Mahindra XUV300 boasts of a 5-star safety rating at the Global NCAP. It is one of India’s few 5-star safety-rated SUVs. The XUV300 wears this badge with pride and has gained plenty of buyers as a result. In these images, it is clear that the SUV is completely destroyed. In an unfortunate incident, the moving vehicle caught fire and was reduced to ashes soon after. The fire was so intense that one can barely recognize the vehicle. While these are horrifying images, the good news is that no one was injured in this mishap. The extensive safety equipment of the XUV300 is rarely to thank here.

We have seen this happen plenty of times with other cars as well that they catch fire. There could be a lot of reasons for this. It could be caused by the carelessness of the occupants, extreme weather conditions or simply short circuits in one of the electronic components. Whatever the cause may be, the important aspect is whether the car can sustain such hazards and still offer safety to the passengers. That is exactly what Mahindra XUV300 has managed to do in this case. The owners have posted these images themselves in the Mahindra XUV300 owners’ club on Facebook.
