Mahindra’s XUV300 TurboSport has been launched in India with prices ranging between ₹10.35 lakh and ₹12.90 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The new 1.2-litre T-GDi turbo-petrol motor is said to be the highest-spec powertrain available with the XUV300, topping the existing 1.2 turbo-petrol and 1.5 diesel engines. This new motor has been made available on the higher three trims of the XUV300 — W6, W8 and W8(O).
The XUV300 TurboSport draws its power from a 130hp, 230Nm (250Nm with overboost function), 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, turbo-petrol unit that comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
In comparison to the existing 1.2-litre turbo-petrol MPFI engine, the new motor features a 250bar GDI (gasoline direct injection) fuel system that improves performance and fuel efficiency. Mahindra claims a 0-60kph sprint time of five seconds with the XUV300 TurboSport.
