This review is MISLEADING regarding the petrol engine. It is deceptive for the manufacturer to offer two petrol engines, with the majority of people purchasing one, but reviewers focusing on the engine available only in luxury models. The direct injection engine is not available in any of the affordable variants. Therefore, the review should cover the regular petrol engine.

Most segment first features will probably get removed by the next year. Features will be cut & prices will be increased. Lower variants will never show up at the showroom till the next yr and only top variants will be delivered. It's classic Mahindra strategy. That's precisely the reason i didn't buy the xuv 300 coz they removed the 17 inch wheels which were my favourite 😢.

Interiors are a definite step up, and honestly, I liked the previous exterior styling. This connected type tail light section drops the distinctive look of all cars.

While at it, please whack the designer for writing the extinction chapter of XUV300 series. XUV700 he had only the logo designed from him and post that it is steady downhill, look at that copper garnish in xuv400 and now this. xuv400 is a neat vehicle if the copper garnish is removed. See what happened to Nexon after he left Tata, the design language this person uses is definitely controversial. It makes one cry. Atleast I am happy that I don't want any Mahindra vehicle right now.

I liked the old XUV 3OO's front styling. It looked like a proper SUV. All they needed to do is fix the rear and probably tweak the front a bit. Instead... They go ahead and destroy the front end by scooping the light inwards and making it vertical. Then they add a led strip to the rear... makes it look very ordinary. 👎👎

For people criticizing the XUV 3XO, please note that the car has mostly leather finishes and less plasticky interior compared to other rivals. The Level 2 ADAS is a really good addition as it helps provide additional safety features that are crucial to preventing unnecessary accidents. The design may not be appealing to most, but this design certainly beats the likes of Hycross. The price is proper for all the features offered. The sunroof is not for the summer. Also, the limited boot space is fine if you are mostly going to use the car in the city.
