The Mahindra XUV300
has launched on 14 February and become a direct rival to the Maruti Vitara Brezza
and Tata Nexon. AutoPunditz has
leaked the specifications table.
The Mahindra XUV300
will be available in two turbocharged engine variants - 1.2-litre petrol and
1.5-litre diesel. The former outputs a maximum power of 110 bhp at
5,000 rpm and a peak torque of 200 Nm from 2,000-3,500 rpm, while the latter
produces a maximum power of 115 bhp at 3,750 rpm and a peak torque of
300 Nm from 1,500-2,500 rpm. Both the motors come mated to a six-speed manual
transmission.
All the versions of
the Mahindra XUV300 feature disc brakes on all wheels. The new compact SUV
features MacPherson Strut with anti-roll bar at front and Twist beam suspension
with coil springs at the rear. It is underpinned by the Ssangyong Tivoli's X100
platform that should help the new SUV achieve a high safety rating. The W4 and
W6 trims, which will feature 16-inch steel wheels, will come with 205/65-spec
tires. The high-end W8 and W8(O) grades get 17-inch alloy wheels shod with
215/55-spec rubber.
The Mahindra XUV300
looks set to become the most feature-laden option in its segment. The top-spec
W8(O) grade will come with a list of high-end features, including auto-dimming
IRVM, heater ORVMs, dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors,
seven airbags, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and electric sunroof.
All variants will be available with Dual front airbags, Audio system with four
speakers, ABS and EBD, ISOFIX, Electrically adjustable ORVMs, Electric tailgate
release, and Multiple steering settings.
The Mahindra XUV300
will measure 3,995 mm in length, 1,821 mm in width, and 1,617 mm in height. In
comparison, the Maruti Vitara Brezza, Ford EcoSport, and Tata Nexon are 1,790
mm, 1,765 mm, and 1,811 mm wide, respectively. The new SUV will offer a ground
clearance of 180 mm, along with a boot space of 265-litre. It will deliver a
fuel efficiency of 17 km/l with the petrol engine and 20 km/l with the diesel
engine.
