Mahindra last year launched their all-new twin peak logo at the launch of XUV700 SUV. During the launch, they had also mentioned that all other SUVs in their portfolio would be getting the new logo. We saw the new logo in the all-new Scorpio N, Scorpio Classic, Bolero Neo and also the current generation Mahindra Thar. Mahindra is adding the new logo to almost all their SUVs and the latest one to reach dealership is XUV300 compact SUV. Mahindra XUV300 is a compact SUV that competes with cars like Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite and Maruti Brezza.
The video has been uploaded by Yash9w on their YouTube channel. In this video, the vlogger talks about all the changes that are there in the 2022 version of Mahindra XUV300.
