History
_(52721105078).jpg)
The XUV300 was initially codenamed as S201.[1] Based on European spec Ssangyong Tivoli, it underwent major modifications to suit Indian roads and market conditions.[2] The SUV was wind tunnel tested at Pininfarina facility in Italy.[3] Mahindra officially revealed the name of XUV300 in December 2018.[4] The XUV is wider and taller than Tivoli in dimensions but is made shorter than the counterpart to fit into sub-four-meter segment.[5] It also resembles its sibling XUV500 in looks with similar projector headlamps and DRLs, front grille and the wheel arches.[2] It was launched on 14 February 2019 in India.
Engine
The XUV300 is powered by a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine and a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder diesel engine with 6-speed manual transmission. A 6-speed automated manual variant was also available. The new petrol engine co-developed by Ssangyong delivers 110 hp (82 kW; 112 PS) of power and 200 N⋅m (148 lb⋅ft; 20 kg⋅m) of torque.[6][7] while the diesel engine borrowed from Mahindra Marazzo but with eVGT (Electric Variable Geometry Turbocharger) outputs 115 hp (86 kW; 117 PS) of power and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft; 31 kg⋅m) of torque.[7]
Safety
India
The Mahindra XUV300 was tested in its most basic safety specification of 2 airbags and standard ISOFIX anchorages.[8] It scored 5 stars for adult occupant protection and 4 stars for child occupant protection, scoring the highest combined rating for any Indian car tested yet and the first four-star child safety rating.[8] Its structure was deemed to be capable of higher loading. It is also the first five-star rated car to offer side and curtain airbags as an option. It offers side, curtain and knee airbags only as an option on all variants total of 7 airbag. ESC is optional. ISOFIX anchorages are standard. The car offers head restraints for all passengers in its higher variants, however the three-point seatbelt which was available for the middle rear occupant on higher variants at launch has been replaced by a less safe 2-point lap belt across the range as of 2021.[9]
Mahindra sponsored a UN ESC test and pedestrian protection test with Global NCAP 1.0 in 2020 (similar to Latin NCAP 2013), which it passed, hence earning the car Global NCAP's Safer Choice Award.[citation needed]

Mahindra XUV400
On 11 September 2022, Mahindra announced the electric version of the XUV 300, named XUV 400 (internal code name S210). It retained the same design and equipment as its petrol-driven counterpart. It was equipped with a 39.4 kWh Li-ion battery pack with an estimated 456 km range as tested by ARAI. It had a front mounted electric motor producing 150 hp and 310 Nm of torque, which enabled a 0 to 60 mph time of 8.1 seconds. Critics praised the vehicle for its performance and ease of use, but many noted its lack of premium features and the overall interior being dated. The XUV400 went through updates in January 2024, (internal code name S237) with a new interior now shared with the faceliftedMahindra XUV 3X0. New equipment included dual 10.25 inch screens and a new steering wheel along with rear AC vents and a full 3-point seat belt for the rear centre seat. Its main competitor was the Tata Nexon EV. Eventually, it was replaced by the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV in 2026.
