Mahindra TUV300 Plus: Variants Explained

The stretched version of the TUV300 can seat nine and is available in three variants: P4,P6 and P8

Mahindra launched the TUV300 Plus in India on 21 June, 2018. The SUV is priced between Rs 9.59 lakh and Rs 10.98 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The TUV300 Plus is essentially a stretched version of Mahindra’s sub-4m SUV, the TUV300, with the ability to seat nine, including the driver.  That means it not only shares its platform and design with the smaller SUV, it also gets the same list of features as well. Here’s a list of what each variant of the TUV300 Plus offers

P4 Variant: Rs 9.59 lakh

Features:

• Body-coloured front grille and bumper

• Internally adjustable outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs)

• Hydraulic power steering

• Tilt-adjustable steering

• All four power windows

• Manual AC

• Vinyl seats

• Micro-hybrid technology

• Regenerative braking

• 16-inch steel wheels

• Rear foot step

Worth Buying?

As the P4 variant misses out on basic safety features such as dual front airbags and anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), we won’t recommend anyone buy this variant.

P6 Variant: Rs 9.95 lakh (Rs 36,00 over P4 variant)

Features (over P4 variant):

• Dual front airbags

• ABS with EBD

• Body-coloured door handles and ORVMs

• Fabric seats

• Wheel covers

Worth Buying?

This variant is also scantily equipped. However, if you’re looking for a tough (remember the TUV300 Plus is a body-on-frame offering) yet affordable MPV that can haul a large family, we’d recommend the P6 variant of the TUV300 Plus. However, you’ll still have to shell out some extra cash after buying it for basic equipment like rear parking sensors with camera and an aftermarket audio system, both of which can be had for under Rs 25,000.

Worth Buying?

If you’re buying the TUV300 Plus for yourself and your usage is mainly restricted to the urban environment, this is the variant to go for. The added equipment justifies the price increment as well.
