Steering Wheel ( eyes tide you will bet your driving a luxury hatchback car, easy & communicative ) 6. Engine or Power ( when we think 1500cc engine, 3 cylinder & 1.7tons weight this is another slow piece of junk on road - BUT 2 stage turbo helps you right from 1450 Rpm - 40kmph mark and take to all the way to max of 170kmph. You will never run out of breath ) 7. Lamps ( Head Lamps are great - You can own the road during night travels, Turn Assist lights are awesome - specially when you driving up or down the hills, Fog lamps does its work, High beam is excellent - avoid using if not required ) 8. Seats ( Driver and Navigator Seats are the best with lumbar Supports, arm rests & generous cushioning. Middle Seat has good cushioning, great under thigh support, idle seating posture for long and long travelling ( will never get back pain travelling in TUV 300 for any long distance, Last row Jump seats any 2 adults of 5ft 9inches can fit for short rides upto 100kms any thing more than 100kms will turn as punishment - depends on tarmac u drive ) Disadvantages or Areas require upgrading, 1. Reverse Lights are poor 2. Horn is pathetic 3. Body Roll at Jump seats are worse, Middle seats do feel body roll at flyover joints & wavy roads. 4. Rear wheel spin does happen even during slight off-roading. 5. Wheel sizes can be bigger as Scorpio. 6. Can add fuel consumption readings Overall: Mahindra's TUV300 - MHawk 100 - 1.5ltr engine - 240Nm & 100Bhp: Manly tough looking vehicle at 11 lakhs roughly onroad at Coimbatore. Great Power, Great Look, Great Presence, Great Style, Great Price, Great Comfort for long driver ( 5 adults ) Decent Fuel Consumption, Beyond all above Its from Indian manufacturer & from most reliable Mahindra & Mahindra I am happy with my TUV.
