Mahindra launched the facelifted version of the TUV300 sub-4 meter SUV in 2019. The facelifted TUV300 features mild stylistic updates on the outside and inside, and the mechanicals remains the same.

As the video indicates, the Mahindra TUV300 Facelift gets a stylistic makeover upfront. The grille is squarer, similar to what we saw on the updated Scorpio. There are LED DRLs at the bottom of the headlamps, which now get a blacked-out finish. The fog lamps get chrome surrounds. At the rear, the tail lamps go clear lens while the spare wheel gets a stylish new cover. There’s a hatch lid spoiler as well. On the sides, the alloy wheels get a new design and there’s new cladding. Overall, the makeover on the outside – which is quite subtle – comes together nicely to make the SUV look quite fresh. On the inside, the Mahindra TUV300 gets the familiar seven-seat layout with captain seats up front, a middle bench that seats three and two jump seats in the boot.

The top-end trims of the SUV get art leather seats with a nice cross-stitching, similar to what is offered on Mahindra’s flagship XUV500. The TUV300 also gets a height-adjustable driver’s seat. New design touches on the inside include satin finish around the AC vents and a piano black surround for the centre console’s touchscreen infotainment unit, which now beams out information about the vehicle. The SUV’s infotainment unit gets GPS navigation while there’s a new reverse parking camera that’s built-in. Other safety additions on the SUV include ISOFIX child seat mounts. ABS and twin airbags are standard across all TUV300 variants, which get a body-on-ladder chassis that’s shared with the facelifted Scorpio.

In fact, the TUV300 models at Group 1 Mahindra is the only sub-4 meter compact SUV sold in India that gets a rugged, body-on-ladder chassis. The SUV’s mechanicals remains unchanged. A 1.5 litre, 3 cylinder diesel engine with a twin-scroll turbocharger is standard, and this motor is offered in two states of tune: 80 Bhp-230 Nm and 100 Bhp-240 Nm. Both engines get 5-speed manual gearboxes that drive the rear wheels, and the higher-powered motor offers a 5 speed AMT option.
