Mahindra eXUV300 Vs XUV300 Whats Different
. From the first glance, you can tell the two XUV300s are distinct from each other, despite being based on the SsangYong Tivoli. We take a closer look at the differences:
Design:
The first and most visible difference between the two SUVs is the design. The standard XUV300 sports a conventional modern Mahindra look with projector headlights, LED tail lamps, LED DRLs, dual-tone OVRMs, and blacked-out pillars.
The features different styling in the form of a new grille design, a new and sharper set of headlamps, as well as new front and rear bumpers. Differences at the side boil down to a new set of wheels. Blue accents around the body and new tail lamps round off the exterior differences.
Interiors:
Head inside the eXUV300 and it gets distinct features like blue accents around the cabin, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, and a new instrument cluster. The carmaker is yet to reveal more on the interiors, but we expect bits like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, front parking sensors, steering modes, and heated ORVMs. Also expect safety kit like ABS + EBD, parking sensors with rear camera, ESP, driver and co-driver seatbelt warning, and high speed alert.
Engines:
The biggest difference between the two XUV300s is under the hood. The standard XUV300 is powered by 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. The petrol mill produces 110PS of power and 200Nm of torque, whereas the diesel option delivers 115PS and 300Nm. Both engines are paired with a 6-speed manual, but only the diesel gets an AMT option. The eXUV300 is powered by an all-electric motor, juiced up by a high-density Lithium Ion battery pack. However, the carmaker is yet to reveal its specifications. It could provide a range exceeding 300km.
Despite not having a lot on the eXUV300, we can already tell there are differences between the two. Expect the all-electric iteration to be priced at a premium over its predecessor, which starts from Rs 18 lakh (ex-showroom India). However, there will be a long wait for an accurate price as the EV SUV will not be launched before 2021.
