It could be caused by the carelessness of the occupants, extreme weather conditions or simply short circuits in one of the electronic components. Whatever the cause may be, the important aspect is whether the car can sustain such hazards and still offer safety to the passengers. That is exactly what Mahindra XUV300 has managed to do in this case. The owners have posted these images themselves in the Mahindra XUV300 owners’ club on Facebook.
