Mahindra XUV 300 Amt Performance Gets Hassle-Free

It was in early February 2019 that we had reviewed the Mahindra XUV 300.

We reviewed the 1. 5 litre diesel engine vehicle mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The XUV 300 also comes with a 1.2 litre petrol engine.

Now the XUV 300 1.5 litre SUV comes mated to a 6-speed automated manual transmission. Here we shall be writing about the performance of the AMT and not about the vehicle’s exteriors or interiors. The vehicle continues to be feature-rich with a whole host of functions like smart sunroof, power windows on all four windows, power ORVMs, a 7 inches touch screen, Blue Sense app with smartwatch connectivity, 3 point seat belts for all passengers and adjustable headrests for all three rear passenger, dual-zone auto AC, front parking sensors, etc. The exterior features too are equally charismatic.

Built by leading transmission makers Marelli, this 6-speed automated manual transmission comes with a monostable shifter which essentially toggles between manual and auto mode. The shifter has a centre position and you can gently tap it in the direction you want to activate the mode you prefer.
