Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport derives power from a new 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine developing 130 PS maximum power and 250 Nm of peak torque
Mahindra & Mahindra has today announced the launch of the XUV300 TurboSport in the domestic market and is priced at Rs. 10.35 lakh for the W6 TGDi variant and it goes all the way up to Rs. 12.90 lakh for the top-spec W8(O) TGDi trim (both prices, ex-showroom). It is the first SUV to derive from an all-new 1.2-litre mStallion TGDi engine, paired only with a six-speed manual transmission.
The homegrown SUV manufacturer says the over-boost capability enables a momentary peak torque as high as 250 Nm. It has been made available in a total of four exterior colour schemes including three new dual-tone colours – Blazing Bronze with black roof top, Napoli Black with white roof top, Pearl White with black roof top and the Blazing Bronze is in a single-tone shade while the existing Pearl White and Napoli Black colours continue to be offered with this variant.
To differentiate itself from the regular variant, it features an enhanced exterior with the presence of red grille inserts and all-black ORVMs along with an all-black leatherette interior, chrome-finish pedals and dual-tone exteriors amongst other changes. The Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport is claimed to do zero to 60 kmph in just five seconds.

| W8 TGDi | ₹ 11.65 Lakh | ₹ 11.80 Lakh |
