How Efficient Is The Mahindra XUV300 Diesel Manual In The Real World?
Mahindra’s claimed fuel efficiency figure for the XUV300 diesel, which packs the most powerful engine in its class, is 20kmpl. How much does it deliver in the real world?
The feature-rich Mahindra XUV300 has quickly become one of the most popular subcompact SUVs in terms of buyer demand. It is available with both petrol and diesel engines with manual transmission as well as an optional automated-manual transmission (AMT) with its diesel engine. We recently tested the XUV300 in its diesel-manual avatar and noted what it returns in real-world condition against what Mahindra claims. Here are the numbers:
| Displacement |
1.5-litre |
| Max power |
117PS |
| Peak torque |
300Nm |
| Transmission |
6-speed MT |
| Claimed fuel efficiency (ARAI) |
20kmpl |
| Tested fuel efficiency (city) |
15.40kmpl |
| Tested fuel efficiency (highway) |
19.89kmpl |
| Fuel Efficiency |
50% in city and 50% on highway |
25% in city and 75% on highway |
75% in city and 25% on highway |
| 17.35kmpl |
18.53kmpl |
16.32kmpl |
The real-world fuel efficiency results reveal that the XUV300 diesel manual is not as fuel efficient as Mahindra claims. This is quite expected since the claimed figures are recorded under controlled conditions.
If you drive predominantly in the city, expect the subcompact SUV to return somewhere around 16kmpl over a longer duration. Please note that the figure can drop lower if you have to negotiate your way through dense traffic often. On the other hand, if your daily routine involves a route that is relatively empty and where you can cruise comfortably, expect the overall fuel efficiency figure to go over 18kmpl.
Your findings may vary from ours as fuel efficiency differs with driving conditions, car condition and driver behaviour. If you’re an existing XUV300 diesel manual owner, do share your findings in the comments below.

Xuv300 Diesel is very good SUV most powerful and good driving . average 24k.m per litre.
After a 3 months period from the date I bought, I found that xuv300 w8 (O) is the best vehicle compared to all SUV 's in terms of features ,price and comfort that a person feel while driving
