    In a market where the car prices have soared in th In a market where the car prices have soared in the past few months, could the Mahindra XUV300 be considered the best affordable entry level SUV that the brand is yet to offer?

The XUV300 is the baby in Mahindra’s offering range but unfortunately, it only comes in a manual transmission pair to the 1.5 turbo diesel engine that produces 86KW. It is available in both petrol and diesel and, to be fair, Mahindra diesel engines are fair on fuel – considering how this has becoming a strong selling point for most manufactures.

The SUV has some clean designs with the exterior boomerang style headlights bringing it into the new age. The interior is laid out in a simple, clean interior that is truly no-fuss. 

Pricing for the Mahindra XUV300 starts at R267 999 and comes with a 5 Year/90 000KM service plan.

    The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV has grown up a little, a The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV has grown up a little, and made an even bigger impact on the road. We joined Mercedes at the launch of the fully-electric EQS SUV alongside its younger sibling, the EQE SUV at The Polo on a sunny Friday afternoon; certainly under the right conditions for the day.

Mercedes-Benz has retained its signature interior of the cars, with the addition of the hyper screen that spreads out from the passenger side(unfortunately, not available in our market) in some of the models and a well-off play with regards to how well laid out the storage in the car has been taken into consideration.

EQS SUV: R2 577 000 - also available in a 7-seater option.

Look out for a full review dropping soon.
