Here we have explained about the three upcoming Mahindra SUVs that are expected to launch within the next twelve months in India
Mahindra & Mahindra showcased the Scorpio N based Global Pik Up and the Thar.e concepts at the Futurescape event in Cape Town, South Africa recently. Besides debuting new concepts and a range of new tractors, Mahindra unveiled its future plans as the launch timeline and some of the notable specifications of the XUV.e and BE series of electric vehicles also took the spotlight.
Before their arrival, Mahindra will look to strengthen its IC-engined SUV range as three models are waiting in the pipeline and all of them have been spotted testing multiple times. Here we have given you an early preview of what is in store:
1. Mahindra XUV300 Facelift:
The facelifted Mahindra XUV300 is speculated to go on sale in early 2024 with a long list of changes inside and out. It will continue to sit on the X100 platform shared with SsangYong Tivoli but the design differences between them will be more than evident this time as it will boast a brand new front fascia and rear end.
The 2024 Mahindra XUV300 will be heavily inspired by the design of the latest range of Mahindra SUVs including Scorpio N and XUV700. It will likely continue to use the 1.2L petrol and 1.5L diesel engines. The ageing cabin desperately needs a big update and we do expect Mahindra to bring in a host of enhancements in terms of technologies as well as features.
2. 5-Door Mahindra Thar:
Judging by the latest spy images, the five-door version of the Mahindra Thar will have notable exterior differences compared to the existing three-door model. The halogen headlamps could be ditched in favour of LED projector units while the vertical grille slats and inserts will also be brand new. It will be positioned above the three-door Thar and will be more practical and spacious. The 2.2L diesel and 2.0L petrol engines will be borrowed from its sibling. It will be launched next year.
3. Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus:
In the month of September 2023, Mahindra is said to launch the Bolero Neo Plus and it will be available in seven- and nine-seater layouts. It will be slotted below the Scorpio Classic and is essentially the facelifted TUV300 Plus. It will be powered by a diesel engine, paired with a manual transmission only.
