Mahindra XUV300 2025: New Bold Styling, 6-Speed Auto & ADAS Tech

Mahindra has officially taken the wraps off the XUV300 2025 facelift, one of the most anticipated compact SUVs in India. Packed with fresh design elements, smarter tech, and an updated automatic gearbox, the new XUV300 is set to heat up the sub-4m SUV segment. With prices expected to start under ₹10 lakh, this new model blends muscular looks with premium features and modern safety upgrades like ADAS.

Bolder Front-End & Sportier Design Language

The 2025 XUV300 gets a redesigned front fascia inspired by Mahindra’s latest SUV lineup. It features a sharper grille with gloss black accents, sleeker LED headlamps with dynamic DRLs, and a more aerodynamic front bumper. The rear gets a connected LED light bar, updated tail-lamps, and a new tailgate design with bold XUV300 badging. New dual-tone colors, diamond-cut alloy wheels, and roof rails give it a more premium and sporty appeal.

Updated Engine Lineup with 6-Speed Automatic

Under the hood, the XUV300 2025 will continue to offer both petrol and diesel options — a 1.2L turbo-petrol engine (110 PS) and a 1.5L diesel engine (117 PS), both BS6 Phase 2–compliant. The highlight is the new 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, replacing the previous AMT, ensuring smoother performance and better driving dynamics. Manual transmission will remain standard across lower trims.

All-New Interior with Floating Touchscreen & Digital Cluster

Step inside and you’ll find a major cabin overhaul. The XUV300 2025 features a larger floating 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a fully digital instrument cluster, and a refreshed dashboard layout. Soft-touch materials, leatherette upholstery, and ambient lighting enhance the premium feel. The SUV also includes a sunroof, push-button start, wireless charger, rear AC vents, and more.

First-in-Segment ADAS Features

Mahindra is set to make the XUV300 2025 one of the safest in its class by introducing Level 1 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) features. These include forward collision warning, lane departure warning, high beam assist, and driver drowsiness detection. This makes it the first sub-4m SUV in India to offer such advanced safety tech.

Excellent Safety & 5-Star Build

The outgoing XUV300 was already rated 5 stars in Global NCAP, and the new version continues the legacy with over 60% high-strength steel structure. Standard safety includes 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, hill-hold assist, traction control, and all-wheel disc brakes. With the addition of ADAS, Mahindra strengthens its focus on passenger safety.

Expected Price & Launch Timeline

Mahindra is expected to launch the XUV300 facelift in India by end of 2025. The starting price is likely to be around ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), with top variants going up to ₹14.5 lakh. It will continue to compete with the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza, and Kia Sonet in the highly competitive compact SUV market.

Conclusion:

The Mahindra XUV300 2025 is not just a cosmetic upgrade — it’s a comprehensive transformation with bold looks, powerful engine options, a refined automatic gearbox, and segment-first ADAS safety. With its expected pricing under ₹10 lakh, the XUV300 facelift could be one of the most compelling SUVs in India for 2025.
