Mahindra has finally launched the new XUV300 TurboSport in India at a starting price of Rs 10.35 lakh (ex-showroom). It features a new T-GDI engine beneath the hood, making it more powerful than the existing 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-liter diesel engines.
This new engine option will be available with the higher three variants of the sub-4m SUV: W6, W8, and W8 (O). Here’s a look at their prices: –
| Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport | Price (Ex-Showroom) | Premium Over Regular Turbo Variants |
| W6 | Rs 10.35 lakh (monotone) | Rs 35,000 |
| W8 | Rs 11.65 lakh (monotone) / Rs 11.80 lakh (dual-tone) | Rs 48,600 |
| W8 (O) | Rs 12.75 lakh (monotone) / Rs 12.90 lakh (dual-tone) | Rs 36,800 |
Bookings and test drives of the new Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport will commence from October 10, 2022, across the nation.
What powers the new Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport?
As mentioned above, the new Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport gets a 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder, turbocharged gasoline direct injection (T-GDI) engine that produces 130PS of maximum power and 230Nm of peak torque (250Nm with an over-boost function). That’s 20PS/30Nm more than the existing 1.2-litre turbo-petrol MPFI engine. This new mill comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
Mahindra claims a 0-60kmph sprint time of simply 5 seconds from the new XUV300 TGDI TurboSport. It’s not only furious but also quite fuel-efficient thanks to the idle start/stop function. Having said that, Mahindra claims a fuel efficiency of 18.2kmpl with this new powertrain.
Are there any design changes?
Yes, the XUV300 TurboSport gets subtle cosmetic enhancement in the form of a new gloss black grille with red inserts & new Twin-Peaks logo. The chrome elements on the air dam have also been blacked out and feature sporty red elements.
Inside, the dual-tone cabin theme has been replaced with an all-black color scheme for the TurboSport variant that makes it look sportier. However, there are also red stitchings for the upholstery and silver highlights on the dashboard & steering for contrast appeal.
Mahindra offers the XUV300 TurboSport in four new color options, comprising three dual-tone and a monotone hue.
| Single-Tone | Dual-Tone |
| – Bronze | – Bronze with black roof & ORVMs – White with black roof & ORVMs – Black with white roof & ORVMs |
Does it receive any extra features?
No, the XUV300 TGDI resumes with the same set of features as its regular variants. Highlights include automatic projector headlamps with LED DRLs, 16-inch alloy wheels, a single-pane electric sunroof, dual-zone climate control, rain-sensing wipers, leather seats, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, cruise control, keyless entry with push button start, Bluesense Plus connected car tech with remote lock/unlock function, all-wheel disc brakes, up to 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, front & rear parking sensors, corner brake control, hill start assist and much more.
