On Oct 15 2026, Mahindra will hit Indian showrooms with the XUV 3XO CNG, a trim that starts at ₹8.29 lakh ex‑showroom.
The new version fits the same 1.2‑litre MPFI turbo‑petrol kit that powers the petrol XUV 3XO, but it’s pre‑filled with CNG cylinders. That means the same 111hp and 200Nm output, but with a cleaner combustion that trims running cost.
For buyers eyeing a compact SUV, the CNG option sits between the petrol XUV 3XO and the all‑electric e‑XUV 3XO. Competitors like the Tata Harrier CNG or the Hyundai Creta CNG offer similar power but at higher price tags.
Inside, Mahindra keeps the premium feel: a 10.25‑inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, dual‑zone climate control and a panoramic sunroof that even the base CNG variant gets. The design stays close to the REVX look, with a fresh red trim.
Transmission-wise, the CNG unit is expected to pair with a 6‑speed manual that the petrol model already uses, giving drivers a familiar driving feel while the cylinders keep the engine cooler. Mileage estimates are yet to be confirmed, but earlier studies suggest a 30–35 km/l run.
The model will roll out across major metros—Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad—within the first month of launch, with dealerships preparing for test drives next week. Keep an eye on pricing tweaks as the variant line expands.
