As for the diesel engine of the Mahindra XUV300, it’s a BS-IV compliant 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder unit that develops 116.6 PS at 3,750 rpm and 300 Nm of torque at 1,500-2,500 rpm. It can be had with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automated manual transmission. This engine will also get the BS-VI upgrade, but a little later.
