a primary charging method.
Interior, Comfort & Tech Features
The cabin of the XUV 3XO EV carries over much of what made the standard XUV 3XO popular, with a few EV-specific additions.
The AX7L gets Mahindra’s panoramic Skyroof, while the AX5 comes with a single-pane electric sunroof. Apart from that, both variants get dual-zone automatic climate control, and twin 10.25-inch displays for the infotainment and driver cluster. Both variants also get a leatherette-wrapped steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver seat, a front central armrest with storage, and a 60:40 split rear seat with a rear armrest and cup holder. Leatherette seats are reserved for the AX7L, with the AX5 getting fabric upholstery.
The Adrenox connected car platform comes with over 80 connected features and a built-in Alexa voice assistant. Owners can remotely control functions such as climate control, door locking and vehicle start/stop, while features like live tracking, Journey Planner, Find My Car, Charge Assist and charging history make day-to-day EV ownership more convenient. The system also gets FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) updates, so new features can be added without a visit to the service centre.
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come as standard on both variants, along with online navigation. For audio, the AX5 gets a 6-speaker system with steering-mounted controls, while the AX7L steps up to a 7-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Audio system with an amplifier, subwoofer and Dolby Atmos support.
Other convenience features include a wireless phone charger, front and rear USB charging ports (with 65W USB-C fast charging on the AX7L), passive keyless entry, push-button start, cruise control, auto headlamps, auto rain-sensing wipers, electrically foldable ORVMs, a rear defogger, rear AC vents, and an Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold. The AX7L adds a cooled glove box with illumination, an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, and an illuminated sun visor with a vanity mirror for the co-driver.
Exterior & Colour Options
The XUV 3XO EV is available in six exterior colours: Deep Forest, Tango Red, Galaxy Grey, Everest White, Nebula Blue and Stealth Black.
It features LED projector headlamps, LED DRLs integrated with front turn indicators, and an Infinity LED tail lamp design at the rear, along with roof rails and a rear spoiler on both variants. The AX5 rides on 16-inch diamond cut alloy wheels, while the AX7L gets larger 17-inch diamond cut alloys along with LED front fog lamps.
Safety Features, Including ADAS
The XUV 3XO EV comes with 35 standard safety features overall. Both variants get 6 airbags, disc brakes on all four wheels, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The Adrenox connected platform also includes emergency assistance features such as E-Call, an SOS button and Roadside Assistance.
The AX7L variant is where things get more advanced, with a full Level 2 ADAS suite that includes:
- Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Keep Assist
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Forward Collision Warning
- Auto Emergency Braking (Vehicle)
- Auto Emergency Braking (Pedestrian and Cyclist)
- High Beam Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control with stop and go
- Smart Pilot Assist
Along with ADAS, the AX7L also gets a 360-degree Surround View System with Blind View Monitor and a Front Parking Assist System, both of which help with low-speed manoeuvring and parking in tight city spaces.
It is worth remembering that ADAS features are meant to assist the driver, not replace attentive driving. You should always stay alert and follow traffic rules, regardless of how advanced the safety tech in your car is.
AX5 vs AX7L: Key Differences
If you are trying to decide between the two variants, here is a quick summary of what the AX7L adds over the AX5:
| Feature | AX5 | AX7L |
| Sunroof | Single-pane sunroof | Panoramic Skyroof |
| Wheels | R16 Diamond Cut Alloys | R17 Diamond Cut Alloys |
| ADAS | Not available | Level 2 ADAS (full suite) |
| Camera | Rear view camera only | 360-degree Surround View with Blind View Monitor |
| Audio | 6-speaker system | 7-speaker Harman Kardon with Dolby Atmos |
| Seats | Fabric | Leatherette |
| Dashboard & door trims | Standard | Soft-touch leatherette on dashboard & door trims |
| Fog lamps | Not available | LED front fog lamps |
| USB charging | Standard | 65W USB-C fast charging |
| Parking assist | Not available | Front Parking Assist System |
If safety tech and premium comfort features matter to you, the AX7L is worth the extra Rs 1.07 lakh. If you mainly want an EV for city commuting and are fine with a slightly simpler feature set, the AX5 covers most of the essentials.
Warranty
Mahindra backs the XUV 3XO EV with an 8-year or 1,60,000 km warranty on the battery pack and motor, whichever comes first. The vehicle itself gets a 3-year warranty with unlimited kilometres, again whichever comes first, in line with Mahindra’s standard SUV warranty terms.
Conclusion
The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV combines brisk performance, practical real-world range and one of the strongest feature lists in its class. With Level 2 ADAS, a premium cabin and fast charging, it is a compelling choice for buyers looking to switch from an ICE SUV to an electric one without giving up comfort or technology.
With a real world range of up to 285 km, quick charging, and a really long feature list on the AX7L variant, it is a strong option for anyone looking to make the switch to an EV for daily city driving. As always, we recommend a test drive at your nearest Mahindra dealership before making a final decision.
