I bought xuv 3 xo in June.. I would recommend anyone to buy Nexon anyday..
@@knsandy Any particular reason to buy Nexon instead of 3xo ?
Would be a miracle if a tata car ever won a comparison test on Autocar India
Exactly my thoughts 😅
Others are just better
Autocar always downgrades Tata cars
Thats great, there are already enough Tata PR youtubers all around the youtube platform, great that there are still neutral youtubers around
Brother, autocar is not neutral. They gush in hyundai cars@@25StevyLovesDaddyTata
It’s all fun and games until that white interior in 3XO becomes dirty and you’re fighting for your life to clean all the dirt
It's really easy to clean with wipes actually. I was scared too initially
@@henrystevens3993 no it isn't. Maintaining it is a giant pain in the ass if you have small kids.
@@90zkid Then don't let your kids be small.
@@samarjitmechielet me guess, u got a time machine ?
Well I have a 700 with light interior and it's great even after 2 years.
Yes, it can be difficult if they are soiled again and again but then not everyone has small kids.
Light interiors are a better bet, they get a little less hot in summers and the cabin feels more airy too with a greater sense of space.
Both these cars are great options but I am inclined towards the XUV, it's a better in my opinion.
As a xuv300 diesel owner I'll suggest Nexon in bs6.2 form because there is no need for exhaust fluid and mileage is considerably higher than xuv
True for 1.5 Diesel Adblue feels unnecessary
Yeah but after 10000 kms that engine = truck engine
@@mandarvthakur I own a Nexon Fearless Plus S Diesel manual and it Runs great and strong . Happy customer here
My brother have Nexon diesel bs6 with 80000kms on odo though sound rough it's reliable engine maintenance is lesser than xuv300 diesel@@mandarvthakur
@@mandarvthakur Newer Nexon Revetorq diesels are pretty great. Just avoid the petrols
Own a nexon pure , petrol version. Engine performance is good for a 3 cyl, surprisingly its much more refined than its previous generation. Sport mode is fun. Getting an average of 18-19 on highway & 14 in the city. But nexon diesel is a different beast altogether. Its torquey, more fuel efficient & super fun to drive. Always wanted to buy a diesel but had to go for petrol due to the 10yr law. And yes the ergonomics of nexon'n cabin are poor, no cup holders & stupidly placed usb ports. Xuv has great engines, but it looks horrible. Looks as if a 5yr designed the front of the car.
After u buy the car, how it looks outside is the problem the public has to deal with. What really matters is the refinement and overall driving experience.
@@taurus50000 no, I have to walk up to and come out of that vehicle everyday. If it looks ugly to me, I'm not buying it no matter how refined engine it has.
Idk which city you're from. In Mumbai it doesn't cross 10kmpl.
@@hiteshsalian8259 I'm from lucknow, we don't have that much traffic here.
10 years registration validity doesn't make any sense on BS6 diesel engine as CO2 Emission is very much the same as petrol engines. My state has 15 years validity on diesel engines and I own one.
3XO and xuv300 are the same cars I don’t know what have they even changed 🤷
Infotainment and features are drastically changed
I guess they reduced the spare tyre size to fell us like they have increased the boot space😂
They have made it uglier!
Name
Also mention the fact that mahindra cars just randomly breakdown in the middle of the road and the assistance doesn’t arrive for hours
That's more of a problem with tata
Exactly 💯 @@anushbhandary1441
Internet is filled with Tata car owners complaining about 3rd class service, 3rd class quality of fit and finish, random break downs. Tata cars are unreliable machines.
Just drive both cars and you'll realise how much superior 3XO is!!!! In any powetrain!
When it's all said and done, Tata Nexon is still the king of all Compact SUVs❤
Is it just me or others also find both car over designed. 3x0 has all sorts of elements all over the place, and nexon sharp from front is massively curvy from b pillar onwards making it very dipropionate . TBH, i have always hated the extremely raked window line in Nexon, which makes its rear look very bulky and overall the car looks as if it is in a squatting position.
But all things fine, where is the rubber pad of the brake pedal in nexon :P
The new Nexon design is very minimalistic. Not at all over designed.
You are not alone
3xo to an extent yes but the Nexon, not really. It’s pretty simple and neat imo.
I second you
Exactly my view. 3XO is just too loud and off putting (especially the small diamond patterns everywhere). Nexon's window line is too raked. The rear ends abruptly on both.
