You should consider the Mahindra XUV 3XO. The Mahindra SUV comes well-equipped, offers a spacious cabin and is mechanically well sorted. Your concern about the light interiors is correct; however, you can opt for the RevX variant, which comes with all-black interiors.
The XUV 3XO RevX is powered by a strong 131hp, 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine that can be had with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. If your usage is primarily in the city, it will be worth opting for the automatic for the convenience.
Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX prices range from Rs 10.86 lakh for the manual to Rs 11.97 lakh for the automatic (ex-showroom).
