In spite of the fact that India is the home market of Mahindra, we are still missing the model in the country.

When it comes to the powertrain, it is similar to the one which was showcased at the 2016 Auto expo a couple of months earlier. Available in both petrol and diesel, the engines are also mated with both manual and automatic transmission unit as an option. The former is powered by a 1.6-litre trim, which is good enough to deliver a maximum power of 126 PS and 160 Nm of  torque. The latter also comes with the same powerhouse, but generating different power of 115 PS and a peak torque of 300 Nm. Unlike the 2WD, you can also have the 4x4 facility on the higher versions.
