Mahindra announced the launch of the
**XUV 300 SUV** in January this year to take the fight to established rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and the Tata Nexon. [caption id=“attachment_5877171” align=“alignnone” width=“1024”] Mahindra XUV300.[/caption] Being one of the most awaited SUVs of 2019, reports suggest that XUV 300 will be offered in two engine options — 1.2-litre turbo petrol producing 200 Nm of peak torque and 300 Nm, 1.5-litre diesel engine we saw on the Mahindra Marazzo. The first launch phase of the new compact SUV will feature only a six-speed manual transmission option along with a front-wheel drivetrain. There’s no official word on an automatic arriving anytime soon, but Mahindra is expected to launch one over the next few months. Similar to its elder sibling, the
**XUV 500** , the XUV 300 will be offered in four variants with the same nomenclature to avoid any confusion — W4, W6, W8 and W8.

XUV300 Design
The XUV300 has a mature design for the most part. The most striking feature up front is the LED light signature. These DRLs rise up to the headlamps which too have a nice upward sweep and merge cleanly with the slim grille. The suspension is soft and well damped to absorb most road imperfections but an underlying tautness reveals itself around corners.
