2021 Mahindra XUV300 Loses Out On Two Features

Mahindra has recently revised the prices of its entire product line-up, including the XUV300. But despite the price hike, Mahindra's subcompact SUV has seen a silent features revision. The loaded small SUV has dropped two of the features which were giving it an advantage over its rivals. It includes the removal of heated ORVM and a 3-point seatbelt for the rear-middle passenger. While the rear side seats will continue to get the 3-point belts, the middle passenger will have to compromise with a lap belt only.

Mahindra XUV300 comes with many segment-first features and the heated ORVM was only of them. It was available with XUV300's top-spec W8 (O) variant. For the people not in know, a heated ORVM is very useful during rains, cold and foggy weather for better rear visibility but unfortunately, the XUV300 will no longer get this feature. However, the Mahindra XUV300 is still one of the most loaded SUVs in its class with several 1st-in-segment features like dual-zone climate control, three-steering mode (Comfort, Normal & Sport), 7-airbags, all four-disc brakes, and seatbelt reminder for the rear row as well. Also, it is the safest sub-4-meter SUV as per the global NCAP crash test in which it had received a 5-star rating for adult safety & a 4-star rating for child protection.

The other notable features of the XUV300 includes a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with inbuilt navigation, BlueSense plus connected car technology, Apple Carplay & Android Auto support, electric sunroof, push-button start/stop, leatherette upholstery, height-adjustable front seatbelts, multifunction steering wheel, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, micro-hybrid technology, front & rear parking sensors, rear camera with adaptive guidelines, ESP with roll-over mitigation, ISOFIX child seat anchors, hill start assist, corner braking control, and many more. 

Not only in terms of features, but the Mahindra XUV300 also leads the segment with its performance. It is the torquiest SUV in its category, generating a peak twisting force of 200Nm with 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 300Nm with 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine. Here are the complete specifications: – 

Mahindra XUV300 Engine 1.2-litre turbo petrol 1.5-litre turbo diesel
No of Cylinders    
Max Power 110.1 PS 116.6 PS
Max Torque 200Nm 300Nm
