The XUV300 comes with dual-airbags, ABS and disc brakes as standard
Safety and After Sales Service – In the past few months, we’ve learned that compact SUVs are a rather safe bet. The Maruti Vitara Brezza scored an unexpectedly good 4 -star Global NCAP rating and the Tata Nexon took it to the whole new level by being India’s first car to get a full 5-star rating. Mahindra XUV300 seems to have taken the safety game very seriously. On the top spec variant, it gives you segment-leading features like 7-airbags with other equipment like ABS with EBD, ISOFIX mounts and seat belt pre-tensioners. Even the base variant gets disc brakes at all four corners, dual front airbags, and ABS along with speed limit alert. Notably, adjustable headrests and three pointed seat belts are given to all passengers. What’s more, it is based on the SsangYong Tivoli platform which is rated extremely crash-test worthy. We won’t be surprised if this joins the rank of the Tata Nexon with a 5-star rating.

The XUV300 is Mahindra’s best car yet
Verdict – The Mahindra XUV300 is a terrific product, the long testing and international genes are very apparent because it excels in performance, safety, equipment, dynamics and comfort. Certain things could have been better, mainly the hard plastics and the audio system which pales in comparison to the Tata Nexon. But overlook this and you are looking at the best compact SUV in the market, Mahindra has done it again and the XUV300 is going to sell like hot cakes.