1:47 Not gonna lie people do love that body hugging seats
1. XUV300 is not a homegrown Mahindra, it is a Tivoli of Korea.
2. That so called premium white interior is disgusting, even though you tried to clean it up there was still dirty hand grime marks on the roof handles of the rear seats.
XUV300 wins because it has a worse rear seat, poor boot, slower, less efficient, work in progress UI, weird design, out dated looking interior and a overly light EPS. Understood.
In that case, Nexon has its heart straight from Italy(Fiat). Worst rear space, unrefined Engine. compared to Tata, Mahindra has better quality and reliability
@@arunvishnum.e3156haha... Nexon uses Indian engines developed by Tata motors (proudly)
@@abhiram.b8848 It doesnt, the engine is developed as a JV between Tata and Austrian company AVL. On the contrary, XUV 3XO uses Mahindra's own designed and developed MHawk engines.
@@TRITON_X mHawk engine is developed by the AVL as well. AVL made the same engine for Safari and Scorpio.
@@TRITON_X who said these non-sense?? Tata's 1.5L revotorq diesel,1.2L Revotron, 1.2L Hyperion & the upcoming 1.5L Hyperion..Each of these are developed inhouse by Tata motors without any collaboration or JV whereas Mahindra had collaborations AVL for the development of their GDI engines and the Mhawk Diesels... Just Google it..
The speaker quality in 3XO is third class
3XO is a copy paste of the old variant 👎
Obviously !! Its not an all-new car it's a facelift of xuv300
No offense to anyone, but I feel that car reviews are becoming overly critical, focusing on minor flaws that don't really matter. For example, having a slightly high boot loading lip isn't a big deal. And scrutinizing audio and creature comforts? Come on, the basic and more prominent objective is to drive the car from one place to another, that's what's most important. If you ask me, start the review with that first. Also, in my opinion, not just the design, but the entire car experience should be subjective. We're all different, and no one can accurately predict what people will like.
Isn’t that a good thing brother?
Cars these days are very decently built in general that the difference and the edge a car gets over another is wafer thin and highly dependent on the buyers preference.
Let’s enjoy the options without having to discount cars due to disastrous flaws
@@kunalkavthekar3747 I see your point, but I still believe that engine performance and drive quality should take precedence over creature comforts. At the end of the day, a car's primary function is to provide a great driving experience. While comfort is nice, the core driving aspects are what truly matter when evaluating a vehicle.
I also feel people are more open about their preferences now. Just look at the demand, cars are piling up in dealer yards. It’s not that people aren’t buying, but at what cost? Now a days, the price of a car is not directly proportional to what it offers.
I agree with you, creature comforts aren’t that important, in fact, about 70% of people don’t use them in their lifetime (myself included), which makes them a waste of money.
I also find Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and infotainment systems in general to be useless. You still need your smartphone to connect, so why not just buy a phone stand and use it? Anyways, infotainment systems, for the most part, are used for maps and music only, nothing else. Nowadays, I prefer to buy a decent car without all the unnecessary embellishments and just drive it for its entire lifespan, no headaches at all.
@@tanyachatterjee1544 That's true, but we can't overlook safety. The two most important factors are safety and engine, no question about it. Everything else is just marketing tactics.
@@saiekrishna Absolutely, safety is the most important factor. I'm not at all concerned with speed, so a reliable engine is more than sufficient for me.
Mahindra still needs to work on their technology. The infotainment system lags a lot and is not very responsive 🙁
Ya bro too much lags😢
I have AX5L and works excellent for me
I have a diesel 3x0 , excellent car but with in 3 months dpf is giving me headache! car is in service center .
Bhai I planning to buy 3xo diesel but worried about dpf issues and future of diesel cars in india...please share your experience with dpf issue....how soon it's getting clogged and what it's solution
When dpf light glows make the car rocket in 1st & 2nd gear only. Shift up when the DPF light turns off
Glad you have asked, dpf issue isn’t being highlighted enough. on 30th may I took delivery of an ax5 diesel 3x0. Now it’s at service center since 23rd September. I have done 3600 kms till. Except for a 1500kms long trip rest have been short trips . In a week usually I drive 6 days 10kms per day and 1 day day 100-150 .
So far in these 3 and half month of owner ship I love the car , it drives will , it’s peppy, it’s comfortable and one of the best dynamically sorted . I switch between a Tata nano , Innova crysta and sonet and 3x0 and I like the 3x0 overall , sonet is good in highways but the stiffer suspension is hard on slow speed bad roads .
