Mahindra TUV 300 Plus offers seating capacity for up to 9 people.
Mahindra is getting aggressive in terms of launching new SUVs. Having found its ‘sweet spot’ the company is focussing entirely on its Sports Utility Vehicles. The company even invested in the US establishing a plant to manufacture electric SUVs for the domestic market. Mahindra’s green counterpart will be launching a new electric SUV at Auto Expo 2018. The constant launch of new vehicles overshadows the current lineup hence the latter has to be refreshed every now and then. In this case, Mahindra introduced an entirely new variant to the TUV 300 lineup. Read on to find out.

Mahindra TUV 300 Plus gets a bump under the hood and the 1.5-litre mHawk doing its duty in the TUV 300 has been replaced by a 2.2-litre mHawk engine. The new four-cylinder diesel engine produces a maximum power output of 120 PS and 280 Nm of maximum torque. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. If reports are to believed, an AMT option is in the works and might be launched sometime down the line.
Mahindra TUV 300 Plus – Design
Based on the TUV 300 platform, the Mahindra TUV 300 Plus is essentially a stretched version of the former. Mahindra redesigned the portion behind the C-Pillar to adjust 2 more parallel seats behind the last row making space for 2 more passengers. With the increase in length, the overall character of the otherwise shrunk TUV 300 has improved. We are no fans of the staking C pillars but to the targeted audience, they might appeal.
