The 2020 Mahindra TUV300 Plus (facelift) has been
spied once again, courtesy PowerDrift. Apart from the exterior changes and new
features, the MY2020 model will pack a BS-VI compliant engine as hinted by the
AdBlue tank next to the fuel filler cap.
The new Mahindra TUV300 is expected to feature a
revamped front fascia. Like the previously spotted test mule, the latest test
mule was devoid of the production headlamp units, thus once again hiding the
possible changes in that aspect. It features a new radiator grille in a design
inspired by that of the Mahindra Alturas G4.
On the inside, the 2020 Mahindra TUV300 Plus is
expected to make use of the upgraded form of the BS-IV 2.2-litre mHawk that
produces 120 PS at 4,000 rpm and 280 Nm of torque at 1,800-2,800 rpm in the old
model. While the engine will be upgraded to BS-VI standards, it will likely be
paired with the same 6-speed manual transmission as in the old model.
The current Mahindra TUV300 Plus offers dual-front
airbags, ABS with EBD, collapsible steering column, sided intrusion beams,
digital immobiliser, driver seat belt reminder, auto door lock while driving,
anti-theft steering lock and hazard lights on panic braking. The updated model
is expected to be safer and will be offered with a longer list of features. The 2019 TUV300 Plus' prices
extend from INR 9,92,748-11,42,157. The facelifted model, expected to be
launched by the year-end, will be pricier.
