We expect Mahindra to formally announce commencements of bookings soon. If you plan to buy the sub-compact Mahindra SUV in Feb or March 2019, we would suggest you to go ahead with the booking, but ensure that you get the dealer’s receipt with the booking amount mentioned. Generally, dealers open bookings as and when they get some confirmation about the car’s launch.

Once launched, the XUV300 will go up against rivals like the Maruti Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon and Ford EcoSport in the sub-4m SUV segment.
