Mahindra TUV300 to be launched in India on September 10, 2015

Mahindra has announced that it will launch the TUV300 in India on September 10, 2015.

Mahindra claims that the TUV300 is based on an all-new platform. It has been designed and developed in-house and its research and development has been carried out at the Mahindra Research Valley (MRV) in Chennai.

Spy images have revealed that the TUV300 has a boxy design with five doors, swept back headlamps, a honeycomb mesh grille with thick vertical slats, a flat roof, a spare wheel mounted on the tail gate and vertically stacked tail lamp clusters. It has high ground clearance and short overhangs.

The interiors of the TUV300 will feature 7 seats and a black dashboard with silver inserts. The top-end variant is expected to get an infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity and AUX-in and USB ports.

The TUV300 will be powered by an mHawk diesel engine. This unit is believed to be a reworked version of the 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder power plant from the Quanto.
