Mahindra XUV300 TGDi launched in India, prices start from Rs 10.35 lakh
Mahindra has now expanded the Mahindra XUV300 line-up by adding a new turbo-petrol engine option. The new Mahindra XUV300 TGDi is priced from Rs 10.35 lakh and is effectively the production version of the XUV300 Sportz that was showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo.
The Mahindra XUV300 TGDi features the new 1.2-litre TGDi mStallion petrol motor from the same family as seen in the XUV700 and Scorpio-N. The motor puts out 130PS and 213 Nm. This is 20PS and 13 Nm more than the current turbo-petrol XUV300. This should also make the XUV300 the most potent combustion-engined compact SUV in the country. The XUV300 TGDi is paired with a six-speed manual. The diesel XUV300 makes 115PS and 300 Nm from a 1.5-litre mHawk motor. The other engine options also get a six-speed AMT.

The new Mahindra XUV300 has also been marginally spruced up inside and out. There is a new gold and black colour option as well as red highlights on the new all-black grille and front air dam. On the inside, there is now an all-black colour scheme with silver or gold highlights as well as contrasting stitching. There is also the Mahindra twin peaks logo both inside and out.
The new motor is available on the higher-spec variants of the XUV300 and gets features like a sunroof, connected-tech, dual-zone climate control, steering modes, a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto/Apple Carplay, leatherette upholstery, auto headlamps and wipers, among other things.
Mahindra XUV300 TGDi prices, rivals
Prices for the XUV300 TGDi top out at Rs 12.90 lakh. The new XUV300 rivals cars like the Hyundai Venue N Line and Kia Sonet X-Line most closely as well as other sub-four-metre SUVs like The Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Tata Nexon.
