The Mahindra XUV 3XO was lately launched because the facelifted successor to the XUV300. We’ve examined its diesel guide variant to see how properly it performs in real-world circumstances and in contrast it to the pre-facelift mannequin from a couple of years in the past. The outcomes, nevertheless, weren’t what we anticipated. Even although they’ve the identical specs over time – a 1.5-litre diesel engine making 117 PS and 300 Nm, the unit has been up to date to satisfy the stricter emission norms over time. Here is a breakdown of how each SUVs carried out within the checks.

The purpose for a decline within the efficiency is the implementation of BS6 section 2 norms. We examined the XUV300 earlier than these new emission norms got here out, however since their implementation, some modifications needed to be made to this engine, which has had an impact on the general efficiency. The engine remains to be refined and responsive, simply inferior to earlier than. This is the case for lots of diesel engines, not simply the Mahindra ones.

However, because the BS6 section 2 norms haven’t any impact on the braking efficiency of a automobile, we are able to see a constructive distinction in efficiency right here. In each the 80-0 kmph and 100-0 kmph braking checks, the Mahindra 3XO carried out higher and had a shorter braking distance than the XUV300 by over half a metre.
