Powertrain
The Mahindra XUV300 T-GDi draws its power from a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, turbo-petrol unit which produces 130hp and 250Nm of peak torque and comes mated to a six-speed manual transmission. In comparison to the existing 1.2-litre turbo-petrol MPFI engine already equipped in the XUV300, the motor features a 250bar GDI (gasoline direct injection) fuel system which improves performance and fuel efficiency.
The new powerful engine produces 20hp and 30Nm more than 110hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol unit, and it now makes the XUV300 the most powerful compact SUV in its class. Both turbo-petrol engines would co-exist, along with the 115hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine.
