Kia Syros EV variants and features explained

Kia Syros EV variants explained

Kia has unveiled its second mass-market electric model for India in the form of the Syros EV. Though it shares its K1 platform with its ICE counterpart, it utilises the same battery packs found on the larger Carens Clavis EV. While prices are yet to be announced, they are expected to be in the Rs 15 lakh to 20 lakh range. At launch, it will take on the likes of the Tata Nexon EV, which currently dominates the segment, and the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV. In this article, we explain all the variants on offer, the colours, the standard safety kit, and the variant-wise features of the Syros EV.  

Kia Syros EV variant-wise battery pack options

Offered in seven variants across five trims

The Kia Syros EV offers a choice of 42kWh and 51.4kWh battery packs. While the base HTK trim solely offers a 42kWh option, the mid-level HTK+ and HTX trims additionally offer the larger 51.4kWh battery pack. Meanwhile, the higher-end HTX+ and X-Line trims are available only with the 51.4kWh battery pack.

Both battery packs are paired to a front-mounted motor, which develops 135hp and 171hp in 42kWh and 51.4kWh guises, respectively. In both versions, the motor produces an identical 255Nm of torque. Kia claims a 0-100kph time of 8.1 seconds in 51.4kWh guise. While the 42kWh battery pack gets an ARAI-claimed range of 443km, the 51.4kWh version’s claimed range is 526km.  Not only has Kia equipped the Syros EV with the largest battery pack in its segment (51.4kWh), but it also gets the most powerful motor and the highest claimed range figure in its class.

Both versions support up to 11 kW AC charging speeds, while DC charging support is up to 100kW. At 11kW AC speeds, a smaller 42kWh battery takes four hours to charge from 10-80 percent, while the 51.4kWh battery takes an additional 50 minutes. However, with a 100kW DC charger, both versions can charge from 10-80 percent in the same 39 minutes, claims Kia.

Kia Syros EV exterior and interior colours 

Nine options for the exterior, three for the interior

The Kia Syros EV is available only in nine monotone colour options. These include Ivory Silver Matte, Frost Blue, Gravity Grey, Pewter Olive, Magma Red, Ivory Silver Gloss, Aurora Black Pearl, Glacier White Pearl, and Xclusive Matte Graphite. Of these, the top X-Line trim is available solely in the Aurora Black Pearl and Xclusive Matte Graphite colours.

Inside, the Syros EV offers three interior and seat upholstery options depending on the chosen trim. HTK, HTK+ and HTX trims get blue and grey semi-leatherette seat upholstery and green accents throughout the interior, while the HTX+ trim gets black and white leatherette seat upholstery and white accents throughout the interior. The top X-Line trim comes with black and green leatherette seat upholstery with green accents across the interior.

Kia Syros EV standard safety kit 

Gets six airbags, electronic parking brake, hill start assist, TPMS, to name a few

As standard, the Kia Syros EV is equipped with six airbags, ABS, brake assist, ESC, stability control, hill-start assist, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), all-wheel disc brakes, electronic parking brake with auto hold, follow-me-home headlamps, virtual engine sound system, child lock, rear parking sensors, speed sensing door locks, impact sensing auto door unlock, 3-point seatbelts for all seats, ISOFIX anchors, rear occupant alert, front passenger airbag on/off switch, and rear occupant alert.

3 reasons to buy the Tata Nexon, and 2 reasons not to

Posted on by admin
tata nexon

The Tata Nexon first hit the Indian market in 2017, and even after nine years and two facelifts, the compact SUV regularly ranks in the upper echelons of the monthly sales charts. If you’re considering purchasing a Nexon, listed below are three of its most prominent strengths, and two areas where it falls short of rivals.

Pros

Diverse powertrain line-up

Buyers can choose between petrol, diesel, CNG, and electric options

One of the Nexon’s biggest trump cards is its wide array of powertrains on offer: petrol, diesel, CNG, and electric (Nexon EV). Petrol and CNG Nexon buyers get a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged engine– 120hp and 170Nm in petrol guise, while the CNG makes 100hp instead. The Nexon diesel is powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder mill that develops 115hp and 260Nm, whereas the EV offers 30kWh and 45kWh battery packs.

There’s quite a bit of gearbox choice too. The Nexon petrol alone can be had with one of four gearbox options: 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, 6-speed AMT, and 7-speed DCT. Diesel variants of the compact SUV offer either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed AMT, while the Nexon CNG gets a 6-speed manual only.

