What You Need To Know About Mahindra's Compact SUV

Why The Mahindra XUV300 Is The SUV You've Been Waiting For

In SA collisions are almost a norm - drivers change lanes and only then indicate, while others fail to keep to a safe following distance, so one’s driving expertise is a secondary factor on South African roads.

To be safe, you need to be in a car that has passed the crash safety test with flying colours. So, when I got a confirmation that I will be putting the Mahindra XUV300, W8, petrol variation to the test, I quickly googled the car, and the first thing that stood out for me was this: its safety credentials remain unmatched in its class.

It is needless to say that nobody leaves their homes with the hope that they will get into a car accident. But getting to your destination without a scratch on the car or losing your cool with fellow motorists is an underplayed win.

Parting ways with just over R300,000 for my protection in a car is not too bad at all. This Mahindra was tested by the Global New Car Assessment Programme for both India and Africa, the XUV300 set a new benchmark for crash safety in its class in Africa, and it boasts a score of 16.42 out of 17 for adult protection, giving it five out of five stars.

And if you drive with your little one sitting comfortably at the back, the car received four out of five stars for child safety.

I am generally not a fan of compact SUVs. They tend to straddle the line of giving you little of everything, and not entirely anything at the same time. That is my general view on compact SUVs, irrespective of the brand. Most of them don’t have enough boot space, and they give you just enough legroom, but you wish the people in the backseat would have enough legroom too.

But South Africans love compact SUVs, and they continue to buy them. That market is one of the toughest and most saturated. The Mahindra XUV300 competes in a rapidly growing segment with rivals such as the Hyundai Venue, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Mazda CX30, Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Chery Tiggo Pro 4, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Haval H1, to name just a few.

With the XUV300, I thought the interior could have had a more luxurious finish to it, and less of the plastic feel. But the feature of an updated nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system makes you smile again. The new system is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, making it easy to just plug and play.

With fuel prices always going up and down, the XUV300’s fuel capacity is also equal to most hatchbacks, taking in 42 litres. I consistently got a consumption of 6.4l /100km, but this could be due to the traffic between Sandton and Centurion in the morning and afternoon.

I still don’t understand why this car has a six-gear transmission; the five gears are enough. But it’s a head-turner. When I shared a few pictures of the car on my WhatsApp status, friends and family couldn’t outright guess the brand of the car. They named the competitor brands and were surprised by the beautiful design by Mahindra.

The Mahindra XUV300 is a car that is reliable and has a beautifully distinguishable design. And you are guaranteed the highest level of safety, should the undesirable happen, especially if you are going to be on the road daily.

These are the safest cars in India according to the Global NCAP crash test rating. Indians need to understand the safety aspect before its too late. Let not the carmakers fool around by providing a list of useless features while making no efforts to make the cars safe.

Safety in cars has taken some major steps ahead in India since Global NCAP first began crash-testing Indian cars. Over the years, new rules have arrived into place making dual airbags and ABS required, with more safety restrictions expected to also be raised in the future. Safety ratings, too have enhanced from the dismal performance of 2014 with the first five-star rated car arriving in 2018 and the number now up to five. We take a look at the best 5 safest made-in-India cars presently on the market in 2022.

as told to my mother in the car:

and the balls is not just the joke in the title, but also there’s this other character, with the eyeball. he witnessed the original beheading, the beheading in the origo, and his eye is poked out right after, so it becomes a memory stick… memory orb. containing the beheading. and this eyeball memory guy chases the silver light of the protagonist (yes mom the silver soul balls guy from the title) because he wants the silver light to penetrate his eyeball and access the eternity of the memory of the beheading so they can make a beautiful memory for themselves and make the narrative less circular… for some

#‘​also you know mom maybe the head is also a ball. and if you are beheaded you become a pole’ #nothing new in this i just wanted to have a record of this. mama says she is fascinated btw #anime metaphysics is easily one of the safest topics to pick when im stuck in a car with her

#bread aside i am enjoying it #but i just realised my brothers gotta drive to work literally now and the storm is like. on top of us #including lightening and hail and high winds #so now im worried about him driving cos i'd be terrified #he says hes chill tho hes all 'cars the safest place to be in a storm!' #i am a 'fight for my fucking life gripping the streering wheel and hyperventilating kind of storm driver #m #text

i do not recommend listening to an eras tour livestream while driving by the way i was in tears

#it connected to the car’s bluetooth so i wasn’t watching or anything obviously but that was NOT the safest #i’m also not driving anymore

