2019 Mahindra XUV300 subcompact SUV spotted on public roads ahead of launch

The 2019 Mahindra XUV300 has been spotted recently during a promotional activity. The compact SUV was unveiled during its name-reveal event last week and sports styling inspired by the larger XUV500 SUV.The Mahindra XUV300 has been developed by the Mahindra Research Valley in Chennai and will be manufactured in Nasik, Maharashtra. Mahindra has also confirmed that the XUV300 will have an electric version as well that is being developed as S210 and will be launched in 2020. The XUV300 is designed in an understated manner and has influences of a number of other popular SUVs like the Hyundai Creta and Vitara Brezza. The overall look is understated and is unlikely to polarize opinion.[caption id="attachment_5782961" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Mahindra XUV300.

This sub-4M offering has the longest wheelbase for any sub-4m SUV in the world. Also, the Mahindra XUV300 will come equipped with all disc brakes, 7 airbags and also fully automatic climate control, many of which are a segment first. The XUV300 is being positioned as a more premium product and will find itself at the higher end of the sub-four-metre SUV spectrum.[caption id="attachment_5783031" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Mahindra XUV 300 spotted.

Also, in the first phase, the XUV300 will be offered with a manual transmission and a front wheel drive train. An automatic might follow later. Our guess is that the diesel motor will be 121PS and 300 Nm unit from the Marazzo.
