The original TUV300 was launched in 2015. Less than a couple of years down the line, Mahindra has decided to come with a stretched version that can carry more occupants and luggage. The TUV 300 Plus also gets a bigger engine. The design has been left largely untouched, at least till the C-pillar. The rear quarter does see a larger overhang and forward leading D-pillars. Even the bumper and the registration plate enclosure has a different design at the rear. A rather interesting detail is the built-in roof spoiler at the rear.
