Indian automobile company Mahindra has updated the XUV300 compact SUV safety feature. Instead of having seven airbags, the vehicle will now include six airbags. It is being reported by Cartoq that the Mahindra SUV will be getting rid of the knee airbag from its models. This may raise concerns regarding the vehicle's safety rating which is at 5 stars in the Global NCAP crash test. However, the report mentions that the removal of the knee airbag will not affect the safety rating of the XUV300.
The reason why the safety ratings of the vehicle will not change is that the variant that Global NCAP tested was equipped with two airbags only.The automaker will continue to provide the front, side and curtain airbags in its XUV300 SUV. This year, the compact SUV manufactured by Mahindra has introduced quite a few changes in the model. Earlier in July, it was reported that the sub-4m compact XUV300 witnessed a substantial hike with prices increased by up to Rs 24,266. The automaker had also deleted features like the three-point seatbelt for the middle rear passenger seat, and heated wing mirrors as it introduced the price hike of XUV300.
