  • The XUV300 is certainly an outstanding example of VFM. It is proof that the domestic majors’ manufacturing standards (engineering integrity and build quality) are right up there with the best.

    My one grouse is the lack of an AWD option – that would have rounded off the package to present a proper SUV, and not the hatch-on-stilts that it – regretfully – still is!
