All these engines produce a power output of 110 bhp, 130 bhp and 117 bhp with torque outputs of 200 Nm, 230 Nm and 300 Nm, respectively.

Mahindra XUV3XO - Waiting Period 

To manage the high demand, Mahindra has taken steps to minimise the waiting period for the XUV3XO. The company has already manufactured over 10,000 units before deliveries began and has increased production capacity to 9,000 units per month. Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO at Mahindra, emphasised the company's commitment to keeping waiting times short, understanding that many customers are first-time car buyers who may not want to wait long for their new vehicle.
