The XUV 3XO Vibe
For the TorqPulse reader who wants more than basic commuting — who seeks a compact SUV that punches above its weight in both features and personality — the XUV 3XO is a compelling option. It blends sharp styling, modern features, and SUV-stance with a price tag that keeps it accessible. If you’re after a car that’s smart in the city, confident on the highway, and loaded enough to feel premium, this one lines up well.
Pricing Snapshot in India
Here are the typical ex-showroom price points for the XUV 3XO in India:
Entry variant: from around ₹ 7.28 lakh.
Top variant: up to about ₹ 14.40 lakh.
On-road costs (in a city like Delhi) will be higher once you include RTO/insurance/registration—e.g., the ex-showroom starting figure is the baseline.
Because this model offers a lot of capability for its price, the value proposition is strong in this segment

What TorqPulse Readers Will Appreciate
Strong value proposition: With an entry price sub-₹8 lakh (ex-showroom) and premium features available, it stands out in its class.
Tech-rich & feature loaded: The newer trims bring premium touches (e.g., panoramic sunroof, ADAS, large displays) which makes it more than just a basic utility vehicle.
Compact size with SUV character: The dimensions and SUV styling make it both city-friendly and capable for highway use—especially if you want something more engaging than plain sedans or hatchbacks.
Choice of petrol/diesel and manual/auto: Flexibility in drivetrains means you can tailor the specification to your driving style (city vs highway) and budget.
Things to Consider / Trade-Offs
Segment compromise in space: While generous for its class, if you routinely carry large groups, lots of luggage, or need third-row seating, this compact SUV will have limitations compared to larger models.
Variant differentiation matters: Given the range of trims, engines and gearboxes, you’ll want to pick the variant carefully to ensure you’re getting the features you prioritise—not just the base spec.
Running costs: If you pick the diesel or high-end trim, maintenance, insurance and fuel costs could be higher—so match the usage to the specification.
Future proofing & value: While the XUV 3XO has strong features now, keep in mind how rapidly the compact SUV segment evolves—tech, connectivity and even electrification are advancing fast
Final Verdict for TorqPulse
If you are a driver who values smart value, modern features, SUV styling and usability — and you’re comfortable with a compact size rather than going full-size — the XUV 3XO is a very strong pick.
If instead your priority is maximum space (large family), highest possible luxury interior, or ultra-low running cost, you might explore slightly larger or more specialised alternatives before choosing.