[temeraire]

americans will really act like speeding is normal and fine... like you are just as dangerous as someone driving drunk or high. you are not only endangering yourself but also anyone in the car with you anyone in cars near you and anyone walking or riding bikes or Existing near you. youre not #quirky youre a fucking hazard

people will say like "oh speedings not great but going 5 or 10 over is fine. everyone does it in my area so i have to" baby you are contributing to the problem and making it worse <3 the speed limit is the MAXIMUM not a suggestion. you are putting other peoples literal actual lives in danger because you want to go zoomy fast and didnt feel like planning your travel time <3 i wish you a very your fucking car breaks down. get some sense

#kicking the vehicular manslaughter fandom ant nest here but like. some people in the notes on the post i just reblogged have be seeing red #also if people around you are going over the speed limit then the safest thing would actually be to slow down !! #if you have to stop suddenly you do not want the car who is riding your ass behind you to be going full speed!!! #seppos shouldnt drive i dont think #'why are you saying americans thats not fair other countries have speeding as well' look at the notes on the post i just reblogged #listen to literally any americans talking abt driving. its fucjing horrifying #monologues

I NEED TO MOVE OUT NOOWWWWWWW

#i woke up at 3 pm bc this was my 1st day ‘off’ in forever #and when i went to grab something to eat our back door was fully open and my car was nowhere to be found #cat* #so i freaked out and started looking outside but when i realized she wasn’t there and my roommate also wasn’t recently outside #i knocked on her bedroom door and she was like ‘oh sorry i was asleep do you want me to help look’ #YES i want you to help look what are you talking about #eventually i found her bc my cat is the best girl in the world and never left our yard- she was in the crawl space under the house #but not only am i pissed she let my car out then took a nap #but we don’t live in the safest city in the world and while we were both sleeping our door was fully 90 degrees open #so now not only do i feel like kevin (cat) isn’t safe here but I don’t feel safe sleeping here anymore #the lease is up in july and i finally get to leave #this girl is a random roommate my former roommate found to replace her #and the whole process/experience has been awful #i just have to survive 4 months #during the summer i might keep paying rent but fully leave and go live with family #bc my school isn’t in driving distance of any of my family #now i’m thinking about asking someone if they’ll take kevin for a couple months bc im so sorry about her #but my dad has a dog that doesn’t love cats and my best friend is allergic and my mom lives in another state #personal #delete later #also this is unrelated BUT every weekend without fail she does laundry at an insane time in the morning #and our washing machine is the loudest washing machine i’ve EVER heard #and of course it’s right against the wall of my room #not hers #i only get two days a week to sleep past 630 am and she almost always ruins it

Someone got murdered up the street from me????? Like what the actual fuck

#i saw the lights from the cop car but tbh i dont live in the safest area so i thought it was drugs or smth #nope someone was fucking murdered in front of the church right up the block from me

[brad-bakshi-loves-bugs]

people say the home is where the heart is. brad knows it's bullshit, though.

home is where you feel safe.

and the only place brad can feel truly safe is his car. whether it's his old beat up silver 2006 toyota corolla or his shiny new white 2020 audi rs 3, he spends more time in his car than his apartment.

well, when he's not sick, at least.

brad bought his corolla new back in 2006. it was his first car, and he still affectionately refers to it as "ol reliable" even though it's pushing 410k miles. the car's nearly undrivable now - there's something wrong with the transmission and the car rattles suspiciously when he drives faster than 60mph in it, but he keeps it anyway because it's the only non-living thing he's ever been attached to. that old car got him away from his father and zack, after all. he saved for years to buy it.

because the thing is - cars are safe. which is ironic, because people die in their cars far more than they die in their homes. but they aren't murdered in their cars. well, not frequently, at least. brad knows that zack knows his address. no matter how often brad moves, zack has always known his new address in a matter of weeks. brad's given up on constantly uprooting his life to hide from the inevitable.

but there isn't a paper trail to follow when brad is in his car. he can drive as long and as far as he wants, and no one can follow him or stop him. that was part of his reason for getting his current car - he knows zack can't afford a faster car than he has, so theres zero chance of zack stalking and hurting him when he's driving. not to mention the fact that brad doesnt have any neighbors when he's driving around, so he can blast his music as loud as he wants and scream when he's pissed off and no one will ever hear or know. it's a great release.

brad isnt a car guy. he's only owned two cars throughout his entire life. but he would rather die than be carless. thats another reason he kept his corolla when he got his audi - one day, his audi may be in need of repair or something that requires it to be taken into a shop, and brad doesnt feel comfortable without an escape plan. better safe than sorry, after all.

