Mahindra has introduced a new entry-level variant for the XUV300, called the W2, at Rs 7.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The SUV manufacturer has also made the performance-oriented TurboSport engine more accessible by introducing it from the second-from-base W4 variant onwards.

As a result, the Mahindra XUV300 is now more accessible than before for potential customers looking for petrol power, though the diesel variant lineup remains unchanged.
