If you’ve been eyeing a diesel sub-4 metre SUV with an automatic transmission but felt that the Mahindra XUV300 was beyond your reach, here’s some good news. Mahindra has just introduced a more affordable version of the XUV300 diesel-AMT based on the mid-spec W6 variant. Priced at Rs 9.99 lakh, it is Rs 49,000 dearer than the W6 diesel-manual variant. However, it’s almost a lakh and a half cheaper than the W8 diesel-AMT variant. Sourced from Magneti Marelli, the 6-speed AMT was earlier limited to the W8 and W8(O) diesel variants only.
