Mahindra XUV300 Facelift To Feature ADAS? New Test Mule Suggests

Mahindra is conducting thorough testing on the upcoming XUV300 facelift, and the test vehicle for the new SUV has been sighted multiple times. With each sighting, the test mule has unveiled fresh details about the upcoming SUV. In the latest spotting, a new observation has raised speculation that the upcoming facelift could potentially feature Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This speculation is rooted in the presence of a noticeable bulge observed above the windshield of the recently spotted test mule.

Mahindra XUV300 Facelift

The upcoming facelift will undergo significant design overhauls, drawing inspiration from the brand's BE.05 electric SUV. It will showcase revamped headlamps, alterations to the front and rear bumpers, a distinctive C-shaped LED tail lamp configuration, and is also expected to feature a fresh alloy wheel design and a redesigned tailgate. This design transformation aligns it with Mahindra's latest SUV offerings, including the XUV700 and the forthcoming electric concept vehicles. Notably, the recent test mule has been observed with a protrusion above the front windshield, leading to speculation that it could be housing the ADAS radar, an unconventional placement for the sensor which is typically located on the front bumper.

As for the interior, one of the significant updates will include a larger touchscreen infotainment system. The recently sighted test mule revealed a new touchscreen infotainment unit, appearing to be around 10 inches in size. Notably, this screen features a central knob that is likely used for volume control. The steering wheel design appears to be in line with the current generation variant, although Mahindra may introduce some modifications to the center console. In terms of features, we can expect the inclusion of ventilated front seats as a new addition. On the safety front, it is likely to incorporate a 360-degree camera system, alongside advanced ADAS technology.
