The XUV300‘s headlamps integrate with the fog lamps and it also gets dual LED DRLs with LED tail lamps. The XUV300 will come with both Petrol and Diesel engine options and will deliver a fun-to-drive performance. The new model will offer segment-leading torque of 300 Nm for the 1.5L Diesel engine & 200 Nm for the 1.2L Petrol engine. A 6-speed manual transmission will be mated to the engines and the availability of an Automatic Transmission is not known as of now,
The XUV300 will be the first compact SUV to offer 7 airbags, including a knee airbag for the driver, ensuring complete safety for all the occupants. The XUV300 will also offer disc brakes on all 4 wheels as standard on all variants.
