Mahindra has released the first teaser of the XUV3XO CNG, confirming its reveal for October 15, 2026. The teaser showcases a REVX-style front design and a panoramic sunroof, hinting at the equipment planned for the upcoming SUV. Also, the new model is expected to expand Mahindra’s passenger vehicle lineup with a factory-fitted CNG option in the sub-4-metre SUV segment.

Mahindra XUV3XO CNG Teaser Highlights

The teaser reveals a red XUV3XO with a body coloured panel between the headlamps and a narrow band of metallic trim around the centre of the car with the Twin Peaks logo. The SUV's exterior features black outside rear-view mirrors and LED daytime running lights, which are similar to the previous model.

A panoramic sunroof is another highlight of the teaser, suggesting the new CNG version may be equipped with higher-spec versions of the car. However, the brand hasn't specified the exact list of features and variants that will get this equipment.

The teaser concludes with the October 15, 2026, announcement of its release date. Additional details of the SUV will follow in the reveal.

Expected Engine and CNG Setup

The Mahindra XUV3XO CNG is expected to use the brand’s 1.2-litre turbocharged MPFI petrol engine. It will produce around 110 bhp and 200 Nm of torque in its petrol configuration. 

Mahindra has also not confirmed whether the SUV will feature a single-cylinder or dual-cylinder CNG setup. The final arrangement could affect the luggage space available, making boot capacity an important detail to watch when the company reveals the model.

Expected Variants and Pricing

The XUV3XO CNG is expected to be offered in REVX M and AX5 variants, although Mahindra has yet to confirm the lineup.

For reference, the existing petrol variants are priced as follows:

• REVX M: Rs. 8.59 lakh
• REVX M(O): Rs. 9.09 lakh to Rs. 9.99 lakh
• AX5: Rs. 10 lakh to Rs. 11.88 lakh

Car Junction Insights

The Mahindra XUV3XO CNG could attract buyers seeking lower running costs without giving up SUV styling and premium features. Its expected turbocharged engine and teased panoramic sunroof could strengthen its appeal, but the final equipment list, fuel efficiency and boot space remain key considerations. The brand needs to price the CNG variant competitively to attract buyers in the sub-4-metre SUV segment.
