Mahindra XUV300 Detailed Image Gallery : 40+ pictures inside

Mahindra’s much awaited compact SUV, the XUV300 will be launched on 14th February in India. We drove this vehicle in Goa earlier this week and while the review is embargoed till 6th (Wednesday), lets have a closer look at the SUV via the images below. Do note we cannot share our opinions, even on the design, till a few more days. Nevertheless, here we go:

We got the Dark Green (Turquoise) color option during the test drive. The rear of the XUV300 is dirty as we took it off the road for a minutes too

Dual tone roof is seen here, finished in white (including the spoiler)

Top spec XUV300 seen here. Location is Verna Industrial Area, Goa

Low angle shot of the front end. All important design elements visible here.

Another shot. We have kept the headlamp, DRL and fog lamps ON for the shoot.

A view of the alloy wheel design and the fog lamp inserts. Also notice the faux silver skid plate

This is how the XUV300 looks from the rear as compared to the Ssangyong Tivoli, the car it is based on

Low angle shot showcases the ground clearance of the SUV

Side angle shows the length, wheelbase and ground clearance.

Also on the shoot was a red color option with a white roof. What is your pick?

Can the XUV300 kick up a storm in the segment?

Mahindra owns a majority stake in Korean company Ssangyong. This is based on the Ssangyong Tivoli but modified for India

Modifications include a shorter length and different front and rear ends

As seen, this is the W8 model (badge visible) – some online reports suggest there will be three variants on offer (W4, W6, W8)
