2022 Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport launched at Rs 10.35 lakh: Most powerful sub-compact SUV in India – Times of India

Mahindra has unveiled an all-new engine for the XUV300, i.e. the 1.2-litre T-GDi turbo-petrol motor which makes it not only the most powerful car in the segment, but also the most powerful sub-4m ICE car in India . The new 1.2-litre mStallion T-GDi engine of the XUV300 makes 128 hp of maximum power and 230 Nm of peak torque.
This means that the new engine produces around 20 hp more power and 30 Nm more torque than the existing 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine that will continue to be offered alongside. The new powertrain will be available with three variants of the car – W6, W8 and W8(O), and is being offered as part of the ‘TurboSport’ series. A look at the price of the new XUV300 TurboSport –

The price of the new XUV300 T-GDi ranges from Rs 10.35 lakh to Rs 12.90 lakh, while the regular petrol variant of the XUV300 is priced between Rs 8.41 lakh and Rs 13.21 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).
It should be noted that the new 1.2 T-GDi engine is currently only being offered with a 6-speed manual transmission. In contrast, the older turbo-petrol engine is still offered with the option of an optional 6-speed AMT. The new engine also gets passive start/stop technology, and will help the XUV300 directly take on the sporty Hyundai Venue N line that was launched in the country a while back.

The new XUV300 T-GDi is being offered with three paint schemes, Blazing Bronze, Pearl White and Napoli Black. Over the standard XUV300, the new variant also gets T-GDi badging, new dual-tone alloy wheels and red accents on the front grille. Apart from this, the car also gets Mahindra’s new Twin-Peaks logo. It gets an all-black cabin to enhance the sporty appeal.
