Petrol XUV 3XO MX2 (pictured) and MX2 Pro variants have wait times of 7-8 months.

Sales of the Mahindra XUV 3XO are definitely higher than those of its predecessor, the XUV300. In its best fiscal, FY2023, the pre-facelift compact SUV recorded an average monthly sales of just over 5,000 units, while in the last six months, the XUV 3XO averaged over 8,400 units per month. Incidentally, this also means waiting periods for Mahindra’s answer to the Tata Nexon and Hyundai Venue have increased significantly. Delivery times depend on the variant selected, so without further ado, here’s how long you can expect to wait for your new Mahindra XUV 3XO if it's booked today.

Entry-level XUV 3XO MX1 has the longest waiting period
Deliveries of mid-spec XUV 3XO AX5 petrol to take up to 8 months
Nearly all diesel variants have waiting periods of about 1 month

Mahindra XUV 3XO variant-wise waiting periods
Trim	Petrol	Diesel
MX1	1 year	-
MX2/MX2 Pro	7-8 months	1 month
MX3/MX3 Pro	6-7 months	1 month
AX5	8 months	1 month
AX5 L	2-3 months	-
AX7	2 months	1 month
AX7 L	2 months	1 month

Compared to last month, the wait times have increased significantly. The table above shows that the entry-level MX1 petrol has the longest delivery times, partially because Mahindra produces fewer units of this variant. The petrol-powered lower-spec MX2 and MX3 Pro variants have waiting periods of up to 7-8 months and 6-7 months, respectively, while delivery times for the mid-spec AX5 and AX5 L petrol stretch to 8 months and 2-3 months, respectively. Meanwhile, customers will have to wait just about 2 months for delivery of their top-spec AX7 and AX7 L petrol variants.

Demand for the diesel variants is lower than for the petrol ones, which accounts for the shorter wait times. In fact, for most diesel variants, the waiting period is just 1 month. Do note that the waiting periods mentioned here are gearbox-agnostic. For more details, contact your local dealership.

The XUV 3XO comes with two turbo-petrol and one diesel engine option – a 111hp, 1.2-litre petrol, a 131hp, 1.2-litre direct injection petrol, and a 117hp, 1.5-litre diesel. The two petrols get a 6-speed torque convertor automatic gearbox option, while the diesel has a 6-speed AMT option. With prices ranging between Rs 7.99 lakh and 15.49 lakh, the XUV 3XO is among the best-equipped compact SUVs, boasting features such as dual-zone climate control, Level 2 ADAS tech, and a panoramic sunroof.
