Mahindra XUV300 Bookings Halted, Will Resume With The Facelifted Version

However, some dealerships across the country are still taking bookings, perhaps for the remaining stock of the sub-4 metre SUV

Update (29/04/24): Mahindra has launched the XUV 3XO, which is essentially the facelifted XUV300, from Rs 7.49 lakh (introductory ex-showroom pan-India).

The Mahindra XUV300 has been due for an update for a while and looks like we’ll be getting its facelifted version soon, as Mahindra has stopped taking bookings for the subcompact SUV. In an investor meet, the CEO of Mahindra Auto shared this information and revealed that the bookings will resume with the facelift.

Mahindra’s Statement

At its investor meet, Rajesh Jejurikar, executive director and CEO (Auto & Farm sector), Mahindra & Mahindra, stated while responding to a question about waiting periods and model updates “What is going off from a numbers point of view is also 300 because we're not taking bookings on that now. So, clearly that whole thing is gone and that will come back when we come with the mid cycle refresh.”

While it is stated that Mahindra has stopped taking new bookings for the XUV300, some dealerships are still taking orders for the current stock. Mahindra has also stated that it will significantly lower production for the XUV300 for the next couple of months as it wraps up the pending orders. But sooner or later, that too will be stopped as Mahindra seems to be close to finishing work on the facelifted XUV300, which is expected to be launched in the coming months.
