What is different for the trims in terms of features?
The four trims of the car would be a little different on the outside. The base variant, the W4, would get LED tail-lamps, but there would be no wheel covers for the 16-inch wheels. Also, it would miss out on the chrome garnish for the grille, which becomes commonplace for the higher trims. Black rails can be seen in the W6. The W8 and W8(O) can be seen with the new projector headlights and daytime running LED lamps. These trims get 17-inch alloy wheels and integrated LED turn indicators on the wing mirrors. Six different paint options are available on the XUV300 - red, blue, orange, silver, black and white.
What are the additional features on the car?
The comfort on the W8(O) means there would be an instrument cluster with multiple colour illumination options. The driver's seat is height adjustable and there are leatherette seats. There is a tyre pressure monitor and push-button start. The auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror, tyre position display and reverse camera add to the comfort and drivability of the car. The car offers power folding, automatic headlamps and wipers, four speakers with two tweeters, an armrest for the rear seats and adjustable wing mirrors with a lot of boot space ensuring the comfort of the passengers inside.
How safe is the car?
When it comes to safety features, the XUV300 W8(O) leads in the segment. Four disc brakes, 2 airbags and ABS with EBD are common on all the trims. The electronic stability control unit and hill-hold assist are available with the W8. Isofix child seat mounts and the front and rear fog lamps can be seen in the W8(O).
Mahindra XUV300 is doing great against its rivals with sales being at the top for the last few months. The car costs somewhere around Rs. 7.9 lakh to Rs. 11.14 lakh.
