Mahindra has removed the TUV300 and TUV300 Plus from their official website indicating that they have been temporarily discontinued.
Mahindra has updated most of its cars with BS6 engines, the last one being XUV500 and Scorpio. Two cars that are still left to receive their emissions-compliant engine are the TUV300 and TUV300 Plus. Mahindra has also removed the TUV300 and its 9-seater version from their official website recently.
Due to the lockdown, all manufacturers were forced to put their launches on the back seat. Possibly, that could have led to Mahindra discontinuing the TUV300 and TUV300 Plus, temporarily. We have spied both the cars under camouflage confirming that they are being tested. We are expecting them to be launched in a couple of months.
