Mahindra is readying a replacement for the ageing
Mahindra Xylo – the Mahindra TUV300 Plus. Spy shots published on Team-BHP and
Throttle Blips show the 9-seat SUV’s interior more clearly than ever before.
The interior of the Mahindra TUV300 Plus looks the
same as that of the Mahindra TUV300. The particular model in the spy shots is
in a basic grade, and it lacks a multimedia system and even silver accents on
the AC vents. The TUV300 has a 5+2 seating configuration as standard. In the TUV300
Plus, Mahindra will offer multiple seating configurations. Some grades will
accommodate as many as nine people, with two jump seats for two passengers each
behind the second-row bench.
On the outside, the Mahindra TUV300 Plus has a
longer rear overhang and bigger quarter glass. While the TUV300’s rear looks
flattish below the back glass, the TUV300 Plus’ same portion looks curvaceous.
Its D-pillar is notably more forward-leaning.
The registration plate housing
has a different design, and the so do the tail lamps, which extend even further
on the sides. The model in the spy shots has the mHawk120 engine under its
hood. This is the 120 bhp 1.99-litre diesel unit that powers the Mahindra
Scorpio in the Delhi-NCR region.