Comfortable ride quality

Can take virtually any broken road in its stride

As we noted in our 2023 Nexon review, the compact SUV rides very well on all types of roads. There’s a hint of stiffness in the ride at low speeds, but as you go faster, it immediately smoothes out. The Nexon rides flat despite its relatively tall 208mm ground clearance, and exhibits impressive body control and bump absorption over broken patches.

Feature-rich cabin

Highlights include dual 10.25-inch displays, panoramic sunroof, and 360-deg camera

Another aspect of the Nexon that struck a chord with Indian buyers is its extensive feature set. Depending on the variant, the Nexon packs goodies like a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a panoramic sunroof, an 8-speaker JBL sound system, ventilated front seats, ADAS, connected car tech, a cabin air purifier, auto-dimming IRVM, wireless charging pad, a 360-degree camera, automatic climate control, and more.

Cons

Interior ergonomics and quality could be better

No proper cupholders and distracting touch-capacitive controls

While the Nexon’s interior looks premium at first glance, a closer look reveals some foibles. First off, there are no proper cupholders in the Nexon’s cabin, which can be an annoyance at times. The driver’s seat doesn’t offer electrical adjustment either, and the seat ventilation button is concealed from view because it’s located at the base of the seat.

Tata has also used some gloss-black trim pieces for the Nexon’s interior, which are difficult to keep clean– they attract fingerprints and dust. Overall build quality is not that impressive too, and the touch-capacitive controls for the AC and steering can be fiddly to operate while on the move.

6-speed MT not that great

Long throws and snappy clutch

The 6-speed manual offered with the Nexon could do with some more tuning. While the gearbox’s gates are well-defined, its throws are long and the shift action isn’t the most pleasing. The snappy clutch also detracts from the smoothness of the driving experience.

कोलकाता से दिल्ली-बेंगलुरु तक सीधी प्रीमियम बस सेवा शुरू, जानें किराया और सुविधाएं

Posted on by admin

Kolkata Premium Bus Service: कोलकाता को चार बड़े भारतीय शहरों के लिए सीधी प्रीमियम कोच कनेक्टिविटी मिलने वाली है। News18 की एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, ‘श्यामली परिवहन’ बुधवार से दिल्ली, चेन्नई, बेंगलुरु और पुरी के लिए नई लंबी दूरी की बस सेवाएं शुरू कर रही है। इन रूटों का मकसद यात्रियों को ट्रेन और फ्लाइट के मुकाबले आरामदायक और सही कीमत वाला विकल्प देना है।

रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, पश्चिम बंगाल के ट्रांसपोर्ट मिनिस्टर अर्जुन सिंह करुणामयी बस टर्मिनस पर इस सर्विस का औपचारिक उद्घाटन करेंगे। चारों रूटों पर कोच रोजाना चलेंगे और हफ्ते भर नियमित रूप से रवाना होंगे।

रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, कोलकाता से दिल्ली जाने वाली बस सेवा में करीब 26 घंटे का समय लगेगा। इस रूट का किराया लगभग 2,500 रुपये से 3,000 रुपये के बीच होगा। वहीं, बेंगलुरु जाने वाली बस करीब 35 घंटे में सफर पूरा करेगी और इसका किराया प्रति यात्री 4,500 रुपये रखा गया है।

इसके अलावा, चेन्नई रूट पर यात्रियों को करीब 24 घंटे का सफर करना होगा, जिसके लिए किराया लगभग 4,700 रुपये होगा। जबकि, पुरी जाने वाली प्रीमियम वोल्वो बस सबसे तेज होगी, जो करीब 8 घंटे में सफर पूरा करेगी। इस रूट का किराया 1,500 रुपये से 2,000 रुपये के बीच होगा।

रिपोर्ट में यह भी बताया गया है कि यात्रियों को बायो-टॉयलेट, मुफ्त तकिए और बिस्तर की चादरें मिलेंगी, साथ ही हर सीट पर अलग-अलग एंटरटेनमेंट स्क्रीन भी होगी। यात्रियों को सफर के दौरान स्नैक्स, बोतल बंद पानी, चाय और कॉफी भी मुफ्त में दी जाएगी।

