Mahindra XUV300 gets new entry-level variants; prices start at Rs 7.99 lakh
Mahindra has expanded the XUV300 line-up with the addition of the new entry-level W2 variant with prices starting at Rs 7.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The sportier XUV300 TurboSport has also received a new base-spec variant, called the W4, which is priced at Rs 9.29 lakh (ex-showroom). With this, the XUV300 is now available in a choice of five variants: W2, W4, W6, W8, and W8 (optional), while the XUV300 TurboSport is offered in four variants: W4, W6, W8, and W8 (optional).
The most significant update for the XUV300, apart from the new variant, is that the electric single-pane sunroof is now available with the W4 variant onwards across petrol and diesel engine options. By offering lower priced entry-level variants and making sunroof accessible in the base variants, Mahindra appears to be attracting new buyers. Notably, the sub-four meter SUV from the brand competes against the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and Maruti Suzuki Brezza.
