@cryofthehills thank you!

@@anandu.thampy yes you get disc brakes on all 4 wheels in MX3 Petrol AT. You do not get disc brakes at the rear of the Diesel AT MX3 though, only drum. This is because MX3 Petrol AT gets the full power of 174 HP and full torque of 380 NM while Diesel gets only deruned power of 150HP and torque of 330NM.

@autoandart8832 Thank you so much. I had this doubt since long. Even customer executives were doubtful about this in showroom.

@@MrSunny050 indeed! Best 15 lakh ex-showroom package you can get today. The most car for your money!!

@MrSunny050 this variant is still great value. It was temporarily spared from the price hike that happened last week for many variants, including the top and petrol 4x4. However I do expect Mahindra to fix the price anomaly, why this variant is so low priced, and correct that with a big jump soon.

@@ajitmoses Petrol engines need less regular running than Diesel but still twice a year is not enough. You will need someone to take care of it, do a short drive at keast ince in 2 weeks and keep it clean. Thigh support is not a problem for me. Seat has plenty of adjustment range.

@@souryarana5487 Depends, if you travel 12K kms a year, assuming a real world mileage difference of 3 kpl between peteol and diesel, you are looking at approx 500 litres extra, which comes to around 60K higher running cost per year. If you are looking at MX3 AT, you will need 4-5 years to justify the 3L difference in cost, so I would say go for Petrol. But if you are looking at MX5 or AX5L, Diesel is only 75K or so costlier than equivalent petrol and you can go for Diesel. But you will miss the smooth power and quick acceleration of the petrol. It really drives like an expensive imported petrol SUV.

@ thank you for the detailed answer my brother! Going with MX3 PAT.

Body roll is minimal. The chassis has been stiffened for safety and body roll is much less than similar Body on Frame vehicles like Innova Crysta. You can take curves on highways at reasonable speed with confidence, though you should never overdo it with such tall vehicles. There is loads of space in the back row, more than Creta and Seltos. Flat floor in back with no central hump. Seats recline nicely as well and there is lots of thigh support. So back row is super comfy. Front seats lack thigh support but hey, is that the priority? You are driving a superb vehicle which engages and involves you in the drive. It rides (glides) so well that it is not far off from a 90-lakh Rupee Jeep Wrangler on smooth highways. Powerful, commanding and smoooth!

No but it comes with controls on the steering stalk to operate fog lamps. All one needs is to fit the fog lapms afatermarket and it will work just like MX5 or AX5L

​@@sivk9963Apparently, Mahindra has not yet unlocked the feature in MX3 but an update is coming to enable this in a few months.

About 7-8 in city so far. Maybe a bit more if you are a very sedate driver. Problem is, the engine is so powerful and addictive that you cannot stop yourself from giving the accelerator a nudge now and then and shooting far ahead of everyone else the moment you spot an open stretch.

@autoandart8832For highway or long distance will it give more mileage?

If you are going for Petrol AT, MX3 is a great choice as it is incredible value for money.

@@autoandart8832At means automatica? And is it 4x4?

@@Roma_103 AT is Automatic Transmission. AT Tires is also used as an acronym to indicate All Terrain Tires which are used more often in 4X4s. So good question there!

Front sensor (audio) fitment should be possible as it was also available from Mahindra as an accessory for the 3 door Thar. 350 degree camera is more challenging as it requires video integration into the head unit. May not be possible without deep surgery😊

You can get a set of 4 of the MX5/AX5L original 18 inch alloys from the dealership for about 50K. MX3 Petrol is too good in terms of Value for every Rupee. Superb to drive, very smooth and powerful. You feel you are driving a German SUV in terms of power and smoothness. But it is a gas guzzler as you can imagine.

@@parwindersingh-od3yn No, not working yet but I expect it to in a few months once Mahindra releases the update.

Sure, will do a drive review in my next video - but let me tell you, driving it is a hoot!

Glad you liked it! I plan on making more videos like this, so stay tuned!

@@parwindersingh-od3yn Yes rear ones work very well.

@@Psgame70 Please write to Mahindra customer care and copy the manager of your dealership.

@autoandart8832 From where you got message? From Mahindra or from dealer for delivery?

@@Psgame70 From Mahindra but I made online booking.

@@CRICTONIUM-CRICKETCHANNEL In MX3 AT, Diesel is 3 lakhs more on road than Petrol. It will take you at least 7 years to recover considering FE of 10 kpl for Diesel and 7 kpl for Petrol and also opportunity cost of interest on the difference in price. Service cost of petrol will be about 10K per year - cheaper than Diesel.

@@autoandart8832you are right, I am also planning for Petrol AT Thanks anyway

@@Toll-Traveller yes, from a tire and alloy wheel dealer here in Chennai.

@autoandart8832 Hi im from Trichy. Im also getting my MX3 diesel delivered in few days. Where in Chennai have you installed? How much will it cost? What is your alloy size? I want only 18" for better ride quality. How about OEM alloys? Is Mahindra offering one? Can you help me sourcing it from Chennai ? All I need is only this change in my MX3.

@@RahulJain-rv3bp yes, in 6 months or so. The certification process is long.

@ but the brochure shows a cross sign in feature list of apple carplay. In other variants it is written coming soon, I have a doubt it will get it or not.

