Considering the spied look in the pictures, we can say that the “compact” S201 is a smaller version comparing the standard variant. To make it shorter in length, Mahindra has pruned around 200mm to make the SUV in a 4-meter length, specifically from the rear aft of the wheel. To maintain the cost, the compact S201 will be having body panels just similar to its larger sibling’s doors. Although taking consideration from the spied images, the rear design of the car could be unique when it comes to horizontally placed taillamps, tailgate design, exclusive design of the rear bumper. It will also be having the higher ground clearance and chunkier tyres.
