Modern Indian drivers often face a wide mix of traffic conditions – from slow-moving city lanes to long stretches of highway. To manage both ends of this spectrum, a car needs more than just power. It needs balance. The Mahindra XUV 3XO REVX line-up, with its varied engine and transmission options, aims to deliver exactly that. Whether it’s the daily office commute or a weekend getaway, the XUV 3XO REVX variants are designed to fit in.

Driving Behaviour: Engine Matters

The kind of engine under the bonnet can change how the car feels on the road. And with the XUV 3XO REVX variants, there are two distinct petrol engines that serve different needs. The Turbocharged multipoint fuel injection (TCMPFi) engine is available in REVX M and REVX M (O), while the Turbocharged Gasoline Direct injection (TGDi) engine is found in the REVX A.

Engine and Transmission Overview

Specification	TCMPFi Engine	TGDi Engine
Engine Capacity	1.2 L	1.2 L
Max Power	82 kW @ 5000 rpm	96 kW @ 5000 rpm
Max Torque	200 Nm @ 1500-3500 rpm	230 Nm @ 1500-3750 rpm
Transmission Options	6 MT	6 MT / 6 AT

The TCMPFi unit feels tailored for urban driving. It delivers steady performance at low RPMs, making stop-start city traffic easier to manage. On the other hand, the TGDi engine brings more punch. For those who spend more time on expressways or highways, the TGDi-powered REVX A gives a noticeable difference in overtaking ability and cruising comfort.

Suspension Setup and Road Comfort

City roads can be harsh – potholes, speed breakers, sudden turns – and highway routes demand smoothness and high-speed stability. The XUV 3XO REVX tries to bridge both needs with a smart suspension arrangement.

What Lies Beneath

• Front: McPherson Strut with Anti-roll Bar
• Rear: Twist Beam Suspension with Coil Spring
• Tyres: 205/65 R16 (Steel in base, Alloy in top variant)
• Spare: 135/90 R16
• Turning Radius: 5.3 metres

This setup allows the SUV to glide over broken city roads without bouncing excessively, while still offering stability during highway cornering or quick lane changes.

Dimensions: A Balanced Footprint

The Mahindra XUV 3XO REVX stays within compact SUV dimensions but doesn’t compromise on comfort or road presence.

Size & Usability

• Length × Width × Height: 3990 × 1821 × 1647 mm
• Wheelbase: 2600 mm
• Fuel Tank Capacity: 42 litres

Its under-4-metre length makes it easy to slot into tight parking spaces and handle busy roundabouts. At the same time, the 2600 mm wheelbase helps give passengers enough legroom and aids straight-line stability during long drives.

Performance in Urban Use

City drives require nimble handling, light steering, and practical features. For example, the base REVX M gets a strong set of comfort and safety elements suited for daily commutes.
