The most awaited compact SUV from Mahindra & Mahindra code named as S201 finally, get's the official name today the XUV-300. XUV-300 is expected to launch in Feb 2019, Mahindra claimed that this SUV is feature loaded, has lot of features and some of them like, 7 airbags and dual zone climate control are segment first. Compact SUV is currently the hot segment in Indian market, Mahindra tried earlier in this segment by introducing TUV-300, but failed vary badly. But this time with XUV-300 the Mahindra is all set to increase their sale numbers in this segment.
Mahindra claims that this is the most safest compact SUV in it's segment, even safer than Nexon (who gets 5-star ratings recently). Well this claim is obvious as the XUV-300 is based on the Sangyong Tivoli's global platform which is one of the safest car in Korea. For the one who doesn't know Sangyong, well Sangyong is a Korean based automobile company and is one of the subsidiary of Mahindra & Mahindra India.
The competition in compact SUV segment is quite strong and has the strong players like Maruti Suzuki Breza, Tata Nexon, Ford Ecosport and Honda WR-V. But XUV-300 has it's trump cards like long list of features and it's looks.
Car will come with both, the petrol and the diesel engine. Diesel engine being the 1.5 litter producing 120Hp and 300N-m of torque and petrol engine is also expected to be 1.5 litter. It gets the features like dual zone climate control, first in class 7 airbags, disk brakes for all four wheels, 6-speed manual transmission (the automatic transmission is expected in the future), touch screen, android auto,apple car play, reverse parking camera, sun-roof, 17 inch diamond cut wheels, cruise control, push stop/start button and many more.
This is looking as a very good package and if company manages to price it aggressively then this might give a real tough fight to it's competition.
