As the name suggests, the Plus is a stretched version of Mahindra's sub-4-metre SUV. The TUV300 Plus is powered by the 2.2-litre mHawk motor that also powers the Scorpio and the XUV500. But, it has been given a rather conservative 120PS / 320Nm tune. The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, and there's no automatic option offered just as yet. As far as features are concerned, the top-spec TUV300 Plus gets goodies such as 16-inch alloy wheels, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system paired with six speakers, faux leather upholstery and steering-mounted audio controls. That said, the biggest draw of the TUV300 Plus might just be the fact that it can seat 9 passengers. In terms of safety, Mahindra is offering dual airbags and ABS as standard across the range. The TUV300 Plus fits an extremely specific need. We’re sure rural markets and cab operators will lap this up by the dozen for the extra seats alone. If you need a tough SUV to transport the whole colony in one shot, ring Mahindra!
