Mahindra expands XUV 3XO range with REVX variants

Mahindra has reinforced its presence in the competitive C-segment SUV space with the introduction of three new petrol variants under the 'REVX' nomenclature — the REVX M, REVX M(O), and the REVX A. These additions to the XUV 3XO range aim to bridge the gap between entry-level and higher-spec variants by offering a more feature-rich proposition at accessible price points.
Positioning is key here. The REVX M and M(O) have been slotted between the MX2 and MX2 Pro trims, while the REVX A finds itself just below the AX5 L, effectively expanding the product band with minimal overlap. The strategy is clear: create finely-segmented options that respond to diverse buyer expectations — from value-driven essentials to performance-oriented sophistication.
Powertrain options remain consistent with Mahindra's modular approach. The REVX M and M(O) are equipped with the 1.2-litre mStallion TCMPFi engine, producing 82 kW (110 bhp) and 200 Nm of torque. Tuned for smooth, linear delivery, it is well-suited for urban commutes and occasional intercity travel. The REVX A, however, makes a notable leap with the more advanced 1.2-litre mStallion TGDi powerplant, delivering 96 kW (130 bhp) and 230 Nm of torque. This engine, offered with both manual and automatic transmissions, transforms the 3XO into a far more responsive and refined vehicle — a distinction that will not go unnoticed by discerning drivers.
Design and visual identity also receive meaningful upgrades. The REVX A stands apart with a distinctive body-coloured gunmetal grille, gloss-black R16 alloy wheels, a contrasting dual-tone roof, and subtle 'REVX' branding on the C-pillar — touches that lend it a premium, more individualistic character. ORVM-integrated turn indicators and Bi-LED projector headlamps further elevate both its safety credentials and road presence.
Meanwhile, the REVX M and M(O) maintain visual consistency across the range. While they ride on steel wheels with black covers, both variants receive LED DRLs running across the fascia, a dual-tone roof, and the same body-coloured grille — a thoughtful approach that avoids a stripped-down aesthetic even in the lower trims.
Inside, Mahindra has ensured that material quality and in-cabin technology remain competitive. The REVX A offers black leatherette upholstery, a dual-tone cabin theme, and twin 26.03 cm HD screens — one serving infotainment duties and the other as a digital driver's display. The Adrenox Connect system is standard on this trim, bringing with it a suite of connected features, including built-in Alexa, online navigation, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay — aligning the 3XO with modern user's expectations in the segment.
Despite their more accessible positioning, the REVX M and M(O) are not spartan. The REVX M features leatherette seating, a touchscreen infotainment system, steering-mounted controls, and a 4-speaker audio setup. A single-pane sunroof is offered on the M(O), while the A variant receives a panoramic sunroof as standard — further enhancing the sense of space and premium appeal. The base REVX M omits a sunroof entirely, but remains reasonably well-equipped.
Safety continues to be a strong point across the range. All three REVX variants are fitted with six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Hill Hold, and disc brakes on all four wheels — all as standard. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), however, remain the preserve of the higher AX trims, ensuring clear differentiation at the top of the hierarchy.
The XUV 3XO has already demonstrated its market potential with over 1,00,000 units sold within 11 months of launch. With the introduction of the REVX variants, Mahindra is sharpening the product's appeal by introducing a more nuanced value proposition — one that caters to varied customer priorities without undermining the brand's premium aspirations.
Ex-showroom pricing for the new REVX variants is — REVX M: ₹8.94 lakh, REVX M(O): ₹9.44 lakh and REVX A: Starting at ₹11.79 lakh.
