Mahindra XUV300 facelift could get better equipment on the inside as that was 1 of its drawbacks
The upcoming Mahindra XUV300 facelift has been spotted on test nearly undisguised and this hints that the launch could be just around the corner. Mahindra might introduce the compact SUV during the upcoming festive season.
The test mule looks almost the same as the outgoing model but, as the front has been camouflaged, it could sport subtle changes there. We believe Mahindra would go ahead adopting the design language of the upcoming XUV400 at the camouflaged front.
The new L-shaped alloy wheels, which were introduced just a while back, have been retained. These wheels are smaller in size than the previous ones.
The white roof, rear detailing, and all the cuts and creases have been retained from the outgoing model. But, on the inside, Mahindra is expected to bring about a lot of changes.
The current features on offer include 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluesense Plus connected car tech with smart watch connectivity, voice commands, and SMS readouts, tyre-position sensor, and front/rear parking sensors.
Mahindra might introduce a bigger touchscreen and some features from the XUV700 and the recently-launched Scorpio N.
Other features of the outgoing model include rear camera with adaptive guidelines, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry, push button start/stop, projector headlamps, micro hybrid technology, light-sensing headlamps, in-built GPS navigation, electrically-foldable ORVMs, dual-zone climate control, auto-dimming IRVM, sunroof with anti-pinch, and cruise control.
As far as safety goes, the XUV300 is currently the safest car in the country. It gets all-wheel disc brakes, ABS with EBD, passenger airbag deactivation, panic braking signal, ISOFIX child anchors, hill start assist, impact-sensing door unlock, and ESP with roll-over mitigation.
In addition to the facelift, Mahindra is also readying a performance-oriented variant. The performance variant could be named XUV300 Sportz.