श्यामली परिवहन के मैनेजिंग डायरेक्टर अरुण घोष ने कहा कि इस सर्विस को हवाई यात्रा या फर्स्ट-क्लास AC ट्रेन कोच जैसी सुविधा देने के लिए डिजाइन किया गया है, जबकि इसका किराया AC थ्री-टियर रेल किराए के बराबर रखा गया है। उन्होंने कहा कि कोलकाता के यात्रियों की ओर से सस्ती और अच्छी क्वालिटी वाली लंबी दूरी की यात्रा की बढ़ती मांग को देखते हुए ये नए रूट शुरू किए गए हैं।

रिपोर्ट के अनुसार,  प्रीमियम कोच उन बिजनेस और घूमने-फिरने वाले यात्रियों को आकर्षित करेंगे जो शहर से पारंपरिक रेल और हवाई यात्रा के विकल्पों के बजाय सीधे और आरामदायक विकल्प की तलाश में हैं।

Nissan Tekton vs Hyundai Creta

The arrival of the Tekton has helped Nissan make a much-needed comeback to the popular mid-size SUV segment. On the other hand, Hyundai has championed this space with the Creta, which continues to lead sales. But which of the two SUVs offers better value when you compare their top-spec versions on paper? We find out. For this comparison, we’ve chosen the Tekna+ and King trims of the Tekton and Creta, respectively.

Explore full specs, features, and a price breakdown in our Tekton vs Creta comparison.

The only comparable variant between the Tekton and the Creta is their turbo-petrol automatic versions, where the Tekton is Rs 1.32 lakh cheaper. Between the newly launched Tekton and the reigning Creta, we recommend the former. Not only is the Tekton more affordable, especially when you consider turbo-petrol versions, but you also get more torque. While it does miss out on some feel-good features that the Creta gets, it’s not necessarily a deal-breaker. If your monthly usage consists mainly of highway runs, then the Creta diesel makes for a sensible choice.

Tata Sierra EV Empowered vs Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence LR: Which to buy?

Posted on by admin
Tata Sierra EV mid-spec vs Hyundai Creta EV top-spec comparison

Both the Tata Sierra EV and Hyundai Creta Electric are available with two battery pack options. However, the lower variants of the Creta Electric feature a smaller 42kWh battery pack, so we’ll be looking at the 51.4kWh version here – the Creta’s top-spec Excellence LR (Long Range) variant is only offered with the larger battery pack. However, the Sierra EV’s Empowered trim offers buyers more flexibility as it’s available in 63kWh and 75kWh guises. The Sierra EV Empowered is priced from Rs 22.79 lakh to Rs 23.79 lakh, while the Creta Electric’s top-spec Excellence LR costs Rs 23.67 lakh. Let’s find out which midsize electric SUV is right for you.

Explore full specs, features and a price breakdown in our Sierra EV and Creta Electric comparison.

The Sierra EV in Empowered trim is offered with 63kWh and 75kWh battery packs. Even with the smaller battery option, the Sierra EV’s claimed range is 56km more than the top-spec Creta Electric’s. Bumping up to the top-spec, rear-wheel drive (RWD) 75kWh version of the Sierra EV means a claimed range of 665km – that’s 155km more than the top-spec Creta Electric.

The smaller battery size and a slightly faster AC charging speed means that the Creta Electric can be charged from 10-100 percent in 7 hours and 15 minutes, which is over 3 hours less than what the Sierra EV with the 75kWh battery pack requires. Meanwhile, the Sierra EV with the 63kWh battery takes under 9 hours to achieve the same SoC (state of charge). Both cars support DC fast charging of over 100kW, with the Sierra EV’s claimed charging time being based on 120kW DC charging.

The Sierra EV’s single electric motor powers its rear wheels, while that of the Creta Electric powers its front. While the punchier 63kWh version of the Tata SUV makes 67hp more than its Hyundai EV rival, even its lower-output 75kWh version makes more power (38hp more than the Creta Electric). The Sierra EV also has the torque advantage, developing 60Nm more than its Hyundai rival. While Tata Motors hasn’t published the claimed 0-100kph time of the mid-spec Sierra EV, it’s likely to be brisk.

They also feature niceties like puddle lamps, welcome & good-bye light animations, and automatic LED headlamps. The Creta Electric sticks to conventional pull-type door handles, whilst the Tata SUV uses flush door handles. Hyundai offers dual-tone colour choices with the Creta Electric, but Tata Motors does not.

