Last month, Mahindra said that it plans to extend the range of KUV 100 and TUV 300. KUV 100 might get an Electric and diesel AMT versions by next year. Sometime back, TUV 300 Plus was launched, which is basically a 7-seater version of TUV 300. Now, it also plans to give a mid-life cycle update of the TUV 300. The updated version should probably launch by 2019. Now, for the first time, we have the spy video of the TUV 300, which gives an outline of its exteriors.
As seen in this video, we can see that it gets a new set of alloy wheels, a touchscreen infotainment, and an X-Shaped wheel cover. Rest of the design looks identical to the current TUV 300. As we can see, the test mule looks like it a high-end variant. It might get an updated front grille and some revisions to the front and rear bumpers. Also, we can spot the same dual-tone beige and black interiors.
