Mahindra XUV 3XO fuel efficiency compared with rivals

The Mahindra XUV 3XO's 1.5-litre diesel is its most fuel efficient engine option, returning an ARAI-certified mileage of 21.2kpl when had with the AMT gearbox and 20.06kpl with manual. However, Tata Nexon’s 1.5-litre diesel AT's 24.08kpl fuel efficiency figure makes it the most fuel efficient SUV in this comparison.

Meanwhile the Maruti Suzuki Fronx boasts the highest mileage figure (22.89kpl) for a petrol compact SUV. The Fronx-based Toyota Taisor has a marginally lower fuel efficiency figure of 22.8kpl for the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine with the manual gearbox, however, the figure is yet to be certified by ARAI.

Moreover, the Taisor, Fronx and Brezza are currently the only three SUVs in this comparison to also offer a factory-fit CNG kit. You can find out the fuel efficiency figures of the three CNG SUVs here.
