Coming in 2020 to South Africa is the new revised Mahindra TUV300 and it looks very good. It remains the same TUV300 it used to be with a few key features difference. Because this SUV is still built on the Scorpio platform, it will stay a very strong and rugged SUV, even though it will only come with rear-wheel drive.
The biggest change to the Mahindra TUV300 is to the front end.
The most notable change for 2020 is the front end of this Mahindra TUV300. The grille, headlamps and bumper have neem redesigned as well as the taillights and spare wheel holder. Mahindra has also made changes to the side cladding and has given the option of 4 colours to kit your TUV300 in 2020 out with. They are Lava Red, Diamond White, De Sat Silver and Sunset Orange.
The cabin has been revised.
Inside has also had a look over by Mahindra but not much has changed. The 7-seater feature is now standard and there is new silver detailing around the air vents and main controls. They look good but we hope they feel good too.
An infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity and a Voice Messaging system are now standard too with air conditioning and electric windows. To make this care more comfortable for more people, the diver seat is now height-adjustable and it comes with electric windows.
Rear-wheel drive and ready to go.
The 2020 Mahindra TUV300 will come with a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder turbodiesel as its heart. It will drive a very specific 73.5 kW and 240 Nm right to the rear wheels while being controlled by a 5-speed manual gearbox.
More standard features include power steering and rear-mounted Intellipark parking assistance. In terms of safety, this 2020 version of the Mahindra TUV300 has some great standard features too. These include dual front airbags and ABS brakes with Cornering Brake Control (CBC) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD).
The 2020 price of the Mahindra TUV300 T8 will cost R254,999.
This updated TUV300 will only be available in the T8 model. It comes with a 5-year/90 000 km service plan and 3-year/100,000 km comprehensive mechanical warranty and Roadside Assistance Service. Services, after the initial 10,000 km lubrication service, is done every 20,000 km.
