Moving to the rear, the SUV boasts a connected tail-lamp arrangement with an inverted L-shaped motif. Additionally, it is equipped with a rear wiper, a high-mounted stop lamp, and a conventional radio antenna, eschewing the shark-fin type. Previous spy images have also provided a glimpse of the XUV300 facelift's interior, unveiling notable changes such as a larger freestanding infotainment system, a modified dashboard and center console, and a fresh steering wheel design.

Interior And Features

The previous spy shots of the XUV300 facelift reveal a notable enhancement to its interior  a larger touchscreen infotainment system. While the base models are expected to retain the current 7.0-inch screen, higher trims will receive an entirely new 10-inch touchscreen, also set to feature in the upcoming Thar 5-door SUV. This advanced system appears to come with dedicated buttons for audio control and other infotainment functions. The facelifted XUV300 might also adopt a full-digital instrument cluster, among other upgrades.

Powertain

In terms of mechanical aspects, it appears that the XUV300 facelift won't bring about significant alterations. The existing powertrain options are expected to be retained, consisting of the 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engines producing 110hp and 131hp, along with the 1.5-liter diesel engine generating 117hp. These powertrains remain compliant with the BS6 Stage II emissions standards.

The XUV300 facelift is anticipated to hit the market in the coming year. Positioned to compete with formidable rivals such as the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, and the upcoming Kia Sonet facelift, Mahindra's updated offering promises to be a strong contender in the compact SUV segment.
