The top-spec model includes features like dual-zone climate control, a sizable 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, steering modes, projector headlamps, LED DRLs, and much more. With a 5-star safety rating for adult occupant protection from Global-NCAP and safety features like 6 airbags, corner braking control (CBC), ABS with EBD, and Traction Control (TC), the Mahindra XUV300 SUV also maintains its position as one of the safest sub-4m SUVs available for purchase in India.

The Mahindra XUV300 currently faces competition from models like the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Honda WR-V, all of which are sub-4 metres in length. The Indian automaker hopes to increase sales in the coming weeks with the release of the updated version of the Mahindra XUV300 SUV.
