At this year’s Mumbai International Motor Show, Mahindra once again showcased their rugged SUV, the Thar. The 2.5-litre engine of the Thar makes 106PS of power and 247Nm. The Thar is one of the few hardcore off-roaders that is available in the Indian market at an affordable price. Along with the Thar, Mahindra also showcased Scorpio that they launched last year. The Scorpio is made available with two engine variants, the 2.5-litre unit that makes 76PS and 200Nm is made available only in the base trim; while all the other variants get a 2.2-litre powerplant that pumps 121PS and 280Nm. The only parts that this new Scorpio shares with its previous generation are the doors and the roof.    

The Nashik-based car maker also displayed its popular SUV, the XUV 5OO. Soon after its launch the XUV 5OO was quick to make its way up on the sales charts. Under the hood, it sports the same 2.2-litre unit that also works force in the Scorpio but in the XUV 5OO it makes 141PS and 330Nm.
