Mahindra-XUV-300-vs-Tata-Nexon

In this article, we are comparing the price of each variant of the recently launched Mahindra XUV 300 against the Tata Nexon

Mahindra introduced the much-awaited XUV300 just over a week ago in India and it is based on the SsangYong Tivoli’s platform. The XUV300 is competing head-on against the Tata Nexon, which is one of the consistent performers in the segment and in this article we are comparing the price of each variant of both models.

The XUV 300 is available in four variants – W4, W6, W8 and W8 (O) while the Nexon comes in five variants – XE, XM, XT, XZ and XZ+. Both Mahindra and Tata Motors offer their respective models with the option of diesel and petrol engines but the Nexon is also available with an AMT gearbox option while the XUV300 automatic variant will be introduced later only.

The entry-level XE variant of Nexon can’t be compared directly to the W4 variant as the latter doesn’t come with the same level of equipment and price difference between both variants is more than Rs. 1.50 lakh. So we are comparing the XM variant against the W4, which will make it fair as features list of both models is almost similar.

The price difference between XM diesel and W4 diesel variant is just Rs. 45,000 only. The XT petrol variant is priced at Rs. 7.73 lakh but the W6 variant of XUV 300 comes at a premium of more than 1 lakh compared to Nexon.

The top end petrol Nexon XZ+ comes at Rs. 9.01 lakh but the XUV 300 W8 (O) is priced at Rs. 11.44 lakh. In the diesel model, the price difference has increased to more than 2 lakh.
