The eXUV300 concept from the 2022 Auto Expo showcased a near-production model with only a few cosmetic changes over the regular internal combustion-engined XUV300. The notable differences came courtesy of the closed-off grille and vents on the front bumper, blue highlights along the body, the lack of conventional outside rear-view mirrors and the unique design wheels and headlamp internals.

Going by the concept we can expect the production vehicle to get some cosmetic changes over the petrol and diesel model though some of the concept car-like elements of the 2022 show car will be replaced.
