New Delhi, Dec 25 :
Mahindra’s newest sub-compact SUV, the XUV300, is scheduled to launch in the first half of February 2019 and dealers have now started accepting orders unofficially. The XUV300 is expected to be priced between Rs 8 lakh to Rs 12 lakh.
The Mahindra XUV300 is likely to be one of the better equipped cars in its segment with features like sunroof, dual-zone auto AC, 7 airbags and all-four disc brakes. It will be offered with both petrol and diesel engine options. A six-speed manual transmission may be the only transmission option with the expected 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. Automatic transmission is not going to be offered at launch, but expect Mahindra to add it later.
While Mahindra has revealed the production version of the SUV, it is yet to showcase it to the media or the public. Dealers in select cities like Pune and Delhi are already accepting bookings for amounts ranging between Rs 5,000 to Rs 11,000. The deliveries are expected to begin towards the end of February or early March, 2019, depending on the colour and variant of choice.
We expect Mahindra to formally announce commencements of bookings soon. If you plan to buy the sub-compact Mahindra SUV in Feb or March 2019, we would suggest you to go ahead with the booking, but ensure that you get the dealer’s receipt with the booking amount mentioned. Generally, dealers open bookings as and when they get some confirmation about the car’s launch.