#mythic quest #brad bakshi #headcanon #tay rambles #we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #im not writing all of this into wafwaf it's just something that Exists in that universe as the truth #idk we'll probably see brad driving around aimlessly in later chapters once david stops being a helicopter parent #im currently 3 hours into a 10 hour roadtrip back home from vacation so thats why im writing this #also its something I relate to personally because I drive my shitty ass 2009 toyota camry hybrid for 50-100 miles a night #when it's working that is #I literally go out at 2am and drive around for 2 hours blasting my music and taking the winding backroads driving twice the speed limit #WHEN IT'S SAFE TO DO SO TO CLARIFY #but like I fucking LOVE driving it's so relaxing #and I have really bad monophobia but it doesnt apply when im in the car #so I don't feel safe being home alone which sucks because im way too introverted to be surrounded by people 24/7 #but in the car? I can be alone forever and not be scared #me in my fully locked and secured house: but what if someone breaks in and kills me #me in my 2 ton death machine that's barely functional: this is my emotional support car and where I feel safest #so yeah thats brad too he just doesn't have the monophobia aspect and instead has very good reasons for being scared of his home #im just a big baby

So on the topic of the PGM, which spell had the most surprising outcome for you? And which one brought you the most delight? ❤️

Let me tell you about my first experience with the PGM. Before I was a magician, I was(and am) a student of history. I originally planned to read it out of cultural interest. I found something alluring, and my curiosity compelled me to try a spell.

The purse-strings were tight that winter so I decided to try a prosperity spell. I won't quote or name the specific formula, because I do not want to give an inadvertent recommendation. For those who have read the PGM, it is a Hermes-Thoth prosperity spell using a statue and box. My recreation of the formula was very amateurish. I made senseless substitutions, it was poorly composed, failed to include any warding. It was a mess, but I didn't expect anything so I was unconcerned.

The next day my car was totaled.

Fortunately, it was parked with no one inside at the time. Also the car market was and is terrible, so I got an excellent payout from my insurance. That was my first experience with Hermes-Thoth so I'd say it was both rather surprising and has brought me a great deal of delight.

#it really was about the safest way for a car to get totalled that isnt at a dump #it was parked #the u haul that hit was going at neighborhood speed #no one was inside #everyone was insured #also hermes ended up helping me pay about a year of rent #khaire my dude #hellenic #pgm #personal

people that don't drive: where is your designated emotional catharsis spot? where do you go when you need to scream or sob?

#honestly I think my emotional regulation is heavily dependent on the fact that at least once every 3 months I take a long solo road trip #am i on an 8-hour drive right now? maybe so. #ace txt #no but for real what do you do? I consider my empty car to be the safest emotional space in the world

CW gay american vent hour. i think i'll have the money and motivation to actually go to pride events in portland this year but Pride(tm) is such a corporate circus and honestly increasingly frightened someone is going to bring weapons to the parade lolol. i had a really unsettling encounter the other day where a guy in downtown pdx was walking past talking loudly on the phone about all the public sex and raping of children going on at pride. and when i shouted at him he immediately threatened to called the fucking cops on me!! and then he did! so!

#i dont know how to tag this idk #i skedaddled but i live nearby and i could see that he followed through on his threat bc a cop car materialized in the park lmfao #i Love america. like this is coming from someone with the privilege of very little material danger from being lgbtqia+ #being a quiet white lesbian in one of the safest most progressive parts of the country #like i am very critical of white TME lgbt+ folks overemphasizing or co-opting the very real dangers other ppl in our community face #but it's not fear for myself it's general fear of queerphobic extremists being emboldened to violence by the wretched political climate :) #love how it's not unheard of for far-right militias to flood into portland just to instigate

[bravevolunteer]

although i think it was mostly henry who taught michael how to drive— i'm amused by that being because william ( local control freak ) insisted on doing it first which lead to the Worst Driving Lesson Of All Time and henry just HAD to take over after that

because of who? both. it was both of them.

#like always me making shit up about other characters is always flexible BUT THIS THOUGHT IS KILLING ME #i mean. did you SEE midnight motorist 💀 I Don't Think William Afton Is Always The Safest On The Road #and michael was like 15 with a permit probably. he was busy exhibiting the very real disease of being 15 #pov your father who resents you is trying to teach you how to drive and acting like A Pillar Of Knowledge while also saying he's driven #these roads better than you when he wasn't even sober #and i know damn well michael stole that stupid purple car at least once. i would say sorry but im not HFDGHDF #⁂ ･ﾟ: i was looking for a job‚ and then i found a job‚ and heaven knows i’m miserable now ➛ ooc #drunk driving tw #drunk driving mention #anyway i need to not be silly.
