The TUV300's (Tough Utility Vehicle) design was inspired by a battle tank, and Italian firm Pininfarina has lent its expertise in designing the sub-4 meter SUV. Mahindra confirmed that the TUV300 will not replace the Bolero or any Mahindra product for that matter.
The 'global model', which will also be manufactured in left-hand drive configuration, will launch in India in mid-September. It will be powered by an all-new 1.5-liter diesel engine called 'mHawk80' with 'superior' levels of NVH and refinement. While the TUV300 is capable of hosting a 4WD architecture, Mahindra will not launch a 4WD variant to begin with.
The TUV300 was developed at the Mahindra research valley in Chennai, and will be produced at the company's Chakan plant, which also makes the XUV500.
