Pros And Cons Of A Used Mahindra XUV300 (W8 Diesel)
A secondhand Mahindra XUV300 model for sale is considered quite the used car bargain. Here are the pros and cons of a used XUV300 W8 diesel model.
-
Pros:
- Engine - "Damn good", especially between 1500 to 2500 rpm range. Lunges forward like a bullet.
- Amount of features - steering direction, TPMS, steering comfort, cruise control, sunroof so on and so forth.
- The car seems very nimble even when it weighs around 1,400 kgs.
- Light controls especially the steering, gear shifts and clutch. I rode Ecosport and Scorpio both in diesel avatar and I can vouch for XUV 300 clutch, really eases driving in town.
- Suspension is brilliantly tuned, hats off to Mahindra engineers.
- NVH/refinement is on par with Hyundai.

-
Cons:
- Lack of dead pedal, and then cramped up footwell makes it hard to accommodate your feet between the clutch and center console, especially with those oversized sandals.
- Lack of under-thigh support in both front and rear seats is a downer, but that could be personal preference.
- Beige (rather white) leatherette seats could be hard to maintain in the long run - fingers crossed.
- Lack of telescopic steering adjustment is missed a little.
- Of course, ubiquitous complaints about the lack of boot space.
- The bottom/low-end pull of the engine is pathetic. I guess XUV300 has been designed only for mid-range.
