Mahindra XUV300


The Mahindra XUV300 is generally referred to as the baby XUV500. In the most basic sense, it is a shortened and Indian version. At this price, you get keyless entry and start, automatic headlamps and wipers, two-zone climate control, cruise control, and a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat. And yes, there’s a sunroof as well. The only SUV in its class to get one... for now. The Mahindra XUV300 comes with two engines. The diesel with its 6-speed manual gearbox is a good fit. The price range starts from Rs 8.41 lakhs which is the cheapest in its segment, comparable in terms of space, engine and refinement.
