TorqueNM presenter giving a thumbs up beside a red Mahindra XUV 3XO ZNG under the headline XUV 3XO ZNG, 5-star CNG SUV

The XUV 3XO ZNG variants start at ₹9.99 lakh for the MX Edge and reach ₹12.27 lakh for the RevX A, and the Mahindra XUV 3XO ZNG has earned five stars at Bharat NCAP. Mahindra began test drives on 15 October 2026 and opened bookings and deliveries on 20 October. This guide is the written companion to our full video. It covers each variant, the turbo-CNG engine, the boot you give up, how the ZNG compares with the Tata Nexon iCNG and the Maruti Brezza CNG, and one important update: the safety rating arrived after we recorded the video.

Watch the full video above for the complete walkthrough. The article below adds the five-star result and sources from Mahindra and the launch coverage.

Gearbox: six-speed manual only, with front-wheel drive.
Claimed mileage: 24.7 km/kg, which Mahindra calls certified.
Boot: 270 litres usable, against 364 litres on the petrol car, because of the twin cylinders.
Safety: five stars at Bharat NCAP, announced on 6 November 2026.

Variants and prices

These are the ex-showroom prices published at launch, from V3Cars. The feature lists are V3Cars’s summary of the launch material, not a Mahindra feature sheet, so confirm details with a dealer.

RevX Edge (O)	₹10.79 lakh	Panoramic sunroof, automatic lights and wipers, keyless start, power-fold mirrors, leatherette, dual-tone roof

The ZNG engine and the boot trade-off

Mahindra’s own figures, in its press release of 6 November, are 82 kW and 200 Nm, and some outlets print that as 111 or 112 PS. It is manual only, so there is no CNG automatic. The twin-cylinder layout, with about 60 litres of water capacity under the floor, leaves 270 litres of usable boot against 364 litres on the petrol XUV 3XO, a loss of 94 litres. The CNG-specific features include a 10-bar injection system, an automatic switch to petrol when the gas runs low, a fast-fill valve and gas-leak detection that switches to petrol.

Safety: an update since our video

We recorded the video on 17 October, before the crash-test result. On 6 November Mahindra announced that the XUV 3XO ZNG scored five stars at Bharat NCAP, with 29.36 out of 32 for adult protection and 45 out of 49 for child protection, up from 43 out of 49 on the 2024 petrol and diesel test. Autocar India’s report has the breakdown. Six airbags, stability control and ISOFIX are standard. We could not confirm a 360-degree camera on the ZNG, which our video’s description mentions, because the launch coverage lists only a rear parking camera. We also found no sign of ADAS on the ZNG, which Autocar India ties to the top petrol and diesel trims, so do not buy a ZNG expecting either.

XUV 3XO ZNG against the Nexon iCNG and the Brezza CNG

Item	XUV 3XO ZNG	Tata Nexon iCNG	Maruti Brezza CNG
Engine	1.2 turbo, about 111 PS, 200 Nm	1.2 turbo, 100 PS, 170 Nm	1.5 petrol, about 88 PS, 121.5 Nm
Claimed mileage	24.7 km/kg	24 km/kg	26.90 km/kg
Boot	270 litres	321 litres	328 litres (single source)
Price (ex-showroom, approx.)	₹9.99 to ₹12.27 lakh	About ₹9.24 to ₹13.66 lakh	About ₹9.3 to ₹11.76 lakh (sources differ)
Gearbox	Manual	Manual	Manual
Bharat NCAP	Five stars (adults 29.36, children 45)	Five stars (October 2024)	Five stars (July 2026)

Nexon and Brezza figures are the weakest in this table, because prices vary by city and date, one Brezza figure rests on a single source, and their five-star ratings come from earlier tests that may not have covered the CNG versions, so treat them as approximate and check with the makers. The pattern is clear all the same: the ZNG has the most power and torque, the Brezza the highest claimed mileage, and the Nexon the most boot space with a wider variant range.

Our verdict from the video

For performance: the XUV 3XO ZNG.
For mileage: the Brezza CNG.
For family luggage and boot practicality: the Nexon iCNG.
Our preferred ZNG variant: the AX5, at ₹11.19 lakh.

The ZNG’s biggest advantage is its claimed turbo-CNG performance, not class-leading mileage or an automatic. If power matters, that is the reason to buy it, and the new five-star rating strengthens the case. Real-world mileage will differ from the claimed 24.7 km/kg, so use claimed numbers only to compare cars. We also covered the car before launch in our XUV 3XO CNG preview, which this launch has superseded.

A note on our video

The video predates the crash-test result and mentions a 360-degree camera and ADAS availability that we could not verify for the ZNG. Prices, power, mileage and boot figures match Mahindra’s and the launch coverage. We could not read the video’s full script here, so the sources linked are the basis for every figure on this page, and the owner’s picks above are opinions.

Buy now or wait?

If you want a CNG compact SUV with real performance and a proven safety result, the ZNG is available now, with deliveries from 20 October. If boot space or the lowest running cost is your priority, look at the Nexon or the Brezza first. No ZNG automatic is announced, so wait only if you need one and are willing to wait for an unannounced model. We have not driven the ZNG for this article, which uses Mahindra’s figures and published reports. See also the car news section and the full videos page.
