With the Mahindra XUV300 launch less than 3 weeks away, the company has begun showcasing its compact SUV at malls. This weekend the vehicle’s already made its debut at Sujana Mall in Hyderabad, and Seasons Mall in Pune.
Mahindra XUV300 orderbooks were opened earlier in January. Being introduced as a sub 4-metre compact SUV, the car sits on the longest wheelbase in its segment. This is because the vehicle is based on Ssangyong Tivoli, and while the wheelbase is retained, vehicle dimensions have been reduced to fit in the sub 4-metre category.

Power output is not known at present but is likely to be 125 hp. Both engines will be mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. No automatic or AMT is on offer as of now.
On the safety front, 7 Airbags are on offer with top variant. Front Parking Sensors, ABS with EBD are also offered. Dual-Zone Fully Automatic Climate Control has been mentioned. Mahindra XUV300 will be available in 3 variants – W4, W6 and W8, and W8 (O) as an option.
