Mahindra XUV300 AMT Launched At Rs 11.50 Lakh

The XUV300 AMT is powered by a 1.5-litre diesel engine that produces a class-leading 116PS of power and 300Nm of torque. Apart from the 6-speed AMT, this engine can also be had with a 6-speed MT. Unfortunately, the 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine cannot be had with the two-pedal setup. The 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine churns out 111PS and 200Nm of torque, and can be had with a 6-speed MT only.

Talking about features, the XUV300 already comes loaded with segment-firsts like dual-zone climate control, front parking sensors, steering modes and heated ORVMs. The XUV300 also gets a touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, keyless entry and push-button start, cruise control, sunroof and more.

It is also loaded with safety features like seven airbags, ABS with EBD, parking sensors with rear camera, ESP and disc brakes on all four wheels. Driver and co-driver seat belt warning and high speed alert are also on offer to make it compliant with AIS 145 Safety Norms.

Apart from the introduction of the AMT gearbox, Mahindra is also working on upgrading its engines to BS6 standards and the first BS6-complaint SUV to roll out from the assembly line will be the XUV300 petrol. Mahindra will also introduce a more powerful 1.2-litre Turbo GDI petrol engine in the SUV later this year.

The Mahindra XUV300 AMT will rival other AMT-equipped diesel SUVs like the Vitara Brezza and the Nexon. If you want to know how the new XUV300 AMT performs in the real world, check out our first drive review here.
