XUV 3XO CNG price
Ex-showroom prices announced by Mahindra:
| Variant | Ex-showroom price |
|---|---|
| MX Edge ZNG | Rs 9.99 lakh |
| REVX Edge (O) ZNG | Rs 10.79 lakh |
| AX5 ZNG | Rs 11.19 lakh |
| REVX A ZNG | Rs 12.27 lakh |
The CNG costs about Rs 90,000 more than the matching petrol trims (REVX EDGE (O) petrol manual Rs 9.89 lakh; AX5 petrol manual Rs 10.30 lakh). The petrol XUV 3XO range runs from Rs 7.79 lakh to Rs 15.04 lakh. Pre-launch estimates had pointed to about Rs 1 lakh over petrol, which turned out close. The earlier report that CNG would come on REVX M and AX5 was only partly right: the final line-up is MX Edge, REVX Edge (O), AX5 and REVX A.
Will it cost more to run or less?
Mahindra quotes a certified 24.7 km/kg. At that figure and a CNG price of about Rs 87 per kg (a recent Delhi price quoted by V3Cars), fuel costs roughly Rs 3.5 per km. Every Rs 10 change in the CNG price moves that by about Rs 0.40 per km. Your city's CNG price and real-world mileage decide the actual saving.
How to book
Bookings open on October 20, 2026 at authorised Mahindra dealerships and online at auto.mahindra.com, and deliveries start the same day. Test drives began on October 15. Mahindra has not announced a booking token amount, so check with your dealer. Be wary of anyone asking for a "pre-booking" payment before October 20.
