Mahindra & Mahindra has decided to dip its hands in the compact SUV segment, which is already too crowded at this point. In fact there are so many of them and they all offer something unique that one is left wondering which to go for. And now, Mahindra& Mahindra seems determined to break into the section with style. Their latest offering, the XUV300 is here to offer something more than what is already there. Hard to believe? But the company has managed to do it.
Though the XUV300 is the younger sibling of the XUV500, the exterior of the car tends to resemble other compact SUVs like the Hyundai Creta and Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. Despite that, the XUV300 has a lot of character of its own. It looks premium and sharp when you see it in the flesh, thanks to the muscular lines on the bonnet and on the sides. The front gets a chrome studded grille and projector headlamps along with fog lamps. The LED DRLs that border the top and side of the headlamps, extend a good measure down and I am still not fancying this design choice. At the very least, it gives the XUV300 a distinctive front that can be recognised from a mile away. The side of the compact SUV seems to end rather abruptly. The razor sharp 17-inch alloy wheels look really nice. The heated and power foldable ORVMs are a segment first feature. The back of the XUV300 is curvier than the rest of the car but looks good. There are big LED tail-lamps and a spoiler. One annoying thing about this vehicle is that the doors take a conscious effort to close and that can become irritating over a period of time.