If you want more cabin & luggage space, longer range & faster performance plus conveniences like a powered tailgate, wireless smartphone connectivity, multiple voice assistants, plus V2V and V2L functions, then the Tata Sierra EV will be a suitable pick. In case you don’t need the additional range offered by the 75kWh version, you can save Rs 1 lakh and go for the 63kWh version instead –  it’s Rs 88,000 cheaper than the Creta Electric. However, prospective Sierra EV buyers should be aware of the inconsistencies in Tata’s service quality and vehicle fit & finish.

Renault Triber पर मिल रहा ₹60,000 तक का डिस्काउंट, बस इसी महीने रहेगा यह धांसू ऑफर, जानें कीमत और फीचर्स

Posted on by admin

Renault Triber: अगर आप नई कार खरीदने की सोच रहे हैं, तो यह खबर आपके लिए फायदेमंद साबित हो सकती है। दरअसल, Renault India अपने Triber MPV पर 60,000 रुपये तक की छूट दे रहा है। जो कि केवल इसी महीने तक लागू है। ये ऑफर राज्य, मॉडल ईयर, वेरिएंट और कस्टमर की पात्रता के आधार पर अलग-अलग हो सकते हैं। रेनॉ इंडिया की ऑफिशियल ऑफर लिस्ट के अनुसार, केरल में कस्टमर Triber पर कुल 60,000 रुपये तक का डिस्काउंट मिल सकता है, जबकि गुजरात में खरीदार 45,000 रुपये तक का लाभ उठा सकते हैं। ज्यादातर दूसरे राज्यों में, MY2026 मॉडल पर ज्यादा से ज्यादा फायदे 30,000 रुपये तक हैं।

इन ऑफर्स में 30,000 रुपये तक का कैश डिस्काउंट शामिल हो सकता है। इसके अलावा, ग्राहक को एक्सचेंज बोनस, स्क्रैपेज बोनस, लॉयल्टी बोनस, रेफरल और कॉरपोरेट बेनिफिट्स जैसे फायदे भी मिल सकते हैं। हालांकि, ये लाभ ग्राहक की पात्रता और लागू स्कीम पर निर्भर करेंगे।

रेनॉ ने ग्राहकों को सलाह दी है कि वे अपने शहर में लागू सही ऑफर के बारे में जानने के लिए अपने नजदीकी ऑथराइज्ड डीलर से संपर्क करें, क्योंकि ऑफर के फायदे अलग-अलग जगहों पर अलग-अलग हो सकते हैं और ये डीलर की भागीदारी और स्टॉक की उपलब्धता पर निर्भर करते हैं।

रेनॉ ट्राइबर की कीमत अभी 5.81 लाख रुपये से 8.48 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) के बीच है। यह भारतीय बाजार में सबसे सस्ती थ्री-रो वाली MPV में से एक बनी हुई है, जिसमें सात लोगों के बैठने की सुविधा मिलती है।

पावरट्रेन और इंजन

इंजन की बात करें तो, Renault Triber में 1.0 लीटर का नैचुरली एस्पिरेटेड 3-सिलेंडर पेट्रोल इंजन दिया गया है। यह इंजन 72 bhp की पावर और 96 Nm का पीक टॉर्क जनरेट करता है। इस इंजन के साथ ग्राहकों को 5-स्पीड मैनुअल गियरबॉक्स और 5-स्पीड ऑटोमेटेड मैनुअल ट्रांसमिशन (AMT) का विकल्प मिलता है।

ट्राइबर के मैनुअल वर्जन की ARAI-क्लेम्ड फ्यूल एफिशिएंसी 20.0 kmpl तक है, जबकि AMT वेरिएंट 17.0 kmpl तक का माइलेज देता है।

फीचर्स

वेरिएंट के आधार पर, ट्राइबर में कई फीचर्स देखने को मिलते हैं। इनमें 8 इंच का टचस्क्रीन इंफोटेनमेंट सिस्टम, वायरलेस Android Auto और Apple CarPlay, डिजिटल इंस्ट्रूमेंट क्लस्टर, स्टीयरिंग पर ऑडियो कंट्रोल, पीछे की सीटों के लिए AC वेंट्स, पुश-बटन स्टार्ट/स्टॉप, कीलेस एंट्री, इलेक्ट्रिकली एडजस्ट होने वाले ORVMs और कूल्ड सेंटर स्टोरेज कंपार्टमेंट शामिल हैं।

