In-depth POV review - 2022 Mahindra XUV300 1.5L W8 Diesel Manual - That torque talks!

I did not expect this one to be performing like this, Mahindra sells it as the safest in Africa, and I think they need to add its performance to their marketing books because at it's price point, not many can reach its performance level. That alone is enough to influence me and tip it to be one of the best in it's segment.
Pricing of the Mahindra XUV300 is as follows:
W4 1.2L Petrol - R249 999
W4 1.2L Petrol SE - R259 999
W6 1.2L Petrol - R275 999
W8 1.5L Diesel - R334 999
W8 1.2L Petrol - R355 999

Best vids on night drive, and lots of insights about the car profile.
It's a pleasure to watch your reviews.

[@sebuwam]

Thank you so much Thulani. I really appreciate the positive feedback. Means so much🙌🏽🙏🏽🙂

[@Mzwandile_Makhowane]

Job welldone. I think you are doing quite well whenever we listen to you (voice) than listening to music amd reading subtitles.
I bet you should gain more audiences by sticking to this method. You are mostly knowledgable and that should work out just perfect for your ratings. Thanks bro 🤗

[@sebuwam]

Oh Mzwandile, it means a lot to have such a constructive feedback. 🥲🙏🏽
For as long as I get cars for a longer period this will be coming. It's not always easy to deliver the message the way I prefer to if there are noises around, like at dealerships and events. I really appreciate this though, a lot🙌🏽🙂🥲🙏🏽

[@amoditshego26]

Great review 👏 as always ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! The quality of your 📹 videos are constantly improving 👏 job well done 👏

[@sebuwam]

Thank you🙂❤️

[@nikhilchengappa123]

Nice review...keep it going. It's my favourite compact SUV in India

[@sebuwam]

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, will keep at it🙂

[@LOVDRV]

Ahh mokgotsi told you I like it without reviewing it, however I'm starting to be lazy this days so the change gears thing might be a problem for me, but I'm glad you liked it specially the drive train. Looks will always be subjective. Ta👊

[@sebuwam]

It really has a fantastic drive train my friend, there is so much to love once you take it to the road. I agree the fact that it's only offered in manual may be problematic for some people. Can be a lot in traffic🤔. Otherwise, thank you so much for coming by, really appreciate it 🙂🙌🏽🙏🏽

Unfortunately for Mahindra a good car is not good enough nowadays especially when the competition has excellent products. Mahindra will have to comprehensively upgrade the interior during the facelift but they need to keep this diesel engine as I hear that in punchy, otherwise the review was very enjoyable🙏🙏🙏

[@sebuwam]

I agree on the interior, they can keep everything as is but do something about the interior and also include LED lights on the main headlighs. Thank you so much Demtumza, really appreciate it🙌🏽🙌🏽🙂

[@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252]

Thanks Sebuwa.
Well the jimny is also competition in terms of size for this vehicle but then again the jimny is full on 4x4 so😅😅
I love this vehicle it would definitely be a good long distance runner to save fuel.
The after sales is bang up to date on service and warranty - will it last? Definitely! Mahindra is a India brand have you checked the weather that side? This side will be breeze for it😊😂

[@sebuwam]

Thanks a lot Ozem🙂. Yes, the weather is favourable for them as it's also hot that side. The Jimny is quite small actually due to it's limited space for rear passengers but it's tough as nails yoh! If anything in this car, I'd keep the engine and the transmission. What a combo, escpecially on long distance drives👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@neomodipa3461]

How reliable are they

[@sebuwam]

They are known for making cars that are tough as nails, felt like it as well until I got to the gravel, I did not worry much about the car itself but the interior plastics🤔

[@shivakumarbv6100]

Runs for 5 lakhs kms without any repairs needed. Their vehiclesare tested in indian extremely road & temperature conditions

[@irvinmkhari9088]

Gear is always like that in most manual cars, it make noise.
