Mahindra & Mahindra have deleted the 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels from the XUV300 range. The new XUV300 W8+ now gets 16-inch single-tone alloy wheels. It’s not the first time Mahindra have removed features from the XUV300. The homegrown SUV maker has deleted features such as heated ORVMs, knee airbag, and three-pointed seat belt for the middle passenger in the past.
However, the XUV300 still offers some noteworthy features, including dual-zone climate control, touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and telematics, steering modes, electric sunroof, auto headlights, and auto wipers.
The Mahindra XUV300 comes with two engine options – a 1,2L turbo petrol and a 1.5L turbo diesel. The petrol engine produces 120PS of power and 200Nm of torque, whereas the diesel engine produces 117PS of power and 300Nm of torque. Both engines are available with the option of a 6-speed manual and 6-speed AMT. Mahindra could soon add gasoline direct injection to the petrol engine, which will increase the power output to 130PS.
The Mahindra XUV300 takes on the likes of the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Nissan Magnite, and Renault Kiger. The Mahindra XUV300 is priced from Rs. 8.16 lakh to Rs. 13.67 lakh ex-showroom.
