At present, the XUV300 SUV boasts a diverse range of 16 petrol and 9 diesel variants. Although specific details regarding the facelifted model's variant and powertrain lineup remain undisclosed, Mahindra's decision to reduce the number of available variants aims to enhance market efficiency. Notably, the XUV300 and XUV400 EV currently have approximately 9,000 outstanding bookings combined. These pending orders are expected to be fulfilled before the updated SUV officially arrives on the market.
Ecpected Enhancements in the XUV300 Facelift
Numerous spy shots circulating in automotive circles have provided a sneak peek into the anticipated upgrades of the XUV300 facelift. The upcoming model is set to undergo a significant design transformation, bringing it more in line with the aesthetic language of newer Mahindra models, including the successful XUV700 lineup and the eagerly awaited born-EV range.
Inside the cabin, the XUV300 facelift promises a refreshed ambiance, featuring new upholstery and additional features to enhance the overall driving experience. One of the notable interior upgrades is the inclusion of not just one but two 10.25-inch screens, dedicated to infotainment and instrumentation. Interestingly, a preview of the revamped interior has already been provided by the recently launched XUV400 EV, setting the stage for heightened expectations.
While significant alterations are not anticipated in the powertrain department, the existing petrol and diesel engines are expected to continue their service in the facelifted model. The major mechanical revelation on the horizon is the introduction of the XUV300 EV, slated to hit the market later this year. Positioned strategically below the XUV400 EV in terms of size, the XUV300 EV is poised to be a formidable contender in the electric vehicle space, presenting a compelling alternative, especially against rivals like the Nexon EV.
