Once inside, however, the story takes a further turn. For the better. Frankly, the TUV 300 boasts of the best interior we have seen in any Mahindra vehicle to date. The piano black centre fascia combines with the beige and black upholstery, metal inserts and hexagonal bezel to create a fairly rich ambience. Seats are relatively flat and could do with a bit more of lateral support but aren’t uncomfortable. In true SUV fashion, you sit perched high and thus have a commanding view of the road ahead.

The third row gets a pair of jump seats that can be folded out of the way. Boot space, at 384 litres (which can be extended to 720), isn’t too bad either. The only issue here is access to this spacious cabin for the TUV 300 stands tall and the floor of the vehicle can only be accessed using the footboard. Even for a tall person getting into the car straight from the ground is a bit of a stretch. Moreover, the rear door, which allows access to the middle row, is narrow. Not something that facilitates easy ingress or egress. That said, none of these are deal breakers for the Mahindra TUV 300.

There’s a nice 2-DIN infotainment system that offers the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity, USB and aux-in, and there are steering-mounted controls. There are also reverse parking sensors and plenty of stowage spaces. On the whole, the TUV 300 is a practical vehicle for the garage, no doubt. But how exactly is it like to drive? Read on to find out.
