Mahindra Halo
The buzz on Mahindra’s very own full
electric 2-door coupe concept, christened as the Mahindra Halo, has been less,
since it made its debut at the last Auto Expo in 2014.
A new photo from Parth Jindal’s twitter
handle depicts the Mahindra Halo concept finished in a new yellow exterior
color. Given the color update, and a report speculating its introduction to
take place in 2016, there is a possibility of Mahindra showcasing an updated
version of the Halo at the upcoming Auto Expo in February.
Mahindra executives believe that the
bulk of the Halo’s demand will come from European markets, where the
infrastructure is feasible for EVs. The Halo could serve as an entry-level
option for customers looking for a sportier product powered by an alternative
source of energy.
The Mahindra Halo concept is planned to
be sold in two variants: a top-end model with a top speed of 160 km/h and a 200
km range, and a basic variant that has a range between 100 km and 150 km. Both
variants have a 0-100 kph figure of 9 seconds. A boost mode promises to reduce
the 0-100 kph time by a full second. While Mahindra has not revealed a lot of
details, the demo unit was seen with a multi-touch screen in the cockpit and
body hugging contoured seats.
