Mahindra has started dispatching the Mahindra TUV300
Plus to dealerships. IAB reader Tanmay Gupta has shared live images of the new
SUV from a dealership to provide a close look at its exterior and interior.
The Mahindra TUV300 Plus is a stretched, bigger
version of the Mahindra TUV300 that arrived in 2015. At the front, the TUV300
features a differently designed bumper with a black insert at its bottom and
black garnish near the fog lamps. On the sides, the difference between the two
models is clearly evident with the bigger quarter glass and the more
forward-leaning D-pillar. At the rear, the bumper and license plate housing
have a different design. Also worth noticing, is the subtle rear spoiler
up-top.
The Mahindra TUV300 Plus measures 4,398 mm in
length, 1,815 in width and 1,837 mm in height. It has the same wheelbase as the
Mahindra TUV300 – 2,680 mm. It is powered by the 2.2-litre mHawk120 diesel
engine that develops a maximum power of 118 hp at 4,000 rpm. This
engine is coupled to a 6-speed manual transmission. In the entry-level P4
grade, the TUV300 Plus offers side-facing seats for four passengers behind the
second-row bench. Reports say that customers will have more seating layout
options in other grades.
Mahindra has started delivering the Mahindra TUV300
Plus to select customers. The nationwide launch of the 9-seat SUV is yet to
take place.
