Order Books For Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport Are Now Open

• Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport now available for booking.

• Test drives and deliveries are also underway.

• Offered in W6, W8 and W8(O) trim levels.

• The XUV300 TurboSport series is sold alongside the standard models.

The XUV300 TurboSport made its debut just last week, and Mahindra has now opened the order books for the sub-compact SUV. Test drives and deliveries have also commenced simultaneously from today onwards. Available in the W6, W8 and W8 (O) trim levels, it carries a premium of about 50,000 over its concurrent trims with a price tag ranging between Rs 10.35 lakh and Rs 12.90 lakh (ex-showroom).

What do you get for the premium?

If power is what floats your boat, then the XUV300 TurboSport should be your go-to with its 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 130PS and 230Nm–20PS and 30Nm more than the standard unit. You can also extract an extra 20Nm from the unit using an ‘overboost’ function, which provides an extra bit of oomph for an overtake.

Power is delivered to the front wheels using a six-speed manual only, unlike the standard model, which also gets the option of a six-speed automatic gearbox. It is available with a 1.5-litre diesel engine as well.

XUV300 TurboSport: Design Changes

Design changes aren’t as radical as the powertrain update, but you do get subtle tweaks and revisions. Red inserts on the grille, gloss black finish for the grille, ORVMS, roof rails, Mahindra’s ‘Twin Peaks’ logo, and six paint shades including a new Blazing Bronze hue (single- and dual-tone) make up the exterior changes.

Inside too, the changes are subtle with an all-black cabin that gets leather coverings for the steering, gear lever, and seats contrasted by red stitching. The pedals now get an aluminum finish that adds to the sport element of the sub-4m SUV.

XUV300 TurboSport: Rivals

The XUV300 TurboSport series takes the fight to the Hyundai Venue N Line and Kia Sonet X Line, while the standard XUV300 continues to rival the likes of the Tata Nexon, Renault Kiger and Maruti Brezza.
