Post the facelift improvements, one now sees the safety checklist upgraded with six airbags, brakes with discs all around having ABS and EBD on top of that ESC as standard. It almost ties with Level 2 ADAS in the more expensive variants, with lane-keeping assist, forward crash warning, and adaptive cruise control completing the picture; to top it all, one gets rear parking assistance with a 360-degree camera, TPMS, and ISOFIX anchors making this vehicle just about the safest in the subcompact SUV category.

Continuing the robust engine line-up of the XUV 3XO, with few changes, the vehicle continues to be powered by petrol motors-one of which is the 1.2-liter turbo petrol (111 PS and 200 Nm), and the second one, 1.2-liter T-GDI turbo petrol (131 PS and 230 Nm)-plus, the 1.5L four-cylinder diesel unit (117 PS and 300 Nm). It offers three shift mechanisms, namely, the 6-speed manual and the 6-speed AMT for the diesel and a new 6-speed torque converter automatic sourced from Aisin, for the T-GDI petrol. The engines register decent fuel efficiency of about 18-21.2 kmpl and offer peppy performance for cruising on city streets and highways.
