Mahindra XUV300 facelift – New Spy Shots
As we can see the spy shots have revealed the rear profile of the SUV. Now although we have already spotted the SUV before, the new images can be seen with the new bumpers. It gets blacked out bumpers along with some silver elements surrounding what we guess could be fake exhaust cut-outs. Other than that, we again have the glimpse of what the SUV could look like from the rear. We can see a new tailgate with a more angular and sharp design language. The all new LED tail lamps are also visible which have inverted-comma or C-shape design. Also, going forward with the trend, Mahindra will also offer connected treatment for the tail lamps. What else can be seen are the new alloy wheels on the test car which look more stylish than before. Finally, the test car can also be seen with rear disc brakes.
What else do we know?
The new Mahindra XUV300 will also get design changes on the front. We have already spotted a test car with XUV700-like LED DRLs. The interiors were also spotted which revealed the new touchscreen system. But, the overall design of the centre console was very similar to the current model. Talking about the features, we are expecting the new XUV300 to come with – a digital instrument cluster, ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera, ambient lighting and a premium sound system. Also, a test car of the XUV300 facelift was equipped with radar for ADAS.
Mahindra XUV300 facelift – Engine specifications
The engine options for the new XUV300 is likely to remain unchanged. It will continue with the same 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine producing 108bhp and 200Nm of torque. The other option would be a 1.5-litre diesel engine with 115bhp and 300Nm torque. Both these engines are paired with a 6-speed manual and AMT transmissions. There is also a 1.5-litre TGDi engine on offer which produces 128bhp and 250Nm of peak torque. It comes mated with a sole 5-speed transmission only. However, Mahindra is likely to offer an all new 6-speed torque converter gearbox with this engine.
Launch and pricing
The XUV300 facelift has been spotted multiple times revealing new features and production ready elements. However, the launch can be expected in the first half of 2024. Regarding pricing, we can expect a hike of Rs 50k to 60k, depending upon the variants. Currently, the XUV300 starts from Rs 9.39 lakh (on-road, Mumbai) and goes all the way up to Rs 17.79 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
