The
Mahindra XUV300 has become the first Mahindra model to receive the BS-VI
upgrade, albeit partially. Its petrol engine variant has been upgraded to the
upcoming emission norms and priced from INR 8.30 lakh*, while its diesel engine
variant is yet to be. Mahindra
says that it hasn’t revised the equipment lines for the XUV300 along with the
BS-VI upgrade. So, the range still starts with the W4 grade and goes up to the
W8 (O) grade. The prices have gone up by approximately INR 20,000 across the
range with the BS-VI upgrade.
The
specifications of the BS-VI Mahindra XUV300 petrol’s engine aren’t out yet. The
BS-IV 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine was tuned to produce 110.1 PS at
5,000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 2,000-3,500 rpm. A 6-speed manual
transmission has remained standard.
