The Mahindra XUV300 is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by the Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra. It is based on the X100 platform of SsangYong Tivoli and has been sold in Indian market since February 2019. Mahindra slotted it in the segment along with their Bolero Neo(formerly called the TUV300) to rival the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon and the Ford Ecosport.

History

The XUV300 was initially codenamed as S201.[1] Based on European spec Ssangyong Tivoli, it underwent major modifications to suit Indian roads and market conditions.[2] The SUV was wind tunnel tested at Pininfarina facility in Italy.[3] Mahindra officially revealed the name of XUV300 in December 2018.[4] The SUV is wider and taller than Tivoli in dimensions but is made shorter than the counterpart to fit into sub-four-meter segment.[5] It also resembles its sibling XUV500 in looks with similar projector headlamps and DRLs, front grille and the wheel arches.[2] It was launched on 14 February 2019 in India.

Engine

The XUV300 is powered by a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine and a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder diesel engine with 6-speed manual transmission. A 6-speed automatic variant is also now available. The new petrol engine co-developed by Ssangyong delivers 110 bhp of power and 200 Nm of torque[6][7] while the diesel engine borrowed from Mahindra Marazzo outputs 115 bhp of power and 300 Nm of torque.[7]

Safety

The Mahindra XUV300 was tested in its most basic safety specification of 2 airbags and standard ISOFIX anchorages.[8] It scored 5 stars for adult occupant protection and 4 stars for child occupant protection, scoring the highest combined rating for any Indian car tested yet and the first four-star child safety rating.[8] Its structure was deemed to be capable of higher loading. It is also the first five-star rated car to offer side and curtain airbags as an option. It offers side, curtain and knee airbags only as an option on all variants. ESC is optional. ISOFIX anchorages are standard. The car offers head restraints for all passengers in its higher variants, however the three-point seatbelt which was available for the middle rear occupant on higher variants at launch has now been replaced by a less safe 2-point lap belt across the range.[9]

Mahindra sponsored a UN ESC test and pedestrian protection test with Global NCAP, which it passed, hence earning the car Global NCAP's coveted Safer Choice Award.
