  The XUV300 is truly a driver’s delight. Built on the European SsangYong Tivoli platform, it offers excellent highway manners and feels perfect for a small family. The only cons are the slightly heavy clutch in city driving and the smaller boot space—but you can’t expect everything in one car. Overall, I’m very happy with the XUV300. Thank you, Mahindra, for producing such energetic engines. Happy driving… vroom
