Mahindra’s current product lineup consists of a wide variety of vehicles which is due to be extended further with the introduction of an all-new MPV offering. Spotted with heavy camouflage, these are possibly the first images to be captured of the MPV offering Mahindra has been tight lipped about. On observing the overall dimensions and stance of the test mule, it is likely that Mahindra’s new offering will enter the segment of MPVs that has been captured by the Toyota Innova Crysta.

Looking at the test vehicle, the biggest giveaway is the vertical slat front grille, confirming it to be a Mahindra product. The MPV has a slant bonnet design that is almost in-line with the front windscreen while the front bumper has two horizontal air slits below the grille. Moving to the profile of the test mule, it has a sloping roof design that extends beyond the C-pillar which makes space inside for the third row occupants. The rear of the test vehicle being heavily disguised could not provide much details of the new offering.

Mahindra is reportedly expected to deploy the down-sized 1.99-litre mHawk engine in the MPV that was recently introduced in the Scorpio and XUV5OO. It will likely sport a 5-speed manual gearbox. The company might also consider introducing the MPV with a petrol engine as well owing to the current preference of buyers in the market.

In the current MPV market, the segment is led by Toyota’s recently launched Innova Crysta which has been selling very well in spite of it being unavailable in Delhi/NCR due to the diesel ban.
