Tynan Mahindra Kirrawee Shares: Why the Mahindra XUV 3XO Is the Perfect First Car – According to Drive

There’s nothing quite like the moment a young driver takes the wheel for the first time. It’s a mix of pride, anticipation, and—let’s face it—a little worry. Safety, style, and technology all weigh heavily on the decision of that all-important first car.

Thanks to Drive.com.au, there’s a new small SUV that’s winning over parents and new drivers alike: the 2025 Mahindra XUV 3XO.

🛡️ Safety First – Reassurance for Parents

Drive describes the XUV 3XO as “a safe SUV under $25K”—a bold claim, and one that stacks up. Mahindra has equipped every variant with a full Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and six airbags as standard, including:

• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
• Forward Collision Warning
• Lane Departure Warning
• Lane Keep Assist
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Smart Pilot Assist
• Traffic Sign Recognition
• High Beam Assist

It even includes seatbelt reminders for all five seats—a level of attention that should give every parent peace of mind.

And while it’s not ANCAP-rated just yet, the Bharat NCAP five-star rating and the use of advanced high-strength steel in its frame put it ahead of many competitors in safety emphasis.

📱 Tech Young Drivers Will Love

Let’s be honest—if you’re a young driver, the question isn't "how safe is it?" but "does it have wireless Apple CarPlay?"

Happily, the XUV 3XO answers with a resounding yes—and Android Auto too. From the dual 10.25-inch displays to the snappy infotainment interface and 65W USB-C fast charging, tech lovers won’t be left wanting.

Even the entry-level AX5L has:

• Wireless smartphone integration
• Digital dashboard
• Reversing camera
• Push-button start
• Keyless entry
• Tyre pressure monitoring

And if you step up to the AX7L, you get:

• A stunning 360-degree surround camera
• Blind-spot live video feed
• Harman Kardon sound system
• Panoramic glass sunroof
• Blacked-out roof & 17-inch diamond-cut alloys

It’s a seriously stylish step up from the typical small SUV.

🚗 Easy and Enjoyable to Drive

Drive.com.au points out that the XUV 3XO’s light electric steering, tight 3990mm length, and “command driving position” make it ideal for navigating city streets and carparks. It’s compact on the outside but smart on space, with:

• A roomy cabin
• A class-leading 364-litre boot
• Comfortable seating for five
• Handy touches like rear air vents and auto-hold transmission

Under the bonnet, the XUV 3XO’s 1.2L turbo petrol engine delivers 82kW and 200Nm, with drive modes called Zip, Zap, and Zoom that make it feel fun yet confident.

And yes, the six-speed automatic transmission is made by Aisin, a trusted Toyota subsidiary.

💰 Value That’s Hard to Ignore

Drive calls the Mahindra XUV 3XO “affordable, reliable and safe”—and it’s easy to see why. Here’s what you get for a starting price of $23,490 drive-away:

• Dual-zone climate control
• LED lighting
• Digital screens
• Top-tier safety tech
• Full warranty coverage
• Great styling and usability

And did we mention the seven-year/150,000km warranty, seven years of roadside assist, and capped-price servicing?

It’s not just a smart buy—it’s peace of mind for years to come.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Perfect for Parents and First-Time Drivers Alike
