The first truck to be rolled out through the joint venture with Mahindra and International Trucks will sport a new 200-300 horsepower engine. Already we have written much about the Ingenio MPV and the new scorpio Automatic. Now, more information has come out the new mass market platform. The utility vehicle (UV) on mass market platform will be the dearer to everyone. Yes, mahindra wish to make this Utility vehicle (UV) in the price range of Rs4 lakhs. “Our forte is utility vehicles… We have to look at the mass market,” said Arun Jaura, senior vice-president (R&D and global product development), Mahindra and Mahindra. The utility vehicle (UV) will be powered by a engine with a cubic capacity between 800cc to 1,200cc. Mahindra’s new utility vahicle (UV) will be compact with a seating capacity of five.“Indian families these days are typically two plus two, or two plus three. A five-seater makes sense,” added Jaura.
