Our View
Interestingly, this is not the first time someone has gifted a Mahindra XUV3XO to their parents. I can recall at least two other cases where prominent personalities did the same. Firstly, Pratap Bose, Mahindra’s Design Head gifted the compact SUV to his mom. Secondly, Bigg Boss fame Manisha Rani purchased one for her father as well. It looks like this SUV has found a special place in celebrities’ hearts as gifts to their parents. In addition to that, it continues to be a popular vehicle among the masses. Note that it belongs to one of the most crowded segments in our market. Hence, the Indian auto giant needs to ensure that it offers top-notch amenities in it to draw customers in.
