I don't think it's that bad, people make it out to be. Yes, it’s not as efficient as a Maruti but the power you get compensates for it. In Mumbai traffic I'm getting about 12-13 kmpl.

It’s really a matter of tire pressure. I discovered that a slightly lower pressure than the recommended level made a big difference to ride comfort with no real loss of handling.

I’ve had my XUV300 for three years now and it still feels solid. Nothing major, just your regular maintenance here and there. Definitely the build quality matches the safety ratings.

The boot space problem is exaggerated by people. They expect it to be a sub 4 meter SUV. If you want a huge boot, check out larger vehicles. However, the XUV300 does so well in other areas that matter more in your daily use.

The interior is a real letdown as it's all outdated. I had test driven the XUV300 and loved how it performed but there was something about that old school dashboard that I just couldn’t get over. I ended up buying a Venue.

Mahindra XUV300 currently has no news of its launch in the country. The car is expected to carry the same engine as TUV300, which can be differently tuned to produce around 100 BHP and 240 NM of torque. The car will be placed above the TUV300 and it may get an option of being a 6 seater. Very few details about the car are currently available in the automobile world.
