A video has appeared online revealing the new more powerful turb0-petrol Mahindra XUV300. This performance-themed variant of the XUV300 was first showcased at the last Auto Expo where it was called the Sportz although it is yet to be seen what Mahindra calls it in production form. The new compact SUV is expected to launch in India in the coming weeks.

This should also make the XUV300 the most potent combustion-engined compact SUV in the country. The XUV300 is expected to be paired with a six-speed manual and possibly a six-speed AMT. The diesel XUV300 makes 115PS and 300 Nm from a 1.5-litre mHawk motor.