Coming to the pain part : so far had to do regen 5 times in the last 3 and a half month . The first 3 times probably with one a month . Last 2 times with in a span of 3 days .
One 13th sep: I had driven 80kms enthusiastically. Regen popped on 15th night , did park regen 16th morning , it ran for about 20mins on 3000rpm . Then again regen priompted on 19th morning , did park regen again and register a complaint to Mahindra .
@@indianautotalk thanks brother for sharing your experience so far
I have bs6.2 xuv300 diesel there is no dpf issue at all I just cover 5000kms @@ankitkumargangwar201
Kia Sonet 1.5 U2CRDi GTX+ diesel automatic is the best pick out of this 4 diesel compact suv's Hyundai Venue, Mahindra 3XO AMT & Tata Nexon diesel AMT and we are luck to book Kia Sonet.
Even I bought same Sonet variant and variant in Gudi Padwa completely satisfied with it best decision 👍
If you are looking for Auto, then you can blindly go for Kia or Hyundai.
However am surprised with my Nexon Petrol DCA performance which is on par with Hyundai DCT.
Go for either Mahindra 3XO, Kia Sonet, & Hyundai Venue, for best deal but avoid the rest & 1.2l VTVT opt.s on both Sonet & Venue. You wouldn't regret this decision.
Kia is so overhyped!! I was really hoping it would meet our expectations. But it turned out to be nothing more than a jacked up hatchback. Also in India, they are branding every car as an SUV. It should be 4X4 to be an SUV. Only Thar seems to be the real SUV.
@@anusha_r1 But 2WD are also suv and they mostly soft roader . U can’t expect much from compact SUVs they are what they are small suv with less price with better looks and ground clearance….
why that charger port called out like it’s a big issue ?
We put the wire once and it stays forever there it’s not an issue for me at all
Doesn’t matter how many positives of Nexon over 3xo are shown in this video, Autocar India will always declare a Non Tata Car as winner. I think this has become a universal fact.
Tata nexon is 100 times better than mahindra 3xo
Mahindra service is 1000 times better than tata
I have XUV 300 and from the outside it does look better than the 3XO. 3X0' s front styling doesn't match with the rear and the dashboard has tech but the design feels outdated and it also does not match with the styling of the car. Round steering wheels look ugly. Except the design everything is good.
I agree I too own xuv300 diesel xuv300 front is very bold and look larger than 3x0
Xuv400 looks better.
Being Xuv 3xo owner! My heart still beats for Nexon ❤
Very nice to hear about the headlight illumination and audio system…
If you all guys have seen how smartly in the autocar India makers ignore the point about the boot space of xuv300 compared to nexon didn't even clearly mentioned that yes there is a negative point on 3x so because of which the sales were affected in the older variant as well is because of its boot space and Mahindra hasn't done anything when it comes to boot space it's just the same which it was in the older variants but autocar India which carries an anti Tata narrative all the time has not mention this point and then also has declared 3xo was the winner whereas xxxo doesn't even have ventilated seats a function which is very important in Indian roads rather than having a panoramic sunroof
Go for Kia Sonet diesel HTX automatic 👌🏼 no dpf issues better than 3xo, better than nexon as better infotainment system
Even I bought same Sonet variant gtx+ diesel auto variant in Gudi Padwa completely satisfied with it best decision 👍
I have booked HTX diesel automatic sonet and planning to buy in coming navratri so is this a perfect one? Also, What about the city, highway and overall milage. Does dfp issue occurs and stiff suspension bother you?
@@akshaychoudhary5815 For highway drive Kia is unsafe. Build quality is poor.
Sonet vs 3x0
Better engine - 3X0
Looks - Sonet
Built quality- 3xo
Space - 3xo
Features- 3xo
Adas - 3xo
Where does sonet win apart from looks?

Tata > Mahindra I don’t make the rules
Cycle > Tatta I don't make the rules
Mahendra any day 😊
Service Center > Tata. I don't make the rules
Mahindra tin ka dabba 😂
Get a brain check 😂
Your brain its Tin ka dabba
please get out of your luxurious premium Alto and go to an eye doctor... i'l pay for the expenses
I already know the 3xo is the better one. But I'm going to stay far away from diesels.
EV sector itself is an eco friendly scam. Diesel cars hurt authorities because they are an asset, not a commodity. They last 6-7 lakh km easily, are fuel-efficient and performance-oriented, and don't fit into the 5-7 year rebuying cycle that keeps tax collectors, banks, and brands happy. Rest choice is all yours
one of the consultation told me to buy 3XO ax5 diesel please help me which one should I buy my budget is 15 lpa and I want safety and good mileage suv car please suggest 🙏🏻
The old Saumil is back! I had cribbed about an underprepared script and rushed delivery in the last video (Mini Countryman EV), but zero complaints here!
