Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG Price in India
Starting Ex-Showroom Price
The XUV 3XO ZNG starts at ₹9.99 lakh ex-showroom and tops out at ₹12.27 lakh ex-showroom. Mahindra's official price list gives the following four prices. [1]
| Variant | Ex-showroom price |
|---|---|
| MX Edge | ₹9.99 lakh |
| REVX Edge (O) | ₹10.79 lakh |
| AX5 | ₹11.19 lakh |
| REVX A | ₹12.27 lakh |
These are ex-showroom prices, not the final amount payable after registration, insurance, taxes or other statutory charges.
Expected On-Road Price
A verified on-road quote cannot be stated as one national figure. It changes with the registration location, road tax, insurance selection, handling or statutory charges and any applicable local rules. Mahindra's launch release discloses ex-showroom prices only, so this article does not invent city-wise on-road totals.
City-Wise Price Differences
The official announcement does not publish a city-by-city on-road price table. Buyers comparing Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru or another city should treat the four figures above as the common ex-showroom reference, then obtain a dated local quotation that itemises registration and insurance. No such quote is included here.
Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG Variants
The CNG range has four manual variants. The official release lists the variant names and prices, while the feature walk shows how equipment builds from the MX Edge. [1]
| Variant | What Mahindra lists | Price |
|---|---|---|
| MX Edge | 26.03 cm HD infotainment, cruise control, rear camera, rear AC vents, 60:40 rear seat, six airbags, ESC and ISOFIX | ₹9.99 lakh |
| REVX Edge (O) | Adds Skyroof, roof rails, auto headlamps and wipers, folding ORVMs, passive keyless entry, push-button start, height-adjustable driver seat, leatherette seats and rear armrest | ₹10.79 lakh |
| AX5 | Adds twin 26.03 cm screens, six speakers, diamond-cut alloys, single-pane sunroof, LED projector lamps and DRLs, Alexa-connected features, navigation, dual-zone climate control, 65W USB-C charging and TPMS | ₹11.19 lakh |
| REVX A | Adds Skyroof, Dolby Atmos, black leatherette seats, dual-tone roof and R16 black alloys over AX5 equipment | ₹12.27 lakh |
All four use the same announced turbocharged CNG-petrol powertrain and six-speed manual transmission. The official release does not list an automatic CNG variant. [1] [2]
Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG Mileage
Officially Claimed Mileage
Mahindra claims a certified efficiency of 24.7 km/kg in CNG mode. This is a certification figure, not a promise of the same result on every route or in every driving condition. [1]
Expected Real-World Mileage
A dependable real-world mileage figure is not yet available in the launch material. Traffic, air-conditioning use, load, tyre pressure, driving style, CNG quality and route profile can all change consumption. Therefore, no real-world number is presented as fact here; owner reports and controlled road tests should be treated separately from the certified claim.
Fuel Tank and CNG Capacity
The launch release confirms twin cylinders under the luggage area, a flat loading floor and 270 litres of usable boot space. [1] V3Cars reports the combined CNG capacity as 60 litres water equivalent, alongside a 42-litre petrol tank, but that capacity figure is not stated in Mahindra's release. [2] It should therefore be read as a reported specification pending confirmation in the final owner documentation.
Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG Booking Date: October 20
How to Book the SUV
Mahindra says bookings will open on October 20, 2026 through authorised dealerships and online at its automotive website. Test drives were scheduled to commence on October 15, 2026. [1]
Booking Amount and Payment Terms
The official launch release does not disclose a booking amount, cancellation policy or payment schedule. Those details must not be inferred from the ex-showroom price. This article records the amount as undisclosed rather than inserting an estimate.
Expected Delivery Timeline
Mahindra states that deliveries will commence from October 20, 2026. That is the announced start date, not a guaranteed delivery date for every booking. Waiting time can vary by variant, colour, location, allocation and production capacity; the release does not give a variant-wise or city-wise delivery schedule. [1]
Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG Engine and Performance
The ZNG uses a 1.2-litre mStallion TCMPFi turbocharged engine. Mahindra says it makes 82 kW and 200 Nm in both CNG and petrol modes, with peak torque available from 1,500 to 3,500 rpm. The company quotes 0–60 km/h in 4.9 seconds and 0–100 km/h in 11.8 seconds in CNG mode. [1]
The system can switch automatically to petrol when CNG runs low. It also includes a 10-bar CNG injection system and a fast-filling valve, according to the launch release. [1] The transmission is a six-speed manual. [2]
Features and Interior
The entry MX Edge includes a 26.03 cm HD touchscreen, cruise control, rear AC vents, a 60:40 split rear seat and a rear-view camera. Higher trims add a Skyroof, twin screens, connected features with built-in Alexa, navigation, dual-zone climate control, sunroof options, Dolby Atmos and leatherette upholstery. [1]
The underfloor twin-cylinder layout is central to the packaging story. Mahindra says it preserves a flat loading floor and 270 litres of usable boot space, while the spare wheel stays under the body. [1]
Safety Features
All XUV 3XO ZNG variants get six airbags, Electronic Stability Control and ISOFIX child-seat mounts as standard, according to Mahindra. The CNG system includes gas-leak detection that can switch the engine to petrol mode. [1]
Mahindra says the ZNG is built on the existing XUV 3XO, which has a five-star Bharat-NCAP rating for adult and child occupant protection. That statement describes the underlying existing vehicle; it should not be read as a separate Bharat-NCAP result for the CNG version because no separate ZNG result is given in the release. [1] [2]
Mahindra XUV 3XO CNG vs Rivals
The most direct factory-fitted CNG SUV comparisons are the Tata Nexon CNG and Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG. V3Cars places the XUV 3XO CNG at 112 PS and 200 Nm, ahead of the listed Nexon CNG and Brezza CNG outputs, while its reported 24.7 km/kg claim is below the Brezza's reported 26.90 km/kg. [2]
That comparison needs care: specifications, prices and fuel-efficiency claims can change, and the figures cited for rivals are from V3Cars' October 2026 comparison rather than a single manufacturer document. The XUV 3XO's 270-litre boot is also smaller than the 321-litre Nexon CNG and 328-litre Brezza CNG figures reported there. [2]