सेफ्टी फीचर्स की बात करें तो, वेरिएंट के आधार पर Triber में स्टैंडर्ड तौर पर छह एयरबैग, EBD के साथ ABS, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक स्टेबिलिटी प्रोग्राम (ESP), हिल स्टार्ट असिस्ट, टायर प्रेशर मॉनिटरिंग सिस्टम (TPMS), रियर पार्किंग सेंसर, रिवर्सिंग कैमरा और सीट बेल्ट रिमाइंडर दिए गए हैं।

बता दें कि Renault Triber उन खरीदारों की जरूरतों को पूरा करती है जो थ्री-रो सीटिंग वाली किफायती फैमिली गाड़ी की तलाश में हैं। जुलाई 2026 के ऑफर सीमित समय के लिए हैं और ये मैन्युफैक्चरर और भाग लेने वाली डीलरशिप द्वारा तय की गई शर्तों और नियमों के अधीन हैं।

जानिए भारत की सबसे तेज स्पीड वाली ट्रेनों के बारे में, क्या वंदे भारत शामिल है इसमें?

Posted on by admin
वंदे भारत एक्सप्रेस को अक्सर भारत की सबसे मॉडर्न और तेज ट्रेनों में गिना जाता है, लेकिन क्या यह सच में देश की सबसे तेज ट्रेन है? ‘मेक इन इंडिया’ पहल के तहत तैयार की गई यह भारत की पहली स्वदेशी सेमी-हाई-स्पीड ट्रेन है, जो मॉडर्न टेक्निक, तेज रफ्तार और शानदार सुविधाओं के लिए जानी जाती है। इसकी मैक्सिमम स्पीड 160 किमी/घंटा तक है और यह बिना अलग इंजन के इलेक्ट्रिक मल्टीपल यूनिट (EMU) सिस्टम पर चलती है। आइए जानते हैं वंदे भारत, नमो भारत, राजधानी, शताब्दी और नई वंदे भारत स्लीपर में से कौन-सी ट्रेन स्पीड, टेक्नोलॉजी और आराम के मामले में सबसे आगे है:

वंदे भारत स्लीपर एक्सप्रेस: ​​

This may contain: the inside of a train car with purple seats and no one sitting on the bench

2026 में शुरू की गई वंदे भारत स्लीपर एक्सप्रेस, वंदे भारत प्लेटफॉर्म पर बनी भारत की पहली ओवरनाइट (रात भर चलने वाली) ट्रेन है। कोटा-नागदा रूट पर ट्रायल रन के दौरान इसने 180 किमी/घंटा की स्पीड हासिल की, जबकि रिसर्च डिज़ाइन्स एंड स्टैंडर्ड्स ऑर्गनाइजेशन (RDSO) ने मुंबई-अहमदाबाद कॉरिडोर पर लॉन्ग डिस्टेंस के टेस्ट भी किए। हालांकि, रेगुलर कमर्शियल ऑपरेशन में यह ट्रेन मंजूर की गई ऑपरेशनल स्पीड पर चलेगी।

राजधानी एक्सप्रेस:

This may contain: a train traveling down tracks next to the ocean

​​1969 में शुरू हुई राजधानी एक्सप्रेस भारत की पहली पूरी तरह से एयर-कंडीशंड प्रीमियम ट्रेन सर्विस थी। 130 किमी/घंटा की टॉप स्पीड के साथ, यह नई दिल्ली को देश भर की कई स्टेट की राजधानियों और बड़े शहरों से जोड़ती है। दशकों से, राजधानी भारत में लॉन्ग डिस्टेंस की प्रीमियम रेल ट्रैवल के लिए एक बेंचमार्क रही है।

अमृत भारत एक्सप्रेस:

This may contain: the inside of a train car with many tables and laptops on each side of the seats

​​2023 में शुरू की गई अमृत भारत एक्सप्रेस एक नॉन-AC पुश-पुल ट्रेन है जिसे किफायती लॉन्ग डिस्टेंस के ट्रैवल के लिए डिजाइन किया गया है। चेन्नई की इंटीग्रल कोच फैक्ट्री में बनी यह ट्रेन 130 किमी/घंटा तक की स्पीड से चल सकती है। दोनों सिरों पर लोकोमोटिव होने के कारण, ट्रेन की स्पीड तेजी से बढ़ती और कम होती है। इसका ऑब्जेक्टिव छोटे कस्बों और शहरों को तेज और कम्फर्टेबल ट्रैवल ऑप्शन देना है, जहां राजधानी या शताब्दी जैसी प्रीमियम ट्रेनें नहीं जाती हैं।

