Mahindra today announced that its newest subcompact SUV, the Mahindra XUV300, has crossed the 13,000 bookings milestone in India. While the new sub-4 metre SUV was launched in India in mid-February, bookings for the new XUV300 have been underway since January 9, 2019. The fact that the new XUV300 has already received over 13,000 bookings is definitely good news for Mahindra, considering the fact that the SUV is facing some strong competition from the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, For EcoSport and Tata Nexon.
