The 2019 TUV300 Plus, codenamed M102 is likely to come with an updated touchscreen infotainment system and a BS6 compliant engine.
Mahindra & Mahindra is gearing up to make their engines BS6 ready before the emission norms hit from April 2020. And the recent spy shot is of the new Mahindra TUV300 Plus which has been spotted on the Indian roads.
The new Mahindra TUV300 Plus is nothing but a longer version of its sub-4-metre SUV, TUV300 and the changes will mostly be cosmetic as seen in the shorter version. The front fascia will continue with the bolder and more agile looking face. The grille up front is redesigned and gets piano black finish with black inserts.
The redesigned headlamps will feature LED DRLs and have been finished in carbon black effect. The side profile will remain the same except for the addition of body cladding which gives rugged look to the car while the rear profile of the car gets revised taillights.
