While driving the XUV300 during the Media Drive, we had been pleasantly surprised with appropriate drivability of the XUV300 SUV. The diesel motor felt punchy, and the 6-velocity MT gearbox complimented it properly. XYZ, Mahindra is running on launching the XUV300 AMT alternative very quickly. UV300’s pricing starts offevolved at INR 7.9 lakhs, which is especially a touch better than the opposition. However, thinking about the listing of capabilities which the XUV300 comes with, the pricing may be considered justified. The addition of an AMT unit will similarly bump up the prices with the aid of some other INR 30-40K. His will help enhance sales even further. This may want to threaten Nexon’s position because of the second satisfactory promoting automobile in the section.
The inclusion of AMT alternative in the line-up occurs as a temporary degree as Mahindra intends to herald a 6-speed AT later. An AT will praise the SUV better as Mahindra has placed the XUV300 as a noticeably top-class product, and an AT will offer a higher driving experience. The AT will maximum in all likelihood is available in 2020, along with BS-VI compliant engines. This AT may be a 6-velocity unit and will be sourced from Aisin, giving AT devices for XUV500.
