Which variant of the Mahindra XUV 3XO should you buy?

AX5L is recommended, but the RevX Edge (O) is a good option for budget buyers

The Mahindra XUV 3XO’s higher-spec AX5L offers a fine balance between value for money and a loaded feature list. The most significant feature misses in this trim include a panoramic sunroof and a Harman Kardon sound system, but it is still loaded with modern-day features. However, if you want a diesel engine, the AX7 is the option to go for, which also equips it with features missing on the AX5L. If you are on a budget, the mid-spec RevX Edge (O) is the most value-for-money trim in the SUV’s lineup.
