5. Mahindra XUV500
Mahindra dealerships have revealed the BS6 prices of the XUV500. The mid-sizer will be priced from Rs 13.18 lakh to Rs 17.69 lakh (ex-showroom Coimbatore). Mahindra has dropped the automatic transmission, so the XUV500 will be a diesel-manual, front-wheel-drive SUV in the BS6 era.The Mahindra XUV500 is a three-row mid-size SUV which has an ex-showroom price of Rs 12.31 lakh to Rs 18.63 lakh.
Mahindra XUV500 Specifications

The petrol motor is available with a 6-speed automatic transmission only.
Mahindra XUV500 Variants

6. Mahindra Marazzo
Mahindra looks set to introduce an automatic transmission to the Marazzo soon, as the MPV was spotted testing with an ‘AutoShift’ badge. The automatic gearbox could be a 6-speed AMT unit. The carmaker is also expected to add a new 1.5-litre mStallion turbo-petrol engine coupled with an optional automatic and manual transmission. Mahindra currently offers the Marazzo with a 121PS 1.5-litre diesel engine paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox. It is priced between Rs 11.25 lakh and Rs 13.59 lakh. It currently sits in between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga/XL6 and the Toyota Innova Crysta and doesn’t have any direct rivals.
Mahindra Marazzo Specifications
For the time being, you get a single 1.5-litre diesel engine with the Marazzo. This engine makes 123PS of power and 300Nm of torque and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. There’s no petrol-powered Marazzo yet, neither do you get the choice of an automatic gearbox. But Mahindra has confirmed both will be made available by 2020. In our road test, the Marazzo returned 14.86kmpl in the city and 16.97kmpl on the highway. As expected, it isn’t a particularly quick car, taking a leisurely 15 seconds to reach 100kmph from a standstill.
Mahindra Marazzo Variants
The Mahindra Marazzo variants lineup includes the M2, M4, M6 and M8. With the M2, you get a sour deal: there’s no music system, reverse parking sensors or electric ORVMs. This variant makes sense only if you’re looking to add the Marazzo to your fleet of taxis. If you’re looking to buy for yourself and are on a budget, stretch for the M4 at the least. While this variant too isn’t particularly well-equipped it at least gets a music system, rear wash-wipe, rear defogger, a height-adjustable driver’s seat and electrically-adjustable ORVMs.
With the M6, Mahindra is throwing in quite a lot of goodies. In isolation, it seems like a value offering. But compare the price premium to the M4 and you’d think twice before justifying that expense. It gets 16-inch alloy wheels, projector headlamps, a 4.2-inch TFT display in the instrument cluster, and a touchscreen infotainment system paired with a 6-speaker music system. In the top-spec M8 variant, you get bigger 17-inch alloy wheels, a better touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, cruise control and leatherette upholstery.
Mahindra Marazzo Features
Inspired by a shark, they say. Do you see the resemblance? We do, even if faintly so. That said, there’s no denying that the Marazzo is a handsome MPV. And we’re glad Mahindra designers haven’t gone overboard in adding unnecessary styling elements to it. The smoked out headlamps work together with the toothy grille to give it a confident face. From the side, the large 17-inch alloy wheels stands out and so does the subtle sliver of chrome that underlines the massive glass area. It’s slightly quirky from the rear but the large shark fin-inspired tail lamps do well to provide some relief to the eyes. With the Marazzo, you get the sense that function was valued over form. Glad!
Because, it clearly shows on the inside. The Marazzo’s wheelbase is longer than that of the Innova Crysta’s. And that’s despite the Mahindra being a full 150mm smaller. Entering and exiting the MPV is a breeze, and there’s a healthy amount of room no matter which row you’re seated in. It’s among the few cars in which you can travel with seven or eight occupants without jostling for room. On the features front, there’s what you’d expect — a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, cruise control, a 4.2-inch display in the instrument cluster, and leather seats. There’s a unique roof-mounted air-conditioning system as well, which we must say works without a hiccup. Issues include that there’s just one 12V socket in the whole car, and one USB slot for the second row to charge phones. You also don’t get the feel-good features such as auto headlamps, auto wipers or an auto-dimming IRVM. Also, we think the Marazzo could’ve done with side and curtain airbags, at least in the top-spec variant. Standard safety kit includes dual airbags, anti-lock brakes with EBD and all-round disc brakes. Notably, the Marazzo scored a 4-star safety rating in the GlobalNCAP crash test.

