    At Rs 21.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), this Indian is quite expensive, yet is still cheaper than the Chief Classic. Personally, if I ever had enough money to spend, and walked into an Indian Motorcycles showroom, I’d end up owning a Chief Dark Horse.

    The Mahindra XUV 300 facelift will be called the XUV 3XO. Should more brands rename models for facelifts?

    Yes, it could give new life to a slow-selling car

     

    15.45%

    Yes, but only if there are significant changes

     

    32.67%

    No, it's confusing and dilutes the brand name