​@@SanKiranKReddy Ride is better than all other Body on Frames including Fortuner, Crysta, Endeavour, ScorpioN, Scorpio Classic etc. Monocoques will be better on broken tarmac but then on bad surfaces they feel fragile. The Roxx will be somewhat bouncy on bad roads, (as food as BOF can get) but you do not have to worry about damaging anything and can drive peacwfully, knowing that it is built to take abuse, unlike in Creta etc.

@@SanKiranKReddy absolutely, in all other variants (MX5, AX5L etc.), the difference between Petrol AT and Diesel AT is just Rs. 50,000. In case MX3 alone, the petrol AT is cheaper than the Diesel AT by Rs. 2,50,000! You straightaway save 2 lakhs on ex-showroom price (around 2.5 lakhs in on-road price) by going for MX3 Petrol AT over Diesel AT (MX3 P AT is Rs. 14.99 lakhs instead of Rs. 17.49 lakhs for MX3 D AT). Plus, MX3 Petrol AT comes with rear disc brakes, while the much more expensive D AT comes with only drum brakes in the rear.

@@abhishekrathore2586 In the case of MX3 Automatic, the Diesel AT costs 2.5 lakh more than MX3 Peteol AT. This is just ex-showroom - on road, will be almost 3 lakhs more. And after paying so much more, you do not full power Diesel but a weakened one compared to AX7L. With Peteol AT, you get same full power as AX7L petrol AT. Also Diesel AT MX3 does not get disc brakes, while petrol AT does.

@@autoandart8832hi is it has 4 discs ?

@@logancoutinho21 GFX - they are the best, custom made for Thar Roxx. You can get them from carhatke.com for about Rs. 4000 for a set covering front and rear row. I hate the 7D ones with multiple design patterns and textures. Just love the convenience, fit and finish of the GFX ones. I had these on my Thar 3 door too. Just remove the bucketed mat which has raised edges to trap the dirt and dump the dirt out. They are made of ruddy plastic, and can withstand mud and rough stones too and will last longer than the car itself!

Yes, however, the cabin is eerily quiet even in the MX3. One can always switch out the windshield to Acoustic one without a major cost later on (around Rs. 8000). Yes TPMS is a miss, but I never had a flat tire on my 3 door and TPMS was more of a bother throwing error messages when the pressure dipped even slightly and forcing a visit to the pump to refill. Also TPMS can be fitted aftermarket as well.

From dealer it is 12K per wheel I believe.

@@chandu2477 I got it aftermarket for 7K per wheel, 35K for a set of 5. Got lucky as someone with AX5L just upgraded at the tyre shop to larger wheels.

​If AX​5L you should have changed tyres as well to 19"? How much did tyres+ alloy costed you? @@autoandart8832

@@autoandart8832hello sir, Possible to share the tyre dealer number ? I am looking for similar option

@@shaileshreddy5024 In Chennai BM Lal Tyres. You can get their number on Google.

Go for Petrol eyes closed. Your yearly running is 6000 km only, so even in an extreme case assuming get 6 kpl on Petrol and 9 kpl on diesel, you need 1000 litres of petrol versus 670 litres of diesel per year. The difference in fuel expense per year is only 330*100+670*10 = 40,000. You will need to run the diesel for 8 years to break even with the petrol, as on-road price difference will be close to 3 lakhs between MX3 PAT and MX3 DAT. Mist importantly, you get a detuned less powerful diesel mHawk in MX3. But you get the full power petrol with 175 HP and 370NM. It is a hoot to drive!

@@sivk9963 Yes, Petrol AT is SWEEEET to drive!

7-8 KMPL City, 10 KMPL Highway

Mahindra charges 12,000 per alloy wheel I believe. I got it from tire dealer, Someone with an AX5L had just changed to larger aftermarket non-Mahindra alloys at this guy's place and I was lucky to get the stock alloys for Rs. 35,000 for a set of 5.

Thank you!

I calculated 14.99 + 18% road tax + Around 50K for insurance = 18.2L - Don't take expensive insurance from dealer, just buy it from PolicyBazaar. Also refuse any mandatory accessories. You can write to Mahindra Customer care if dealer demands you take inflated insurance from them or try to force you to buy accessories you do not need. You need not consider TCS in on-rad price as it comes back to you when you file tax returns.

@autoandart8832 noted. Thank you for the response in detail.

@autoandart8832 and you bought it from which dealership?

​@@DeepakKumar-zp9vr how much the dealer is charging you for insurance + zero dept.. Can u pls tell

You can slide the gear lever to the left and nudge it up/down to shift manually. But the vehicle will shift to a higher gear only if RPM is > 1900 or so.

Correct, it only works for downshifts, seldom works for upshifts.

@@autoandart8832 got it, thanks. Would've loved if it had paddle shifters but ah well, I'll be booking it after it comes in CSD.

@@sivk9963 ah got it, also how does the descent assist work? like does it physically brake using brakes or with downshifting for engine braking or something?

@@kumalaalaasavestaa You just turn on Hill Descent Control when going steep downhill and take your foot off the accelerator and brake. It is will brake itself as needed and get you down safely.

Thank You!

@@mayuruppini6112 Regenerate option in Trip A screen will not appear till Regen warning comes unfortunately. Best way to do what you want is take an 1 hour freeway drive at 100kph early morning, that will burn off all the soot.
