The Mahindra XUV 3XO has been spied with a dual-cylinder tank setup, an arrangement that is aimed to take up less boot space; 3XO has the smallest boot in the compact SUV segment. This sighting comes a day ahead of the SUV’s launch tomorrow. CNG will be the fourth powertrain option, alongside petrol, diesel and electric, giving Mahindra’s most affordable SUV one of the widest powertrain line-ups in the segment, along with the Tata Nexon.
Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG spy shot details
Between the 1.2-litre MPFI (multi-point fuel injection) turbo-petrol and 1.2-litre direct-injection (DI) turbo-petrol engine options of the 3XO, a CNG kit is likely to be offered with the former, and exact specifications are yet to be disclosed. MPFI engines are relatively cheaper to manufacture and simpler to adapt for CNG, since fuel is injected into the intake manifold. Doing the same with a DI engine is more complex and expensive.
Interestingly, the spied vehicle had dual-tone alloy wheels, suggesting that Mahindra may offer the CNG option even in the higher trims. It’s interior is unlikely to receive any changes, and depending on the trim, features such as a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a 10.25 inch digital driver’s display, steering-mounted controls and more could be on offer.
A recent teaser of the 3XO CNG featured a body coloured front grille, something that is offered in the RevX range, and LED DRLs, LED headlights and a panoramic sunroof.
Scope of CNG in compact SUV segment
CNG has become increasingly popular in India. A CNG option could help boost XUV 3XO sales, and also help the carmaker meet the stricter CAFE III norms that come into effect in April 2027. This is especially important because a large part of Mahindra’s sales comes from diesel models. Along with EVs, CNG models will be key to balancing the CO2 emissions from its diesel range. In the past, Mahindra has offered this fuel option on some of its commercial pickup range, as well as via conversion kits for the erstwhile Logan and Verito.
In addition to the Nexon, the XUV 3XO CNG will face competition from models like the Maruti Brezza and the Fronx. We expect the CNG version to command a premium of about Rs 1 lakh over the equivalent petrol trim.
Mahindra will debut a CNG the variant of the XUV 3XO on October 15, expanding its compact SUV’s powertrain line-up to four options. The CNG version will join the existing petrol, diesel and electric variants, making it the third compact SUV in India to offer a CNG option, alongside the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Tata Nexon. The teaser offers a first look at the XUV 3XO CNG’s exterior and interior.
Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG: Expected powertrain
The XUV 3XO CNG is expected to use the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine with multi-point fuel injection (MPFI), which produces 111hp and 200Nm in the petrol version. The petrol-powered XUV 3XO is available with six-speed manual and automatic gearboxes. Transmission options for the CNG version, along with details of the CNG tank and its placement, are likely to be revealed closer to launch.
Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG: exterior and interior
The teaser shows a body-coloured panel between the headlamps, with slim metallic inserts flanking the Mahindra Twin Peaks logo. The closed-off grille design resembles the RevX range, which suggests Mahindra could be offering the CNG powertrain with the RevX range. The teaser also confirms a panoramic sunroof.
Other exterior details are expected to remain largely unchanged from the standard XUV 3XO.
September 2026 saw the Maruti Suzuki Baleno top the best-selling cars list with 25,392 units dispatched, a 93 percent increase year on year.

It rivals the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and Mahindra XUV 3XO and is priced from Rs 7.40 lakh to Rs 14.52 lakh for the ICE powered Nexon, while the Nexon EV starts at Rs 12.49 lakh and goes up to 17.89 lakh.

The Tata Punch, including the Punch EV, recorded 20,333 units in September 2026, up 28 percent from 15,891 units a year earlier.

The Punch rivals the Hyundai Exter and Citroen C3 and is priced from Rs 5.75 lakh to Rs 10.77 lakh. The Punch EV meanwhile is priced from Rs 9.79 lakh to Rs 12.99 lakh.
4. Maruti Suzuki Fronx
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx ranked fourth in September 2026 with 19,282 units, compared with 13,767 units in September 2025. Its dispatches increased 40 percent year on year. The Fronx’s crossover styling, comfortable cabin and fuel-efficient powertrains continue to support demand, although it lacks some popular features. It rivals the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger and is priced between Rs 6.85 lakh and Rs 11.84 lakh.
5. Maruti Suzuki Wagon R
The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R recorded 18,835 units in September 2026, up 22 percent from 15,388 units in the same month last year. It finished fifth in the rankings. Its spacious cabin, ease of driving and low running costs remain key strengths, although its light build and limited highway ability are drawbacks.

6. Maruti Suzuki Dzire
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire recorded 17,754 units in September 2026, down 11 percent from 20,038 units in September 2025. It ranked sixth and was the only sedan in the top 10.

