Mahindra XUV 300 Launched – With Premium Features & Powerful Engine Check Price!
TheMahindra XUV 300 has always been known for its strong build and safety-first design. In 2024, Mahindra gave it a major facelift and relaunched it as the XUV 300. With updated looks, modern features, and proven engines, it now appeals to both young buyers and family car owners. Priced between ₹7.49 lakh and ₹15.80 lakh (ex-showroom), it fits perfectly in India’s competitive sub-4m SUV segment.
Design and Dimensions
The Mahindra XUV 300 looks bold and muscular, with a wide grille, LED projector lamps, and striking C-shaped DRLs. It measures around 3,995 mm in length, 1,821 mm in width, and 1,627 mm in height, making it compact yet spacious for city driving. Mahindra has also improved boot space to 364 litres, which was a drawback in the earlier XUV300.
Interior and Features
Step inside and you’ll find a premium cabin with dual-tone themes, a 10.25-inch infotainment system, and a fully digital driver display. Top variants also get a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, cooled glovebox, dual-zone climate control, and Level-2 ADAS features like lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control.
Engine and Mileage
Mahindra offers the SUV with both petrol and diesel engines.
- 1.2L Turbo Petrol (TCMPFi): 110 bhp, 200 Nm, mileage ~18–19 kmpl
- 1.2L Turbo Petrol (TGDi): 129 bhp, 230 Nm, mileage ~20 kmpl
- 1.5L Diesel CRDe: 115 bhp, 300 Nm, mileage ~20–21 kmpl
Transmission options include 6-speed manual, AMT, and automatic, giving buyers flexibility. With a 42-litre fuel tank, the SUV can cover nearly 700–800 km per refill.
Safety and Ratings
Safety remains the strongest USP of this SUV. The XUV 3XO has scored a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating for both adult and child occupants. It comes loaded with six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, ISOFIX child-seat mounts, and hill-hold assist, making it one of the safest cars in its segment.
Ride Quality and Ownership
Owners appreciate its solid mileage, strong diesel performance, and premium cabin feel. However, some still feel the suspension is a little firm on bad roads. Maintenance is affordable, with 5-year service costs averaging ₹7,500, and Mahindra offers a 3-year/1,00,000 km warranty.
Competition
The Mahindra XUV 300 goes up against the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Sonet. While rivals may score better in boot space or ride comfort, the Mahindra wins in safety, mileage, and performance.
Final Verdict
The Mahindra XUV 300 (facelifted XUV300) is one of the best-balanced SUVs in the sub-compact space. It offers muscular styling, advanced features, fuel-efficient engines, and class-leading safety at a competitive price. If you want a reliable, safe, and modern SUV for both city and highway drives, the XUV 3XO is a top contender.
