Mahindra has recently launched another rebadged SsangYong SUV in India, the Alturas. This premium SUV, apart from Mahindra badging and some minor design tweaks, is an exact replica of the SsangYong Rexton currently on sale in the European market.
Just like the Alturas, the Mahindra XUV 300 is going to have all the aesthetic features of the SsangYong Tivoli. That said, as is the case with the Alturas, it will also support minor styling tweaks in order to make it look like a Mahindra.
