Expect features like dual-zone climate control, a multi-function steering wheel, power windows, a 360-degree camera, wireless phone charging, and possibly a panoramic sunroof.
- Digital Driver's Display: The facelifted XUV300 may include a digital driver's display, aligning with the trend in the sub-4m SUV segment.
