The homegrown UV maker, Mahindra is readying a wide range of new utility vehicles including the next-gen Scorpio and the XUV500. Adding to it, the company will also introduce the facelift versions of the TUV300 and the TUV300 Plus. These models have already been spotted testing several times, revealing most of the design changes to be on offer.
Mahindra is yet to reveal the exact launch timeline for the new TUV300 twins. We believe that the new models could be launched in the first quarter of 2021. The spy images reveal that the TUV300 facelift will have revised front fascia; however, the overall profile will remain the same.
The new Mahindra TUV300 facelift will receive the newly-styled honeycomb mesh grille with six vertical slats, and revised bumper that accommodates fog lamps. The vehicle gets a more trapezoidal air dam and rectangular fog lamps. The LED daytime running lamps are moved to the upper edge.
The rear profile of the TUV300 facelift remains identical to the previous model. It will continue to offer the tail-gate mounted spare wheel. The side profile is also expected to remain the same. In fact, the spotted model was equipped with similar five twin-spoke alloys offered in the previous model.
The 7-seater SUV will retain the two-side facing jump seats in the boot. The new model is expected to receive new upholstery and new trim finishes. The SUV will continue to offer power windows, tilt adjustable power steering, HVAC with heater, leatherette upholstery, lumbar support for front seats, etc.
The new TUV300 facelift will meet the new pedestrian crash-test safety standards. It will be offered with dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD, seat-belt reminder, speed alert and reverse parking sensors as standard. The vehicle will receive an upgraded touchscreen infotainment system, which will also work as a display for the reverse camera.
The facelifted Mahindra TUV300 will receive the BSVI-compliant 1.5L, 3-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with 5-speed manual and AMT gearbox options. In the BS4 avatar, this engine produces 100bhp and 240Nm of torque.
