Mahindra TUV 300 Plus

Mahindra has launched the TUV300 Pus in India with prices starting at Rs 9.47 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai). The SUV will be available in three variants, namely P4, P6 and P8. As the name suggests, the Plus is a stretched version of Mahindra's sub-4-metre SUV. The TUV300 Plus is powered by the 2.2-litre mHawk motor that also powers the Scorpio and the XUV500. But, it has been given a rather conservative 120PS / 320Nm tune. The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, and there's no automatic option offered just as yet. As far as features are concerned, the top-spec TUV300 Plus gets goodies such as 16-inch alloy wheels, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system paired with six speakers, faux leather upholstery and steering-mounted audio controls. That said, the biggest draw of the TUV300 Plus might just be the fact that it can seat 9 passengers. In terms of safety, Mahindra is offering dual airbags and ABS as standard across the range.