गतिमान एक्सप्रेस:

ये है भारत की सबसे महंगी और आलीशान ट्रेन, एक टिकट की कीमत में आ जाएगी लग्जरी कार! - News18 हिंदी

​​

अप्रैल 2016 में शुरू की गई गतिमान एक्सप्रेस भारत की पहली सेमी-हाई-स्पीड ट्रेन सेवा थी। हजरत निजामुद्दीन और आगरा कैंट के बीच चलने वाली यह ट्रेन मैक्सिमम 160 किमी/घंटा की स्पीड से चलती है। इस ट्रेन को 5,500 HP वाले WAP-5 इलेक्ट्रिक लोकोमोटिव से चलाया जाता है और इसमें एग्जीक्यूटिव चेयर कार और AC चेयर कार कोच होते हैं। सभी कोच बायो-टॉयलेट से लैस हैं, जो इसे इंडियन रेलवे की प्रीमियम डे की ट्रैवल सर्विस में से एक बनाता है।

शताब्दी एक्सप्रेस: ​​

This may contain: a train traveling over a bridge with tall buildings in the backgroung area

1988 में शुरू हुई शताब्दी एक्सप्रेस भारत की सबसे पॉपुलर प्रीमियम दिन की ट्रेनों में से एक है। इसे उसी दिन वापसी की जर्नी के लिए डिजाइन किया गया है और यह मैक्सिमम 130 किमी/घंटा की गति से चलती है। इस ट्रेन में केवल AC चेयर कार और एग्जीक्यूटिव चेयर कार कोच होते हैं, इसमें स्लीपर डिब्बे नहीं होते, जिससे यह कम से मीडियम डिस्टेंस की जर्नी के लिए आइडियल बन जाती है।

नमो भारत RRTS:

नमो भारत की पीक ऑवर्स में 10 और नई ट्रिप्स की शुरुआत, RRTS कॉरिडोर के यात्रियों को मिली बड़ी सौगात | Namo Bharat 10 more new Trips launched during peak hours Good

दिल्ली-मेरठ रीजनल रैपिड ट्रांजिट सिस्टम (RRTS) पर चलने वाली नमो भारत ट्रेनें तेज स्पीड वाली रीजनल ट्रैवल के लिए डिज़ाइन की गई हैं। हालांकि ये 160 किमी/घंटा की ऑपरेशनल स्पीड से चलती हैं, लेकिन इन ट्रेनों की डिज़ाइन स्पीड 180 किमी/घंटा है। नेशनल कैपिटल रीजन ट्रांसपोर्ट कॉरपोरेशन (NCRTC) डेवलप्ड यह सिस्टम ट्रेडिशनल रेलवे लाइनों और रोड ट्रैफिक से अलग, खास तौर पर इसके लिए बनाए गए ट्रैक पर चलता है, जिससे ट्रैवल तेज और ज़्यादा भरोसेमंद होती है।

वंदे भारत से लेकर अमृत भारत तक, इंडियन रेलवे तेजी से मॉडर्न हो रहा है और तेज ट्रेनें, बेहतर टेक्नोलॉजी और पैसेंजर के लिए ज्यादा आराम जैसी सुविधाएं ला रहा है। ये अगली जनरेशन की सर्विस ट्रैवल का समय कम कर रही हैं, सेफ्टी बढ़ा रही हैं और देश भर के ज्यादा शहरों और कस्बों तक हाई-स्पीड कनेक्टिविटी पहुंचा रही हैं।

Nissan Tekton vs Skoda Kushaq: Whose top trim offers more value?

Nissan recently launched the Tekton midsize SUV in India. It is being offered in six trims: Visia, Visia+, Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, and Tekna+, with prices ranging from Rs 10.49 lakh to Rs 18.59 lakh (ex-showroom). The Skoda Kushaq is also offered at a similar top-end price. So, which top-spec model should you choose between the Tekton Tekna+ and Kushaq Prestige? Let us find out.

Buying a used Mahindra XUV 3XO: What to look out for

Posted on by admin
used Mahindra XUV 3XO

GOOD FOR: Spacious interior, Strong engines

LOOK OUT FOR: Suspension rattles, Infotainment issues

The Mahindra XUV 3XO was launched in 2024 as a replacement for the XUV300. But instead of a mild facelift, Mahindra went all out and gave the compact SUV an overhauled exterior, a thoroughly reworked interior, some segment-first features, a new class-leading petrol powertrain and a new name. Mahindra’s smallest offering stands out in the crowded compact SUV segment for its roomy and premium interior and many powertrain options, making it worth considering as a used buy. Here’s what to keep in mind.

