Mahindra’s XUV300 is easily the brand’s best sub-4 metre SUV yet. It’s got the style and the substance to make your heart want it, but your head might think otherwise looking at the space on offer. The W8 (O) is purely an upgrade in terms of safety features compared to the decently loaded W8. With the W8(O), the XUV300 is the second vehicle after the Toyota Yaris in the sub-15 lakh bracket to feature seven airbags, and the safest car in its segment, front parking sensors and 3-point seatbelt for the rear middle seat. This variant also makes the XUV300 the most loaded sub-compact/sub-4m SUV in the market right now. The incremental cost is justified for the added goodies. Buy this variant if you want to be owning an SUV from a segment above. Mahindra XUV300 delivers claimed mileage of 17kmpl and 20kmpl. However, we have tested it in rear life conditions and its petrol variant delivered 12.16kmpl in city and 14.25kmpl on highway. Its Diesel variant delivered 15.40kmpl in city and 19.89kmpl on highway. Approximate service cost for mahindra XUV300 in 5 year is around Rs. 17,937 and Rs. 20,693 for Petrol and Diesel variants respectively. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity.

Thank you so much for answering the query! Is it worth to wait till March'2021 because Mahindra is planning to change brand logo and marketing strategy (maybe will increase prices as well) Or should I buy now in the month of Jan'2021. Because this will affect on road presence of my new vehicle and resale value will get reduced!
