Mahindra is getting ready to announce the revised XUV300 facelift to the public in the upcoming month. This new compact SUV is anticipated to have significant technical upgrades over its predecessor and plenty of cosmetic updates.
The newly redesigned Mahindra XUV300 will likely draw in a large number of buyers this time around, owing to its various technological features and stylistic upgrades. Mahindra could see an abrupt shift in the compact SUV market as a result of this.
Given an emphasis on sportiness, Mahindra has redesigned the front and rear fascia’s of the new XUV300. A few prominent components, such as the striking C-shaped LED headlamps up front and the sharply connected LED tail lamps at the back, are possibly carried over from Mahindra’s BE (Born Electric) range. Expect to see a large panoramic sunroof and newly styled alloys to go with the sporty-looking SUV. Expect a redesigned digital instrument cluster on the dashboard, a touchscreen infotainment system with plenty of connectivity features, and leatherette upholstery inside.
The engine options for the new XUV 300 Facelift are probably going to be the same as those of the currently available model. The two petrol types are the 1.5-liter turbo-diesel, which produces 117 PS of power and 300 Nm of peak torque, and the 1.2-liter MPI turbo-petrol and TGDI, which provide 110 and 130 PS of power and 200 and 230 PS of torque, respectively. It is also likely to be the same transmission, which comes with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic.
