The upcoming Mahindra XUV300 has been spotted testing and one can expect that the launch is likely to happen soon.Â
According to the spy shot, courtesy of Rushlane, there are not a lot of noticeable differences between the test mule and the outgoing model of XUV300, however, the front has been camouflaged, suggesting Mahindra may adopt the design language of the upcoming XUV400 there.
The leaked spy shot showcases that the new L-shaped alloy wheels, which were introduced recently in the XUV300, have been retained. These wheels are smaller in size than the previous ones.
For the Mahindra XUV300 facelift, the white roof, rear detailing, and all the cuts and creases will remain the same as the outgoing model, however, the brand is expected to make a lot of changes to the interior.
The current model of Mahindra XUV300 features a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, Bluesense Plus connected car tech with smartwatch connectivity feature, voice commands, and SMS readouts, tyre-position and front/rear parking sensors.
Mahindra has launched the BS6 version of XUV300 with petrol and diesel engine options. The 1.2-litre petrol unit churns out 107bhp and 200 Nm of peak torque, while the 1.5-litre diesel engine generates 113bhp and 300 Nm of peak torque.
The XUV300 comes with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard and the diesel variants (W6, W8 and W8 optional) come with 6-speed AMT. There are features like ABS with EBD, driver and passenger airbags, and ISOFIX as standard. The AMT variants get added safety features like ESP and Hill Start Assist.Â
The Mahindra XUV300 price starts at Rs 8.30 lakh for the petrol variant and goes up to Rs 12.60 lakh for the top diesel variant. The SUV competes with the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon and the Hyundai Venue in the sub-4 metre SUV segment.
Other features of the outgoing model include a rear camera with adaptive guidelines, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry, push-button start/stop, projector headlamps, micro-hybrid technology, light-sensing headlamps, in-built GPS navigation, electrically-foldable ORVMs, dual-zone climate control, auto-dimming IRVM, sunroof with anti-pinch, and cruise control.
