The Mahindra TUV300 Plus facelift gets quite some cosmetic changes on the exterior but interiors remain quite unchanged. It will also get a BS-VI complaint engine.
Mahindra has been caught testing the all-new TUV300 Plus facelift ahead of its official launch. The test mule was spotted on the roads of Chennai and although the car came completely wrapped in camouflage, we can still figure out some design elements of the new car. The TUV300 PLus gets a completely revised front fascia.
To start with, the Mahindra TUV300 Plus facelift gets an all-new grille with a honeycomb pattern and there’s a new bumper down below as well. The test mule was wearing stock headlamps for its test run but we expect the new car to get new headlamps as well, perhaps with DRLs. The new TUV300 Plus sits on a ladder frame chassis like the Scorpio and also gets squarish wheel arches.
The interiors of the TUV300 Plus largely remains unchanged but it will certainly get a few updates. It will get faux leather upholstery in its top spec variants with a 7” touchscreen infotainment system, 4 speakers, tweeters and GPS navigation while second row seats will be folding so as to increase boot space if needed.

Currently, the TUV300 Plus is powered by a 2.2 liter, 4 cylinder, mHawk diesel engine which churns out 120 bhp of power at 4,000 rpm and 280 Nm torque at 1,800-2,800 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 6 speed manual transmission. The same engine will make it to the new TUV300 Plus but will of course be given its fair share of updates to make it BS-VI compliant.

On the safety front, the new car is will come with steering mounted audio and phone controls, dual front airbags, ABS, EBD, reverse parking camera with rear parking sensors, rear defogger and wiper, etc. Currently, the Mahindra TUV300 is priced from Rs.9.47 lakhs, but it is expected to go slightly up with the facelift. On another note, Mahindra is offering quite some discounts on all variants of the current TUV300 before the new one arrives. The discounts are ranging in between Rs. 40,000-60,000 and some dealerships are also offering free accessories and corporate discounts.
