XUV 3XO Goes Green: CNG Power Arrives!
15 Oct
Summary
- Mahindra's XUV 3XO now offers a factory-fitted CNG option.
- Bookings and deliveries commence on October 20, 2026.
- The CNG variant retains a 270-litre boot capacity with dual cylinders.
Mahindra has expanded its XUV 3XO lineup by introducing a factory-fitted CNG option, offering a new dual-fuel powertrain. This move brings the popular compact SUV into the passenger vehicle CNG segment, a segment Mahindra re-enters after the KUV100 Trip.
The XUV 3XO CNG is powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, adapted to run on both petrol and CNG. It delivers a claimed 111hp and 200Nm, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. The vehicle boasts a claimed fuel efficiency of 24.7km/kg, with an automatic switch to petrol when CNG is low.
Mahindra has ingeniously implemented a dual-cylinder CNG storage system. This design ensures the SUV retains a substantial 270-litre boot capacity, a significant advantage over typical CNG installations. The exterior remains largely the same, distinguished only by a 'ZNG' badge, while the interior features are variant-dependent.
With prices starting at Rs 9.99 lakh, bookings and deliveries are set to begin on October 20, 2026. The XUV 3XO CNG directly competes with rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Brezza S-CNG and Tata Nexon iCNG in the growing factory-fitted CNG market.
