TUV 300 plus facelift spotted testing again
The TUV 300 plus facelift has been spotted testing again on our roads. The car is mini SUV that gets the same chassis as the TUV 300. But the rear overhangs are bigger so as to accommodate a third row. Mahindra cars such as the TUV 300 and the Bolero are hugely popular in rural areas and this is where the car is aimed at. The car is largely based on the TUV 300 that is a sub four metre SUV without the additional third row of this car. Due to their rugged nature, the Mahindra cars can take on the rural terrain with ease and the TUV 300 plus will be able to do so whilst carrying nine passengers on board.
Design and comfort
The TUV 300 has recently gotten a facelift and the TUV 300 plus will also get most of the changes that were seen on the TUV 300 facelift. The front headlights get changes in their design. It gets a few more chrome elements now. It also gets a revised front grille and a new bumper. Even the rear-end could get minor styling updates. Comfort wise, you do see a bit of an adjustment to be done in the third row as this kind of a seating layout is never said to be very comfortable as it gets two side rows facing each other for the third row of seats especially for long rides and it will seem to get cramped up here if all of the passengers seated in the third row are adults.
TUV 300 plus facelift features
The TUV 300 facelift has been sold by the company to be a tough vehicle and tough it is with good highway stability and a tough body along with decent safety features such as dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD, collapsible steering column, sided intrusion beams, digital immobilizer, driver seat belt reminder hazard lights on panic braking. The top spec of the car also comes with features such as leatherette seats and an audio system.
Engine
The TUV 300 Plus will be powered by a BS6 version of the 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine that powers the current model. The power figures are expected to be about the same. On the present car, it produces 118 Bhp and 280 Nm of torque. It only gets a six speed manual transmission as standard.
TUV 300 plus facelift pricing
The car after getting the design updates along with the BS6 engines is expected to cost more than the current car. Currently, the Mahindra TUV 300 Plus costs Rs 9.92-11.42 lakh (ex-showroom).
