Pros & Cons Comparison

Things We Like in Mahindra XUV 3XO

All four wheels get disc brakes as standard even on the base variant.
The 1.2-litre TGDi engine's 230 Nm of torque, available from 1,500 rpm, gives it a pull that Mahindra claims is 35% higher than its nearest petrol rivals in the segment.

Things We Like in Tata Nexon

Holds 5-star ratings from both Bharat NCAP (2024) and Global NCAP (2024), scoring 29.41/32 and 32.22/34 respectively for adult occupant protection.
The 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCA) is a notably sophisticated transmission for this price band, featuring wet clutch technology with active cooling, machine learning adaptation, and a self-healing mechanism.

Things We Don't Like in Mahindra XUV 3XO

Drive modes (Zip, Zap, Zoom) are exclusive to petrol automatic variants, manual buyers and diesel customers get no such option.
Smart Pilot Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control, are locked to Luxury pack petrol automatic variants only.

Things We Don't Like in Tata Nexon

Knee airbags are not available on any variant, a gap that is flagged in the Bharat NCAP safety equipment listing.
The CNG variant is available only with a 6-speed manual transmission system. No automatic option exists for buyers who want both CNG running costs and a gearbox-free driving experience.
