Mahindra recently launched the updated XUV300, now named the XUV 3XO, in India. The SUV is priced between Rs 7.49 lakh and Rs 15.49 lakh (ex-showroom).

At the back, there are C-shaped LED tail lights connected by a full-width LED light bar, giving it a modern look.

Inside, the Mahindra XUV 3XO is also very different from the XUV300. People didn't like the XUV300’s interior much, but Mahindra has improved it. Now, it looks a lot like the all-electric XUV400 Pro.
