The TUV300 Plus looks a lot like the regular TUV300, with the only major difference arising out of the longer side profile. Up front, the new TUV300 Plus gets a faux-aluminium trim around the fog lamp housings. In the side profile, the TUV300 Plus looks much longer than the regular TUV300. There’s also an mHawk D-120 badge on the left fender. There are no roof rails on offer. Also, the wrap-around tail lamps look much different from the units on the TUV300. At the rear, you get a plastic cover for the spare wheel. Opening the tailgate reveals two jump seats that can seat as many as four occupants. Mahindra says the interior of the TUV300 Plus has been designed by Pininfarina. The seats come draped in faux leather and the TUV300 Plus comes with a sufficiently long list of features that includes – steering mounted audio & phone controls, a rear defogger along with wash & wipe, a driver seat height adjuster, armrests for the front row, a convenient storage tray below the driver’s seat and lead-me-to-vehicle & follow-me-home headlamps.

Priced between Rs 9.59 lakh and Rs 10.98 lakh, the TUV300 Plus is expected to step into the shoes of the ageing Mahindra Xylo. Here are five important things you should know about the MPV. Essentially an extended TUV300 Don’t mistake the TUV300 Plus for a brand new vehicle. It is essentially an extended version of the standard sub-4m TUV300, based on the same hydroformed ladder frame chassis as the smaller SUV. The Scorpio and the NuvoSport are also underpinned by the same. Here’s how the Mahindra TUV300 and the TUV300 Plus stack up against each other dimensionally: TUV300 TUV300 Plus Length 3,995mm 4,400mm (+405mm) Width 1,835mm 1,835mm (0) Height 1,826mm 1,812mm (-14mm) Wheelbase 2,680mm 2,680mm (0) Extra space behind second row Pictured: Mahindra TUV300 Plus The overall length of the TUV300 Plus has been increased by 405mm over the smaller SUV. And since the overall wheelbase has remained the same, there should be a lot of space behind the second row. The TUV300 Plus can seat four people sideways (ideally children) at the back compared to two in the TUV300. Boot space has also been increased by 312 litres, with the TUV300 Plus offering a boot capacity of 696 litres compared to the TUV300’s 384 litres. With the second row folded (only with the range-topping P8 variant), the boot space of the TUV300 Plus increases to 888 litres compared to 720 litres in the case of the TUV300. Pictured: Mahindra TUV300 More powerful diesel, but no automatic option Unlike its sub-4m counterpart, the Mahindra TUV300 Plus doesn’t conform to the ‘small car’ excise tax, which requires diesel engines’ capacity to be lower than 1500cc. Hence it gets Mahindra’s more powerful 2.2-litre mHawk D120 diesel that does duty in the lower variants of the Mahindra Scorpio facelift. The 2.2-litre diesel is rated at 120PS and 320Nm compared to the TUV300’s 1.5-litre diesel that puts out 100PS and 240Nm. Since the TUV300 Plus borrows the engine from the Scorpio, it gets Mahindra’s 'micro-hybrid' tech along with brake energy regeneration, which is not on offer on the sub-4m SUV. The bigger TUV also features a 6-speed manual transmission while the smaller TUV features a 5-speed manual unit. The TUV300, however, gets an automatic option (5-speed AMT) which the TUV300 Plus doesn’t. Don't miss: Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza AMT: Review || Tata Nexon AMT: First Drive Review It’s interesting to note here that the Mahindra Scorpio is available with a 5-speed manual with the same 2.2-litre diesel engine compared to the Plus’ 6-speed manual. While we’re not sure, we think it would have involved extra effort (for homologation) to do that. Safety features are not standard The TUV300 and the TUV300 Plus share similar equipment list with features such as faux leather upholstery, manual climate control and 7-inch infotainment system with built-in navigation, among others. Even the safety features are largely similar on both the SUVs. However, the TUV300 Plus doesn’t get standard dual front airbags along with ABS and EBD (missing in the base variant) while they’re standard on the TUV300. Moreover, Isofix child seat anchors, which are standard in the smaller TUV300, are not even offered in the bigger SUV. Price Difference Being a sub-4m offering, the TUV300 attracts lower excise taxes than the bigger TUV300 Plus. Hence, there’s a noticeable price difference between the two: Price (ex-showroom, Delhi) TUV300 (manual) TUV300 Plus T4+: Rs 8.25 lakh P4: Rs 9.59 lakh T6+: Rs 8.83 lakh P6: Rs 9.95 lakh T8: Rs 9.53 lakh P8: Rs 10.98 lakh T10: Rs 9.99 lakh Check out: New Ford EcoSport S: First Drive Review Read More on : TUV 300 Plus AMT<doc-sep>Modified On Jun 25, 2018 05:58 PM By Jagdev Kalsi for Mahindra TUV 300 Plus The list includes a range of utility and entertainment add-ons for the new MPV Mahindra recently launched the TUV300 Plus MPV with prices starting from under Rs 10 lakh, ex-showroom. With a 9-seater configuration, it is clearly a vehicle for fleet owners and those with extended families. And while it’s priced attractively, we would not recommend buyers to go for the base P4 variant that comes sans airbags and ABS. You can read our in-depth Variants Explained story here to know more about all the variants of the TUV300 Plus. For those who’re picking one of the P6 or P8 variants, Mahindra has revealed an assortment of accessories for you to pick from. Here’s a look at what’s on offer: Standout accessories Front parking assist - Price: Rs 2500 (approx.) Like rear parking sensors, Mahindra is offering the option to have sensors at the front too. It’s surprising why carmakers don’t have it as a feature in cars or even as an add-on since it’s not very different from rear parking sensors when it comes to functionality. Considering the TUV300 Plus’ substantial dimensions, it’s a feature owners should get fitted. Logo projector - Price: Rs 850 (approx) It’s a feature that might not be used as much as parking aids but is useful when you’re leaving the car at night. The projection of the car’s logo illuminates the surrounding area. Tyre pressure monitoring system - Price: Rs 12300 (approx.) While TPMS may warn you ahead of a flat tyre, maintaining the right tyre pressure can also help you achieve good fuel efficiency. It is, therefore, a feature that can useful for both private users as well as fleet operators. Heads-up display - Price: Rs 6000 (approx.) Mahindra has been offering it as a feature that you can have with any of its cars. The heads-up display projects information like the speed of the car on the front windscreen. It allows you to keep a check on vehicle data like speed without getting your eyes off the road, and should be useful for those who drive on highways often.
