Mahindra is once again preparing to extend its highly successful compact SUV series, this time with an eye on the XUV300.
Reports and industry plants have mentioned that a new variant for the Mahindra XUV300 is going to be announced any time soon for the Indian market. This update could bring newer features, aesthetic shifts, and better performance to an already favorite model.
Expected Design and Styling Changes
While this information is not officially confirmed by Mahindra, the new variant of the XUV300 is rumored to carry some very mild cosmetic changes.
These may include some updates in the bumpers, a slightly different configuration in the front headlights and taillamps, and a few different designs for the alloy wheels. The already aggressive and sporty appearance of the car will now possibly be defined more enhanced, modern, and dynamic on the road.
Feature Enhancements and Technology Upgrades
The new variant could also involve a slew of upgraded features in the cabin that will enhance the driving experience. Expect bigger infotainment screen, better connectivity options with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and added comfort features such as ventilated seats and wireless charging. Depending on the variant level, safety upgrades including 6 airbags, rear parking camera, and advanced driver-assistance features could find their way into the XUV300.
Engine and Performance Expectations
The present configuration of the XUV300 offers the option of 1.2-litre turbo-petrol or 1.5-litre diesel engines, both of which undergo rigorous testing to emerge respectable performers and fodder with a decent gulping rate. The new variant is expected to come with the same engine options but may get some tweaking in terms of refinement and delivery. Manual and automatic gearbox options are likely to continue.
Possible Launch and Pricing
The launch timeframe for the new Mahindra XUV300 variant is likely pegged at mid-2025, just in time for the festival season to catalyze buyers. The price is expected to start at about ₹9 lakh and go up to ₹13 lakh (ex-showroom) based on features and variants. The upgrades are meant to keep the Mahindra XUV300 competitive in the compact SUV scene, making it worth the consideration of those customers who prioritize performance and functionality.
