Q. How is the 2016 model Mahindra XUV300?

The fun-to-drive XUV300 petrol gets an automatic after too long a wait. But there’s a catch.

Much like the EcoSport & XUV300, the Venue’s packaging punches above its weight. So, does new equal best or are there reasons to choose the others still?

With the addition of the AMT gearbox, the XUV300 now offers more convenience but has it come at the cost its fun to drive character?

Mahindra of late has pleasantly surprised us in the last couple of comparisons we’ve run, first with the Marazzo and then with the Alturas G4. This time around we have the petrol-powered XUV300 pitched against its nearest rivals. Can the Mahindra manage to better Ford’s EcoSport and Tata’s Nexon in this round?

Mahindra’s umpteenth attempt at the sub-4 metre SUV segment is easily its best yet
