Mahindra XUV300 facelift spotted testing! Looks small!
Tumblr media
Let's talk straight away about the spy shots. At the front, Mahindra seems to be using temporary lights, but we could see a circular headlight on the facelift. Also, the car gets an upright grille and some sculpted features on the bonnet. As we move to the side profile, we can see the XUV300 DNA. Mahindra has hidden the alloy design. The tail lamps get a big protrusion, but this could be just for the testing car
Tumblr media
The interiors of the XUV300 facelift are yet to be spied. But Mahindra has a lot of work to do when it comes to the interior of the car. It will have to update the dashboard to make it feel modern. Maybe Mahindra should try a floating infotainment system to give the dashboard a better look. Other features that Mahindra could add include a digital instrument cluster, ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera, ambient lighting and a premium sound system
Tumblr media
The XUV300 is back in the news, with spy shots coming in every month. Earlier this year, it seemed like Mahindra had forgotten about the XUV300 facelift. But these new spy shots have given new hope to prospective buyers. When can we expect the launch? Mahindra could launch the XUV300 facelift by the end of this year or early next year.

Tata Safari Facelift Uncamouflaged Interior Spied
Tumblr media
●The 2024 Tata Safari’s touchscreen housing could also be revised as part of the new centre console.
●The SUV will likely get ventilated front seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen and a panoramic sunroof.
●Its safety kit could be updated with adaptive cruise control and six airbags as standard.
●It will retain the 2-litre diesel engine from the current Safari.
●The 2024 Tata Safari may also get the 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo.
Expected to go on sale sometime next year, with prices likely starting from Rs 16 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Tata Safari facelift is being thoroughly put through its paces ahead of its expected launch in early 2024. While its updated interior had already been caught on camera earlier, the latest spy shots show it without any camouflage, providing a clear glimpse of the new center console and steering wheel design
Tumblr media
The picture reveals significant updates to the centre console, including restyled centre AC vents and possibly a revised housing for the same 10.25-inch touchscreen unit. Below it is the new climate control setup, which is expected to come with haptic controls
Another notable feature is the all-new 4-spoke steering wheel, inspired by Tata's Avinya concept. It incorporates a display in the centre, which will possibly feature an illuminated Tata logo and additional driving information. As seen in previous spy images, it also gets a new drive mode selector, likely featuring a display similar to the one on the Tata Nexon EV Max. Behind that, a new gear selector is also visible

Tata Nexon Facelift Test Mule Spotted In The Wild Once Again
Tumblr media
● Tata began testing the Nexon facelift in early 2023.
● It is the second major refresh while the first facelift came in early 2020.
● Exterior updates include a new alloy wheel design, vertically stacked LED headlights and connected LED taillights.
● Inside, it will have a new steering wheel, updated upholstery and centre console.
● Likely to get with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, up to six airbags and 360-degree camera.
● Expected to be launched in early 2024 with prices starting at Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom)
Since the early months of 2023, there have been ample sightings of the Tata Nexon facelift undergoing testing, with the camouflage slowly reducing as time goes on. We have now spotted another test mule of the updated SUV on tests – although still draped in heavy camouflage – suggesting it’s inching closer to being production-ready. This will be the second major overhaul for the sub-4m SUV after the 2020 update.
Design Details Revealed So Far
Its profile is unlikely to get any major design changes save for the revised alloy wheels. At the back, the updated Nexon will have a reshaped boot, a tweaked bumper and connected LED taillights. The facelifted Nexon will also come with dynamic turn indicators as seen on a test mule recently. All these design changes will likely make their way on the Nexon’s EV versions as well
Tumblr media
Design changes on the Nexon facelift will be carried forward inside the cabin as well. Some of the interior revisions include a Tata Avinya-like steering wheel (with a rectangular display in the centre), violet upholstery, and a slightly redone centre console.
Features on board the facelifted Tata Nexon will likely include a digital driver’s display, a 10.25-inch touchscreen system, paddle shifters, wireless phone charging, ventilated front seats, and auto climate control.
Passenger safety is expected to be taken care of by up to six airbags, 360-degree camera, ISOFIX child seat anchorages, and a reversing camera.
Tumblr media
We are expecting Tata to launch the Nexon facelift sometime early next year at an expected starting price of Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom). It will continue to compete with the Maruti Brezza, Renault Kiger, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite, Mahindra XUV300 and Hyundai Venue, while also taking on crossover SUVs like the Maruti Fronx and Citroen C3.

The “Toyota Fronx” Exists, And May Arrive In 2024!
The Toyota-badged Fronx will likely get cosmetic and badging differences inside and out as seen on other shared models between Toyota and Maruti
Tumblr media
●It will be the fifth shared model between Toyota and Maruti.
●Toyota could benefit from having its own Fronx as its new sub-4m ‘SUV’ offering.
●Will likely share its engine options with the Maruti Fronx, including the CNG powertrain.
●It’s also expected to have the Fronx’ features including the 9-inch touchscreen and auto AC.
●Launch expected in 2024, with prices likely to start from Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom).
By now, you must have noticed the few models being introduced are cross-badged products as part of the Maruti Suzuki-Toyota alliance. Some popular names include the Maruti Grand Vitara-Toyota Hyryder SUVs and the more recent duo of the Toyota Innova Hycross-based Maruti Invicto premium MPV. It has now come to the fore that Toyota will launch its own version of the Maruti Fronx, sometime in 2024.
Why Does Toyota Need A Fronx?
Tumblr media
One of the main reasons for Toyota to offer a rebadged Fronx that it lacks a sub-4m SUV in its Indian portfolio. In contrast, its alliance partner – Maruti Suzuki – has two models in this category, making its SUV range more accessible with a potential starting price well under the Rs 10 lakh mark.
A Familiar Treatment
Tumblr media
The Toyota-badged Fronx will likely get a few cosmetic and badge differences inside and out over Maruti’s crossover SUV as seen on some shared products between the two carmakers like the Baleno-Glanza and the Innova Hycross-Invicto duo. The most prominent visual changes are expected to be the grille, headlights, and interior colour scheme.
Powertrain Details Of The Maruti Fronx
Specification
Tumblr media
The Maruti Fronx’ 1-litre turbo-petrol engine comes with mild-hybrid technology. We expect Toyota’s version of the Fronx to come with the same set of powertrains, while the CNG variants might be launched later.