Also loved, loved the additional tests - the specialist review of the infotainment systems, the cameras reviews, and rear space accommodations with live souls. Great work!
Hope you will also do something similar with the EV versions of these 2 brands. Unless you folks have already done it and I have somehow missed the video!
Glad you liked the video 😊. We've compared the Mahindra XUV400 and Tata Nexon EV, which you can see here: ruclips.net/video/Lxg5Oxl_1WI/видео.htmlsi=MAAt7ffcP2S-KVdo
The 3xo does not only have a really confusing name but also the single most unfortunate front facia that i’ve ever seen in India.
3XO is overrated and overpriced, doesn’t justify the price
And Nexon engine is TATTI.
3XO is overrated with 130 BJP engine and 250 NM torque 😂😂😂 bro you should drive a cab instead
Drive it once maybe that will justify 😊
@@RajeevKumar-hl2up the lower variants are value for money with the kind of punchy engines they offer, but the ax lineup is overpriced. For the price of a 3x0 top variant , u can buy a decently specced 4.3 m car.
You deserve a800cc car with cng. 3xo is having the best engine in terms of power even better than a segment above creta's.
3X0 interior tend to get dirty very frequent,, such a headache in Indian conditions and ventilated seats are a big miss considering the extreme hot days in India.
Can you tell which diesel automatic is better between nexon and mahindra
Ax5 disels amt Vs creative diesel amt.
Tata Mahindra= Headache
Features = Korean
Fun to drive, high maintenance = European
Peace of mind, reliability = JAPANESE
Thanks for the valuable information you shared with us. Try to speak clearly and louder in your future vlogs bec some words were not clear.
By considering Nexon’s negative points like throttle response, gear shift lag, Little vibration inside the cabin, worst service complaints, Diesel engine refinement is not up to the mark. I would go for 3xo which scores high expect some small software issue but that can be sorted out. 3xo is cleary a winner. you cant compare mahindra’s diesel with Tata’s diesel.
Your outdoor shooting locations were better
Now we need the 3xo vs Sonnet
3xo has too much of design and cuts going around
Perks of modern cutting machines
What do you think is the period upto which you can sustain short city trips before the dpf light coming up? Is it like a week of say 10 kms in the city daily and then you hit the highway on the weekend and your filter cleans up?
Can we still buy diesel cars some people forecast it will banned in next 5 to 10 years.. kindly advise..thanks
Bhai Nexon kaa brake pedal rubber test drive vehicle mein bhi nukal jata hai kya??😅😅😅
As a xuv 300 and Nexon owner I say 3x0 look very bad it looks smaller than it is
I agree
8:00 Everyone has their own choices and personally I would go for the Windsor EV Essence variant which comes at 16.47L on-road.
"With that out of the way it's time for the verdict" Indeed, these two should've been out of the way and make way for the Hyundai Sonet Torque Converter Diesel. That's the actual winner amoung the Diesels. She's the true Win Diesel. How could you forget her in this comparo?
Mahindra should give another interior option for 3XO as they just done with Thar Roxx
Can someone tell the reason of hate to xuv 3xo. Its like 1 step ahead of premium, technology in the category. Still the hate? I was planning of buying the ax7l manual this November 😊
If TATA and Mahindra team up and produce a car?? That would be a great output
Both are best to use, Safe to drive and much more.
Engine Mahindra + design tata=❤
I want a side by side comparison video of 3XO and Curvv
Curv dynamics is poor bro take 3xo
TATA
Positives -
Interior
Infotainment
Boot space
Cons
Loud and lag engine
Blind spot at driver seat
Service
I think it's a big hypocrisy on M&M and TAMO for justifying EVs as environment friendly on one end and yet continuing to provide Diesel vehicles especially in sub4 segment.
don't like category of this vehicle is this a hatchback is this a SUV or a crossover??
Only nexon ❤ best product
People keep complaining about inconvenient USB ports in cars. But then you just plug in your wire once and forget about it. Who in their right mind keeps removing and plugging the cables frequently? it's a simple fix. Buy a Rs. 100 USB C cable for your car and just forget about it.
White Interior is the Future
Tata Safari adopted it already
How about comparing the Petrol versions of both the cars as most people prefer to buy the Petrol versions only.
