The Mahindra TUV300 Plus is aimed at semi-urban buyers and is a
slow-seller in the major cities. It is based on the Mahindra TUV300's platform
and also shares majority of its components and body panels with its donor
vehicle. Speaking of its facelifted version, it is will feature a revamped
front fascia. Just like the test mules spotted in the past, the latest mule is
devoid of the production headlamp units, thus hides the possible changes to
that part. Speaking of other changes, it features a slightly tweaked front
radiator grille which sports a design inspired by that of the Mahindra Alturas
G4.
Under the hood, the 2020 Mahindra TUV300 Plus will
have the upgraded version of the BS-IV 2.2-litre mHawk that is rated to produce
120 PS of maximum power at 4,000 rpm and 280 Nm of torque at 1,800-2,800 rpm in
the outgoing model. The transmission will likely be the same 6-speed manual
unit.
On the safety front, 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 could be safer with new safety features.
The current Mahindra TUV300 Plus' prices stretch
from INR 9,92,748* to INR 11,42,157*. The facelifted model, expected to be
launched by the end of 2019, will cost slightly higher.