7. Mahindra Alturas G4
Mahindra has launched the BS6-compliant Alturas G4 at Rs 28.69 lakh in India. The Alturas G4 BS6 comes with the same 2.2-litre diesel engine that develops 181PS and 420Nm. It is mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission sourced from Mercedes-Benz. Apart from this, cosmetically and mechanically, the Alturas G4 remains the same as before.
Mahindra Alturas G4 Varients
There are two variants on offer: 2WD and 4WD, priced at Rs Rs 28.69 lakh and Rs 31.69 lakh. This also measn that both the variants of the SUV are now dearer by Rs 1 lakh in contrast to the outging BS4 version.

8. Mahindra KUV100 NXT
The BS6 Mahindra KUV100 has been spied testing. The spied test mule was the fleet-oriented Trip variant equipped with CNG. In the BS6 era, the Mahindra KUV100 is likely to be a petrol-only model for private buyers.
According to Mahindra’s future plan to shift to BS6 engines, the 1.2-litre diesel engine in the KUV100 NXT will not be updated to meet the BS6 norms. Mahindra has made it clear that updating this engine will come at a cost and with the increase in price, the KUV100 NXT will be at a price disadvantage amongst its rivals.
Mahindra may call the KUV100 a ‘micro SUV’ but you and I know it’s not much more than a hopped up hatchback. With the NXT, the formula has been tweaked a bit in a bid to make it more appealing. Additions include a new front grille and bumper, new alloy wheels and clear-lens tail lamps. The interiors now feature an all-black colour scheme and get a new 7-inch touchscreen. Mahindra has also done away with a couple of dials on the dashboard to reduce the clutter. Most importantly, the 5-seater variant of the KUV100 NXT is now available on a made-to-order basis, while the 6-seater layout is offered as standard.
KUV100 NXT Specifications
No changes in this department, at least for now! Both engines – the 1.2-litre mFalcon D80 petrol and the 1.2-litre mFalcon D75 diesel – and the 5-speed manual transmission remain unaltered. Whereas the petrol engine pumps out 83PS/115Nm, the diesel-fed mill is rated at 78PS/190Nm. Mahindra has confirmed that it is working on an all-electric KUV100, which is expected to be launched in 2019. However, we should also expect the variant list to go up a lot sooner than that with the introduction of an AMT (automated manual transmission) unit in 2018. Mileage figures haven’t been officially revealed. Even with the new calculation methods for fuel efficiency, they shouldn’t be very different when compared to its predecessor.
KUV100 NXT Variants
With each engine, there are six variants on offer. The nomenclature reads – K2, K2+, K4, K4+, K6+, K8 and K8 Dual Tone. The K2 and K2+ variants are offered with a six-seat layout as standard. The others can be had with either five or six seats. If you are considering buying the KUV100, you should start thinking from the K4+ and just gloss over the cheaper ones. From the K4+ variant and above, you at least get basic safety features such as dual airbags and ABS. But if you want the funky dual-tone treatment, only the range-topping K8 will satisfy you.
KUV100 NXT Features
To ensure that the KUV100 NXT lasts longer than the original recipe, in other words more than 21 months, Mahindra has given its most affordable offering a more mature makeover. At the front, the redesigned bumper is accompanied by a bigger, sportier skid plate, the grille gets sharper chrome slats and is flanked by dual-barrel headlamps. The sides profile receives more prominent plastic cladding and the roof rails get their own subtle tweaks in styling. The alloy wheels have been to the beauty salon too and now flaunt a new look. The character lines at the sides and the rear of the hatch have been toned down a bit as well. Even the rear styling has been changed with a restyled bumper, which incorporates a faux silver skid plate, and clear-lens tail lamps with different internal graphics. Simply put, no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to second Mahindra’s take on it being a ‘compact SUV’.
The cabin was always on the practical side for living and nonliving things. To match the competition though, Mahindra has equipped the KUV100 NXT with a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system which boasts built-in navigation and has the support for the company’s Bluesense and Intellipark technologies. The added convenience of follow-me-home and lead-me-to-vehicle headlamps come in handy too. On the dash, the old-school controls for the AC have been replaced by an electronic temperature control panel. With the facelift, the KUV100 NXT also gained Mahindra’s voice alert system and a gear shift indicator in the instrument cluster. The interior upholstery, including the seat covers, is all black for a sporty vibe. ABS comes as standard on all variants, whereas dual airbags are missing on the base K2 variant. The real downer is the absence of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which most of its direct rivals have on offer.

