Homegrown carmaker Mahindra has introduced a new variant to its TUV300 subcompact SUV. The new Mahindra TUV300 T10 sits on top of the model range and gets additional new features on offer. While Android Auto hasn't made it to the TUV in the new trim, there are a bunch of other additions to the model. With the festive season here, the new range-topping TUV will help keep the model relevant amidst competition, especially since the Ford EcoSport facelift is also on its way in the following weeks. While prices are yet to be announced, here's what the new TUV300 T10 has to offer.

Inside, changes are largely on the feature front of the TUV300 T10. The subcompact SUV gets a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, USB and AUX connectivity as well as Bluetooth telephony. The range-topping trim also gets faux leather seat upholstery touchscreen beige that replaces the fabric seats seen on the lower trims. As much as we would have liked to see Android Auto with this update, we do know the feature will make it to the TUV and the KUV as well in the next one year.
