Pros Cons of Mahindra XUV300

Pros

  • The 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivers an impressive 128 bhp and 230 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful subcompact SUV in India.
  • It features an overboost function that provides an extra 20 Nm of torque for short bursts, enhancing overtaking capabilities and overall performance.
  • The suspension system is well-tuned, providing a smooth ride over rough roads, and the car maintains stability even at high speed

Cons

  • There is noticeable turbo lag, especially during initial acceleration, which can make city driving feel less responsive.
  • The long gear throws and clutch travel can feel cumbersome, especially in heavy traffic, reducing driving comfort.
  • The cabin lacks key modern features like wireless charging, wireless smartphone integration, and ventilated seats, which are now common in competitors.

Verdict

The Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport offers an exhilarating driving experience, thanks to its powerful engine and impressive performance features. While it has some downsides, such as turbo lag and missing cabin tech, it remains a compelling choice for those seeking a sporty, performance-oriented subcompact SUV. With competitive pricing and solid road performance, it’s a great option for buyers who prioritize power and driving dynamics over additional features.

Pros Cons of Tata Nexon

Pros

  • Five-star safety rating and standard six airbags
  • The twin 10.25-inch screens
  • The diesel engine has excellent highway fuel economy

Cons

  • The petrol engine feels slightly jerky
  • Rearward visibility is poor due to the sloping roofline
  • The AMT gearbox on lower variants feels slow

Verdict

Tata fixed the dated interior of the previous generation and fitted in some class-leading screens and premium materials on the current Nexon. Its exterior styling makes it look like a much larger, more expensive SUV on the road as well. Although the touch-sensitive controls require a learning curve, and the petrol engine lacks the refinement of its Korean rivals, the safety suite is what makes this car so practical for families. Moreover, the diesel variant is the undisputed one for interstate highway cruises.

Seshan summarises,

“I have known owners who have hardly faced many issues with their Nexon and are quite happy with their purchase.”
