The 2025 Mahindra XUV 3XO 1.2T MX2 comes with a 6-speed manual transmission, which makes it a more engaging drive for those who enjoy being in control of every gear change. Paired with the 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine producing 82 kW, the manual setup gives you a responsive, connected feel on the road—ideal for both city driving and open-road cruising. The manual gearbox also complements the SUV’s efficiency, helping it achieve around 5.6 L/100 km, while still delivering the punchy performance you’d expect from a turbocharged engine. It’s a great balance of fun, practicality, and economy.
