So this just happened and might be relevant to the quality of Mahindra in South Africa. This will make it the first car tested between the AA and NCAP to get 5 stars.

The Mahindra XUV300 SUV has done it again.

Interesting, I am saying this because it's the last car I thought would be appealing to a wife, I like it as well, although I can't explain why, there's just something about me and boxy cars.

You will need to check the safety features because it's a body on frame, rear wheel drive car, you'll also need to test drive it as I don't think it will be as refined.

She has a different taste, have an old fj Cruiser with a v8 motor and she loves it.

Congrats to her, does it have an AWD option or it's just the RWD?

Thabks, she is so happy with it. No just RWD.
