Mahindra XUV 3XO is here to take on the Tata Nexon | turbo-petrol compact SUV comparo | @evoIndia

You've already seen us conduct an in-depth comparison between the Mahindra 3XO and the Tata Nexon diesel variants, where we explored their engines, interiors, features, ride quality, and handling. Now, we're back with a comparison test between the turbo-petrol variants of the Tata Nexon and the Mahindra 3XO.

In terms of power, the Mahindra 3XO is equipped with a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder turbo-petrol engine producing 129 bhp and 230 Nm. Meanwhile, the Tata Nexon also has a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, but it generates 118 bhp and 170 Nm.

In this test, we drive both SUVs to determine which one offers better driving performance, ride comfort, and handling. But first, since we love the thrill of driving, we conducted a drag race to see which compact SUV is faster.

Is the turbo-petrol Mahindra 3XO better than the Tata Nexon? Watch the video to find out!

Which one would you pick? The Tata Nexon or Mahindra 3XO?

[m]

I have 3XO Diesel MT, its a pure bliss to drive on highway. What a beast.

[dr.prabin]

I hv nexon creative plus s…unless u r performance oriented..nexon does the daily city job pretty well…cabin noise is very less…good engine performance n sound system😍😍😍😍

[sathyaki]

What's wrong with people who call 3xo ugly? Yeah, Nexon is better looking but 3xo isn't bad.

[subhamsekhar]

Compared to quality control it is Mahindra that has the edge over Tata.

[PeakyBlinder]

Tata engine and transmission combo sucks!!! Mahindra is light years ahead of them in this case

[IOSARBX]

evo India, you're making YouTube a better place

[umeshbhat]

Driving MX1 since 1month now, 810km done, city 12to14kmpl, highway 18to20kmpl

[thewarlord]

Engine clutch and gearbox that's where Mahindra destroys Nexon and no suger coating can hide it. Yes nexon has better design but thats that! For a car enthusiast engine comes first

[arunkottolli]

Mahindra 3X0 for performance and highway use and Nexon for City use

[Bryan-vj]

Ive tested both cars and Nexon was my pick
Reasons: nexon is family oriented car overall better luggage carrying plus comfort, mileage is better in Nexon and 3xo is for those people who wants performance and regarding service centre both are lacking compare to japanese brands but still it depends from area to area

[beastislive]

Nice one evo is my preference, THE ONLY REASON IS: 3X0 doesn't suits my taste in terms of looks on the other hand Nexon looks faar better(in terms of design)....Baki Mahindra is knows for there driving experience

[Krieky]

Mahindra needs to fire the people who designed this car. It doesnt matter how great the car is if it looks like that. One look at that at the dealer showroom and I would walk out right away.
That was a thoroughly well done review. Thank you!

[Diptentu]

Rocking that casioak man!!! What a feeling❤️

[saikrishna]

3xo grey color looks much better then this yellow or red colour

[sanjadhrahman]

I think with the next update Nexon will take the lead again

[Adv-gokulms]

Looks, utility, and comfort Nexon. Definitely 3XO is a good car with a good engine and transmission; still overall a better choice Nexon.

[IOSARBX]

evo India, great content keep it up bro

[mangeshbhalerao]

Absolutely engaging and informative video. Got all the info I needed for both the vehicles. Thank you. Will 3XO be a sensible upgrade for my 9 year old Polo GT TSI?

[ThePunisher]

Test drove both in manuals.The only downside of nexon for me was the driving dynamics. I mean what was i driving? Felt lika n i20 or an i10. The gearshift is less smooth and the car pickup is slow as shit. Had to go with the mahindra.
