Mahindra has officially launched the much-awaited Mahindra XUV 3XO in Australia, pricing the AX5L variant at AUD 23,490 (approximately ₹13.18 lakh). With this, Mahindra continues to expand its global presence, making the XUV 3XO its fourth offering in Australia after the S11 4X4 Pikup, Scorpio, and XUV700. This new launch aims to capture a larger slice of the competitive sub-compact SUV market in the country.

Mahindra’s Growing Footprint in Australia

Australia is a key international market for Mahindra, and the company is strategically placing products that cater to a wide range of customer needs. The new XUV 3XO fits perfectly into the urban SUV space, directly competing with popular models like the Chery Tiggo 4, Mazda CX-3, MG ZS, Kia Stonic, and Hyundai Venue.

The XUV 3XO is being offered in two variants in Australia – AX5L and AX7L, both of which come packed with features and aggressive introductory pricing.
