Should You Buy a Mahindra XUV300 Petrol Or Diesel?

Considering the significantly higher torque output of the XUV300 diesel, we’d say that you can buy the XUV300 diesel even if you intend to cover 40,000 - 50,000km during the ownership. If you find the petrol performance adequate for your use and don’t need the higher performance all that much, then you should consider upgrading to the diesel engine only if you plan to drive the car for more than 70,000km.

    Hi, The mileage figures that you have considered are not realistic, in reality the mileage figures are much lower when it comes to city driving. So you please clarify if you have considered highway driving or city driving conditions?
