Mahindra and Mahindra had earlier announced that it
has provided 100 units of the TUV300 for the Maharashtra Police and now with
this spy shot one can see that it's all ready and will soon be on the streets.
We can see the cars in the yard with graphics of the law enforcement agency and
yes there's no doubt that the Police will now be updated with the latest in the
business. The TUV300 is a subcompact SUV and takes on the likes of the Maruti
Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon and even the Ford EcoSport.
All 100 units of the Mahindra TUV300 provided to the
Maharashtra Police are based on the T4+ trim, are powered by a 1.5-litre
turbocharged diesel engine which churns out less power but is very capable.
This 1493 cc motor is capable of producing 84 bhp and developing 230 Nm of
torque. The torque is available at low rpm, between 1500-2250 rpm which means
that the power is available quickly, which means that the police will be able
to catch up to those who are looking to get away.
Though there's an AMT available on the TUV300, the
one that has been provided to the Maharashtra Police comes with a five speed
manual transmission. There are features like power steering, tilt adjustable
steering, Eco mode, dual airbags, ABS with EBD and ISOFIX mounts for the second
row.
