But on highways, the firmness means great stability. Mileage is as expected.
The turbo petrol is quick. 0 to 100 in under 10 seconds is quite fun for a car of this size. Good build quality and good high-speed dynamics. A true all-rounder!

Dropped one point in Safety as the GNCAP rating is still a question mark for the current model, but 6 airbags is good. Rear seat is best for two adults, not three, as asked by people. Overall awesome car.

Consistent 21-22 kmpl on highway runs with AC. Cannot ask for more. The music system is crisp. It has enough space for our weekend luggage. A solid, reliable car for daily use.
The steering is very precise. Feels easy to drive in the city. Rear parking sensors and camera are clear. I like the small details like the air purifier. My Sonet is a joy to own.

Perfect for the family outing
The Mahindra XUV 3XO offers excellent features and a premium feel in this segment. The cabin is comfortable, the infotainment system is smooth, and the driving experience is very good. The suspension handles rough roads well and the car feels stable even during rains. Safety features and overall design make it a strong value-for-money option for daily city driving and highway trips.

Good car with small flaws
The 6 speed automatic gearbox is smooth, but fuel efficiency drops down significantly to 11 kmpl when driven with a heavy right foot in sportier manner. Ride comfort over speed bumps remains decent.

Stylish Interiors
The all-black theme is so much better than the beige interiors in other cars. It looks sporty and doesn't get dirty easily. The quality is top notch.