Despite the redesigned exterior, the 3XO’s rear section still looks abruptly chopped off, though it doesn’t look as awkward as the XUV300’s. The front styling, too, is bold, distinctive and splits opinion. Inside, quality took a huge step up, with the 3XO’s interior feeling genuinely premium. It’s very good on space too, and can easily accommodate five adults, though the trade-off is one of the smallest boots in the segment.

Check out used Mahindra XUV 3XO models.

Mahindra XUV 3XO powertrain and mileage

Petrol, turbo-petrol, and diesel engines;  up to 21.8kpl claimed mileage

Mahindra offers the XUV 3XO with three engine options – two petrols and one diesel. The range starts with a 111hp, 1.2-litre, MPFi, turbo-petrol engine that can be had with a 6-speed manual (ARAI-rated 18.89kpl fuel economy) or a 6-speed torque converter automatic (17.96kpl) option. Then there’s a 117hp, 1.5-litre diesel, which comes with a 6-speed manual (20.6kpl) and 6-speed AMT (21.2kpl). Meanwhile, the range topper is a 131hp, 1.2-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol unit, which is available with an Aisin-sourced 6-speed torque converter automatic (18.2kpl) and a 6-speed manual option (20.1kpl).

The diesel makes sense for high-mileage users or for those who do frequent road trips owing to its higher real-world efficiency. Enthusiasts will enjoy the 131hp turbo-petrol for its punchy character and the performance it packs in. However, for most users, the 111hp turbo-petrol will do the job just fine, as it has a good balance of performance, drivability and efficiency. What’s great is that every engine option can be had with an automatic gearbox option for greater convenience.

Mahindra XUV 3XO variants and features

Twin 10.25-inch screens, panoramic sunroof

At launch, there were nine trim lines on offer – MX1, MX2, MX2 Pro, MX3, MX3 Pro, AX5, AX5 L, AX7 and AX7 L. Mahindra later launched a mid-spec RevX trim for the XUV 3XO too. As for features, the top-spec AX7L gets all-LED lighting, a seven-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with a 380W amplifier, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen and driver’s display, panoramic sunroof, AdrenoX Connect connectivity suite, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless charger, rear AC vents, and more.

All variants get safety features like 6 airbags, rear disc brakes, ESP and ISOFIX anchors. Higher-spec versions get an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, hill-start and hill-descent assist, a 360-degree camera, a blind spot monitor and Level 2 ADAS. As always, the range-topping variant will give you the best experience given all that it packs in, but for most users, the mid-spec AX5 will also suffice, as it has a good balance of features.

XUV 3XO warranty details

The XUV 3XO is a reliable SUV, with problems few and far between, and it’s backed up by Mahindra’s widespread service network throughout the country. What’s nice is that it comes with a standard warranty of 3 years / 1,00,000km, which can be extended to a total of 5 years or 1,50,000km. 

What to look out for in a used Mahindra XUV 3XO

Suspension rattles

Some owners have reported rattling or thudding sounds coming from the suspension when driven through rough patches or potholes. This is often linked to worn out lower control arms. Take a test drive and drive through a rough patch of road, and listen out for any thudding or rattling from the suspension. Many of the suspension components are covered under warranty too, so this is something to keep in mind. 

Infotainment issues

Owners have faced issues with the XUV 3XO’s AdrenoX infotainment system like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto disconnections, screen freezing and the reverse camera display getting stuck on a black screen. Before purchasing, check that it functions smoothly, pairs up with your phone easily, and that the system’s software is up to date.

Braking trouble

Mahindra XUV 3XO owners have reported a few distinct brake issues, ranging from inconsistent, spongy brake pedal feel to hissing noises and overly sensitive Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). Before purchasing, it’s worth getting the brakes checked by an authorised service center.

Second hand Mahindra XUV 3XO price and resale value

Rs 6 lakh-10 lakh

Being a new model that’s still on sale, the XUV 3XO commands good value in the resale market. With such a wide spread of trim levels and powertrain options, you’ll find used options across a wide price range, but refrain from spending over Rs 10 lakh. Look for an example with the extended warranty package, as that’ll give you added peace of mind.
