Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport Gets Expensive

Last month, Mahindra granted an exemption to their XUV30 TurboSport variants from the widespread price hikes that affected all of their other SUVs. Alas, the reprieve was short-lived, as the carmaker has now lifted the curtain on increased pricing for this sportier version of the XUV300.

Here’s a look at its revised prices: –

*Rs 12,000 extra for the dual-tone paint scheme.

• As the above table indicates, the range-topping W8 (O) TGDi variant of the Mahindra XUV300 has undergone a maximum price jump of Rs 43,000, followed by the W8 and W6 TGDi trims.
• As a result of the price hike, the XUV300 TurboSport now ranges between Rs 10.71 lakh and Rs 13.18 lakh (ex-showroom).

What Powers The XUV300 TurboSport?

• Currently, Mahindra offers the XUV300 TurboSport with only a 6-speed manual gearbox.
