Mahindra & Mahindra, the homegrown automaker will finally launch the XUV300 Automatic in the Indian market this month. The sub-4 meter SUV will receive a 6-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) in both petrol and diesel guise.

The petrol AMT version of the Mahindra XUV300 will also challenge the petrol automatic versions of the Ford EcoSport and the recently-launched Hyundai Venue. The Ford EcoSport and Hyundai Venue are available with a six-speed torque convertor automatic and a 7-speed DCT (Dual-Clutch Transmission) respectively.

While the former is good for 110bhp of power and 200Nm of torque, the oil burner produces 115bhp of power and 300Nm of torque. The XUV300 in petrol and diesel offers segment-leading torque.
