Design & Looks
Each of the three models keeps Mahindra’s rugged yet modern styling. The XUV300 sports a sleek front grille and LED headlamps that look premium for its segment. The revived Thar stays true to its off‑road heritage with boxy lines, round headlights, and a removable roof for that open‑air feel. Meanwhile, the Scorpio (new generation) blends muscular wheel arches with a more refined cabin, offering a blend of strength and sophistication.
Performance & Mileage
All three SUVs share engines that balance power and fuel efficiency. The XUV300 comes with a 1.2‑litre turbo petrol delivering brisk city runs and about 17 km/l combined mileage. The Thar’s 2.0‑litre diesel provides rugged torque for tough terrains, averaging 15 km/l. The Scorpio’s 2.2‑litre diesel is tuned for highway cruising, hitting roughly 14 km/l. Drivers report smooth gear shifts and confident handling, whether you’re navigating traffic or heading off‑road.
Price & Rivals
Thanks to the fresh discount, the XUV300 now starts at roughly Rs 7.9 lakh, the Thar at Rs 9.5 lakh, and the Scorpio at Rs 12.3 lakh (all on‑road, Delhi). These prices put them squarely against rivals like the Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet and Renault Duster, often offering more features for less money. Mahindra’s move follows its recent surge to the second spot in India’s best‑selling car list, a clear signal that price cuts are paying off.
