Mahindra XUV300 Facelift – Price expectation

Talking about the current pricing of the XUV300, it has been priced between Rs 9.39 lakh to Rs 17.79 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). Whereas its prime competitor, the Tata Nexon, has been priced between Rs 9.60 lakh to Rs 19.08 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). Do keep in mind that even the Nexon received a comprehensive facelift in 2023. Another competitor that received a facelift is the Kia Sonet. The Sonet comes with features like ADAS and has been priced between Rs 9.39 lakh to Rs 18.95 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). Similarly, we can expect the upcoming Mahindra SUV to be priced between Rs 9.50 lakh to Rs 19 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). And the first in segment feature we mentioned above is the panoramic sunroof. The XUV300 facelift could come with a panoramic sunroof and so the pricing can vary accordingly.

What else do we know?

Although we are yet to see clear images of the XUV300 facelift, the spy shots have revealed some key design highlights. Upfront, we can see new grille and bumpers along with XUV700 like inverted LED DRLs. The headlamps will also be new and will sit on a slightly raised bonnet (something we noticed on the test car). The side profile will largely remain the same but will get new alloy wheels design. The rear profile however can be seen with major changes. The overall boot lid could be slightly different along with new rear bumpers. Also, at the rear we will get connected LED tail lamps with sequential turn indicators for both front and rear.

Mahindra XUV300 Facelift – Interior

Fortunately, we have some clear images of the interior of the XUV300. The dashboard was partially covered but we do have some hints at the new design elements. Firstly, the upcoming XUV300 will likely get an XUV700-like steering wheel. Also, we are expecting a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen system along with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. We can even see the centre console which looks very similar to the XUV700 centre console. The interiors can be seen with a beige and black interior theme which will make the cabin feel airy. Lastly, we are exepcting features like – panoramic sunroof, rear AC vents, ventilated seats, 360-degree camera, ambient lighting, and premium sound speakers.

Engine and transmission

The engine options for the new XUV300 is likely to remain unchanged. It will continue with the same 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine producing 109bhp 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 1.2-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.
