2019 Mahindra XUV300 SUV safety features revealed
Mahindra has released a new video which depicts in detail the safety features that will be available on the upcoming Mahindra XUV300 sub-four-meter SUV. Mahindra claims that the XUV300 will be positioned at the premium end of this segment and these features will reiterate that claim.
The safety tech includes seven airbags with side, knee and curtain airbags, disc brakes on all four wheels, front parking sensors, an electronic stability program with a hill-hold function, ISOFIX child seat mounts, rear fog lamps and a three-point seatbelt for the middle passenger in the rear. Admittedly, quite a few of these will be reserved for the top trims but dual airbags, disc brakes on all four wheels will be standard along with ABS.
The XUV300 will be available in four variants and these follow the same nomenclature as that of its larger cousin, the XUV500. These variants are the W4, W6, W8 and W8 (O). Some details are available on the equipment offered on each trim and we gather that a reasonably good level of standard equipment will be offered. Buyers will be able to choose from six colour options.
Other features that should ideally be available from the base variant onwards are power windows, a stereo system with bluetooth/aux connectivity, central locking, halogen headlamps, etc. The top trims will come with a touchscreen infotainment unit with Android Auto/Apple Carplay, keyless entry and go, powered mirrors, better interior trim, LED DRLs and projector lamps with fog lamps, seven airbags, front parking sensors, seven airbags and also fully automatic dual-zone climate control.

The XUV300 shares its underpinnings with the SsangYong Tivoli. The Mahindra XUV300 will be available in both petrol and Diesel engine options. Also, in the first phase, the XUV300 will be offered with a six-speed manual transmission and a front-wheel drive train. An automatic might follow later. Our guess is that the diesel motor will be the 121PS and 300Nm unit from the Marazzo.
The XUV300 will be the brand's first committed crack at the small SUV segment. Its earlier offerings like the Quanto and TUV300, while popular to an extent, have not challenged established rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Tata Nexon. We expect prices to range from Rs 8 to 11 lakhs.
