The Mahindra petrol cars lineup is still relevant to its plan in India, even as it expands rapidly into the world of electric vehicles. Starting with the XUV 3XO up to Scorpio-N, Thar Roxx, the company has petrol variants in multiple categories of SUVs.
It currently has a fine blend of old and new products in its stable. While Mahindra has expanded into the electric category for the time being, the petrol SUVs have an equally important place in its portfolio.
Mahindra Petrol Cars: Current Lineup in India
| Model | Segment | Petrol Availability |
| XUV 3XO | Compact SUV | Yes |
| Thar | Lifestyle SUV | Yes |
| Thar Roxx | 5-door SUV | Yes |
| Scorpio-N | Large SUV | Yes |
| XUV 7XO | Three-row SUV | Yes |
Mahindra offers a wide range of SUVs ranging from compact SUVs to lifestyle and large family SUVs, where petrol variants can be found in some of these SUV ranges.
XUV 3XO Introduces Petrol Power into Compact SUV Segment
The XUV 3XO is the first step from Mahindra in introducing its petrol SUV line-up. The turbo petrol engine gives an SUV performance-oriented feel despite falling in a segment where SUVs like Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue and Maruti Brezza dominate.
The XUV 3XO is currently priced at ₹7.79 lakh onwards, but depends on variants and powertrains.
Thar and Thar Roxx Continue to Offer Petrol Power
The lifestyle SUV range from Mahindra also carries on with the petrol offerings in form of Thar and Thar Roxx. The SUV range aims to target people who want a blend of an SUV’s aesthetics and performance.
Thar Roxx comes with a five-door design while the three-door Thar completes the offering.
Petrol Still Important for Mahindra in India
While Mahindra’s move towards expanding its EV range does not imply that the company will stop manufacturing internal combustion SUVs, its existing lineup includes petrol models as well as diesel and EV models to give buyers an option depending on their needs, budget and charging infrastructure.
Such multi-powertrain approach is especially important in India, where there are significant differences in the charging infrastructure and habits among cities and regions.
Scorpio-N and XUV 7XO for Larger Families
For customers interested in larger petrol SUVs, Mahindra offers the Scorpio-N with petrol and diesel powertrains available with manual and automatic transmissions. The XUV 7XO is another higher-end family SUV with three rows from Mahindra, which comes with a petrol engine.