It was the only Hyundai model in the top 10, finishing seventh. A roomy cabin, multiple powertrain options and a long feature list continue to attract buyers, although the top variants are expensive and some interior plastics could be better. The Creta rivals the Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Honda Elevate and Tata Sierra. It is priced between Rs 10.91 lakh and Rs 20.14 lakh.
8. Maruti Suzuki Swift
The Maruti Suzuki Swift recorded 17,399 units in September 2026, up 12 percent from 15,547 units a year earlier. It finished eighth and was one of three Maruti Suzuki hatchbacks in the top 10.

9. Mahindra Scorpio
The Mahindra Scorpio, combining the Scorpio N and Scorpio Classic, recorded 17,313 units in September 2026. This was down 6 percent from 18,372 units in September 2025, placing it ninth. The Scorpio nameplate remains popular for its strong engines, rugged character and off-road ability. However, the third-row seating is cramped and the luggage area is not particularly practical. The Scorpio N rivals the Tata Safari, Hyundai Alcazar and Mahindra XUV 7XO and is priced from Rs 13.69 lakh to Rs 25.49 lakh.
10. Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga completed the top 10 with 16,911 units in September 2026, up 40 percent from 12,115 units in the same month last year. It was the sixth Maruti Suzuki model in the rankings.

It is priced from Rs 8.90 lakh to Rs 13.04 lakh and rivals the Kia Carens and Toyota Rumion.

Tata Motors September 2026 Sales: फेस्टिव सीजन शुरू होने से पहले Tata Motors के लिए सितंबर 2026 का महीना काफी अच्छा रहा। इस दौरान कंपनी ने कुल 70,210 कारें और SUV बेचकर महीना खत्म किया, जिसमें साल-दर-साल (YoY) 15% की बढ़ोतरी देखी गई। त्योहारी सीजन शुरू होने से पहले टाटा मोटर्स की इलेक्ट्रिक और दूसरे पर्यावरण के अनुकूल पावरट्रेन वाली कारों की बिक्री भी अच्छी रही।
कंपनी ने FY27 की दूसरी तिमाही में भी शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। इस दौरान Tata Motors ने कुल 2.02 लाख पैसेंजर व्हीकल बेचे। पिछले साल इसी तिमाही में कंपनी ने 1.44 लाख गाड़ियां बेची थीं। यानी सालाना आधार पर बिक्री में करीब 40% की बढ़ोतरी हुई।
दूसरी तिमाही में हुई कुल बिक्री में से 1.97 लाख गाड़ियां घरेलू बाजार में बिकीं। जो FY26 की दूसरी तिमाही में बिकी 1.41 लाख गाड़ियों के मुकाबले 40% ज्यादा है। वहीं, ग्लोबल मार्केट में बिक्री 20% बढ़कर 5,049 यूनिट हो गई।
कंपनी ने बताया कि FY27 की दूसरी तिमाही के दौरान ‘पंच’ (Punch) भारत में सबसे ज्यादा बिकने वाली SUV रही। आइए, बिक्री के प्रदर्शन को विस्तार से समझते हैं।
Punch, Nexon, Sierra और दूसरी गाड़ियों की बदौलत Tata ने 70,000 यूनिट का आंकड़ा किया पार
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles ने बताया है कि उसने सितंबर 2026 में कुल 70,210 यूनिट बेचे। यह पिछले साल इसी महीने में बेची गई 60,907 यूनिट के मुकाबले 15% की बड़ी बढ़ोतरी है। कंपनी के मुताबिक, फेस्टिव सीजन शुरू होने से ठीक पहले Tata Motors ने एक महीने में 70 हजार से ज्यादा गाड़ियां बेचने का आंकड़ा हासिल किया है। घरेलू बाजार की बात करें तो सितंबर 2026 में Tata Motors ने 68,810 पैसेंजर व्हीकल बेचे, जबकि पिछले साल इसी महीने यह आंकड़ा 59,667 यूनिट था। यानी घरेलू बिक्री में भी 15% की बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की गई।
वहीं, इंटरनेशनल शिपमेंट भी साल-दर-साल 13% बढ़कर सितंबर 2026 में 1,400 यूनिट हो गई, जो पिछले साल 1,240 यूनिट थी।
EV की बिक्री में 67% की बढ़ोतरी
इस महीने कंपनी की ग्रोथ में टाटा के पोर्टफोलियो में शामिल इलेक्ट्रिक कारों – जैसे Punch EV, Nexon EV, Tiago EV और अन्य – का अहम योगदान रहा। कंपनी ने सितंबर में घरेलू और अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजारों में कुल 15,384 EV बेचीं, जो पिछले साल इसी अवधि में बेची गई 9,191 यूनिट्स के मुकाबले 67% ज्यादा है।

कंपनी की कुल पैसेंजर व्हीकल बिक्री में EV मॉडल्स की हिस्सेदारी 23% रही। वहीं, CNG कारों की हिस्सेदारी 28% रही। यानी EV और CNG दोनों को मिलाकर Tata Motors की तिमाही बिक्री में इन दोनों पावरट्रेन की हिस्सेदारी 50% से ज्यादा रही।
