New Delhi: Mahindra has launched the new XUV300 TurboSport in India with prices ranging from Rs 10.35 lakh-12.90 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The new 1.2-litre T-GDi turbo petrol engine is the most powerful powerplant available in XUV300, beating the existing 1.2 turbo petrol and 1.5 diesel engines. This new engine was available in three higher trims of the XUV300 – W6, W8 and W8(O).
Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport: Powerful engine
The XUV300 TurboSport derives its power from a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol unit producing 130 PS, 230 Nm (250 Nm with overboost), which is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
Compared to the existing 1.2-litre MPFI turbo petrol engine, the new engine features a 250 bar GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) fuel system that improves performance and fuel economy. Mahindra claims acceleration from 0-60 km/h in 5 seconds with the XUV300 TurboSport.
