Thoughts On The New Mahindra TUV 300 Facelift

As of now, nothing major is known about the upcoming version of the Mahindra TUV 300, since the company themselves haven't shared anything officially. The TUV 300 brings decent sales figures to the company but many do not prefer it due to its odd-styling. Hopefully, the new version will make up for it.
