Mahindra TUV300 Plus likely to make its debut at the Auto Expo 2018. Engines specs similar to the Delhi-spec Scorpio. Will offer multiple seating configurations
The Mahindra TUV300 Plus has been spied once again. The upcoming Mahindra UV is basically a longer version of the TUV300 sub-4 metre SUV and can carry up to 9 passengers. The new Mahindra TUV300 Plus launch will take place in the first-quarter of next year and it will replace the ageing Xylo MPV in the company’s product portfolio. The TUV300 Plus looks a lot like the donor model until the C-pillar, after which it has a longer overhang and a much more forward-leaning D-pillar. We aren’t big fans of the way the new model looks but that doesn’t affect the higher practicality this model would offer in any way whatsoever.

Of course, the new Mahindra TUV300 is longer than 4-metresย and hence, its manufacturer has decided to ditch the TUV’s 1.5-litre turbocharged oil-burner in favour of a bigger engine. Powering the new UV will be the same 1.99-litre Diesel engine that powers the Delhi-spec Scorpio.
