Looking For A Perfect City Car? Mahindra XUV300 AMT Fulfils Your Requirement
Mahindra has launched its new car in the SUV segment - Mahindra XUV300 that has impressed us thoroughly with its impressive feature and beauty. This SUV by Mahindra comes in both petrol and diesel variants. The powerful engine enhances the driving nature of the SUV. Mahindra XUV300 also comes with an automated manual transmission (AMT). Let’s find out if the carmaker has perfectly blended the convenience in its AMT model without compromising the drive fun that SUV has to offer:
1. Automatic transmission – XUV300 has Marelli-sourced automated manual tech, and the system has 12V DC motor to sensors and actuators for the 6-speed transmission. The automatic transmission is fully integrated with the 1.5 L 117PS diesel engine, and it has the same gear ratio as for the manual version. The creep function that comes with the XUV300 makes life easier in the traffic and during parking. The anti-rollback system prevents the car from rolling backwards when you are going uphill. Also, there is Down Hill Drive System which keeps the gearbox in a lower gear when you are driving downhill to give you more engine braking.
2. Drive – The XUV300 AMT variant comes with 1.5 L diesel engine which produces 117PS power and torque of 300 Nm. The XUV300 moves smoothly once the gear shifter slots into drive. The gear shifts are jerk-free and work smoothly. While driving in the city where traffic is high, AMT variant works amazingly well. For a quick overtake, the transmission drops the gear quickly, and the engine makes the SUV gain the momentum quickly.
XUV300 AMT also works well in low speed, so when you let go of the brake, the creep system makes the car rolling swiftly. XUV300 AMT variant is even better than its diesel manual variant as the car doesn’t judder and stall at low speeds. XUV300 AMT is very smooth even when it’s in the heavy traffic.
3. Other features – The exterior and interior of the car mostly remain unchanged and are similar to manual diesel variant. The only change that you will see in the interior of the car is the gear selector. The inside of the car gives you a premium feel. The shiny chrome inserts on the gear selector look beautiful.
The front seats offer good support, and the back seats also offer you enough width to accommodate three passengers easily. The car offers enough knee room and boot space. There is also 60:40 split-folding rear seats which adds the space as and when needed.