| Cons of Mahindra KUV100 NXT | The ergonomics are awry. Lacks finesse and the quality could be better. Uninteresting to drive |
9. Mahindra e2o PLUS
India’s only an all-electric hatchback Mahindra e2o is priced in the range of Rs 7.57-11.57 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The design of this eco-friendly car is contemporary and although its footprint feels a bit smaller than the other cars, there is no dearth of space inside the cabin thanks to the use of innovative technology and less moving parts. The key highlights of the cabin include automatic climate control, touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone integration and a digital instrument cluster. Under the Hood, 280 Ah lithium-ion battery powers the Mahindra e2o Plus delivering the maximum power of 20.8 PS along with 70 Nm of Max torque. The Direct drive gearbox with two forward modes has been used by the Mahindra to channelize the power to the wheels. In Indian market, the likes of Tata Nano, Maruti Alto 800, and Hyundai Eon can be considered as adversaries to Mahindra e2o Plus.

10. Mahindra New Scorpio – Upcoming
Mahindra New Scorpio is expected to launch in India in Dec 2020 in the expected price range of ₹ 10.00 – 14.00 Lakh. Currently available cars which are similar to New Scorpio are Mahindra Bolero, Tata Nexon and Maruti Suzuki S-Cross. Another car similar to New Scorpio is Toyota Yaris Black Limited Edition which is launching in Nov 2020 in India.
Key Features:
New spy photos of the next-generation Mahindra Scorpio have surfaced online, and this time around we get to see the SUV’s production-spec 5-slot grille and front bumper. However, the rest of the SUV comes with temporary parts and it is still heavily camouflaged. The new image also indicates that the new Scorpio is likely to come with a bigger footprint and a more toned-down silhouette. Interestingly, Mahindra has recently trademarked different variations of the name Scorpio Sting, which could be the new moniker for the popular mid-size SUV.
Key Highlights on New Mahindra Scorpio Launch:
The new-gen model could be called Scorpio Sting
The new Scorpio will be based on an evolved ladder-on-frame platform
The new Scorpio Sting will also get turbo petrol and diesel engines
It will be bigger and get more premium features
New Mahindra Scorpio Summary:
Mahindra and Mahindra has started working on the next-generation Mahindra Scorpio SUV. First introduced in 2002, India has already sen three generations of the popular Sports Utility Vehicle, and now the fourth one is on its way. The next-gen Mahindra Scorpio is expected to be introduced in 2020 and will possibly receive the highest amount of upgrades seen so far. The new-gen model will comply with both, the new stringent safety norms, as well as, the Bharat Stage VI (BS6) emission norms.
Several prototype models of the upcoming Mahindra Scorpio have already been spotted testing in India and is internally codenamed Z101. Judging by the test mules seen so far, the new-gen Scorpio will be a lot bigger in terms of size, and will possibly take a new design route as well. The new generation model appears to be dramatically different from the outgoing Scorpio. Expect to see a lower roofline and larger proportions on the SUV with an upright front. The hood scoop seems to have been given a miss. The slated Mahindra grille though will make an appearance on the all-new version. The test mule further reveals flared wheel arches and a slightly raked windshield.
New Mahindra Scorpio Specifications
The new generation Mahindra Scorpio will continue to be based on a ladder-on-frame chassis, albeit of more rigid and sturdier construction, in line with the new crash norms. It’s also expected to be lights and induce lesser body roll and better stability than its predecessors. The SUV is also expected to draw power from a 2.0-litre diesel engine that will bump the power output to 158 bhp, from the current 138 bhp on offer. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual transmission while an automatic will also be on offer along with All-Wheel Drive. The new generation Scorpio can also be expected with a petrol motor right from the start given the stringent emission norms of the future.