Beautiful comparison ❤
I generally thought when I saw the black plume of smoke coming from behind my car. Naturally, Turbo is a huge "sucker' over there, but my Mitsu 4D56 is renowned for its adaptability to a wide variety of climates and elevations, excelling in both low-lying and high-lying areas. Even with lower-quality diesel fuels, its mechanical fuel injection systems (found in older models, like ours in India) perform better than some of the more advanced cars. Never expect such dependability from your never-BS6 Diesel. Are these Mahindra`s capable of adapting with lower quality Diesel? I guess then only you might do this review.
light colored interior are good for 3 months in indian conditions..
3XO is bestest !!
Learn grammar first man
@@DpnDebBarma I just exaggerated. I know there is no word like bestest.
3XO is nice and good, but nexon is mature and better. Nexon is the king
Nexon diesel also comes with a variant priced at 9.99L ex showroom. You shouldn't have missed that! :(
Great review
Took test drive of xuv 3xo .... What is the use of longest wheelbase if rear seat comfort is below average...... Front seats are bitter disappointment too..... Otherwise the vehicle is good go
8:13 nexon has smart plus variant as base in diesel which is priced at 9.99
Mahindra 3xo need diesel torque converter automatic transmission.
I think you need to inform Mahindra about this model cars.some extra customer's will purchase this catagory cars.
These ever repeating ads from mmt just get on to one's nerves!
2:26 is that the guy from Rolling Pistons ? 😮
Nexon diesel is best in segment 🎉
Sorry for picking
But that is convex
R. I. P. Ratan Tata ji❤
Actually I never used cup holder in central control though, for me its useless
Sasta version of Motorinc 😂😂
I would say think twice before buying any diesel car in this era with emission norms getting very stringent.
However between these two i would recommend 3XO over nexon.
Major problem with nexon diesel is DPF related issues as it doesn't come with addition of urea / adblu.
DPF issue is faced by many customers with nexon and regret buying it.
Wrong data autocar....xuv 3xo faster in acceleration test....
Our data is as per our GPS-based testing gear. What is your source?
In petrol?
I guess, nobody cares about car designs anymore!!
Haha, read my mind and brought this video comparing my 2 options 👍😊😊
Don't believe in this, M&M only top hand vehicles only delivered, i was booked XUV 3XO car last 5 -Month back 1st day only i was booked may15th but they are delivered only top hand vehicles delivered. They are not ready to deliver mid and below variants, so i was cancelled 😔,,, now i was booked to mg Windsor ev car.
😂😂you praised more tata and in workstation you mentioned Mahendra... Really clever
7:26 why good lighting for Mahindra not same for nexon
Its the Kia sonet Diesel AT
Oo boy... kia sonet Diesel AT is just 🔥 only that seating 3 at back is a challenge
Cars are being made more cuter than Macho😂
Giving the light coloured theme as the only option in 3xo is the foolish strategy of Mahendra
N compare with curvv with all diesal all of the price category amt & mt
There is a smart plus diesel engine
3xo is one of the finest car to drive but Mahindra sucks on fir and finish. I am driving 3 xo from lat one month enjoyed every km of it but rattling noise from roof around infotainment will leave you disappointed. Moreover Mahindra dealer as well as Mahindra employees unwillingness and incapability to rectify issues is big headache. @autocar @mahindra
This white interior will be dirty till you reach your home from showroom 🤣😂
If I could critique the same way you critique Tata cars I would say please upgrade your video quality to today's age since your video quality seems to be "dated".
3xo is the ugliest design and white interiors is really a dumb choice😂😂😂
Nexon Diesel ❤
Both sucks, sonet diesel is way way way better
Except...
Even I bought same Sonet and gtx+ auto variant in Gudi Padwa completely satisfied with it best decision 👍
*bought
Sonet feel smaller and a segment below in dynamics
But both are 5 start car😂
Tata❤ Mahindra ❤
Old model Toyota Innova is better than these cars
Xuv3xo is better
THIS IS REALLY WRONG, ALL STRONG POINTS LIKE HEAVY TORQUE, FAST PACE & ALL FEATURES AVAILABILITY AND VERY IMPORTANT MORE EFFICENT THAT 3XO, STILL HOW 3XO IS WINNER ? PLS EXPLAIN JUST A PLUSH INTERIOR & AIRY CABIN AND FIRMER SUSPENSION DECIDES ON YOUR WINNER OR WHAT
