Mahindra Quanto facelift
Courtesy of IAB reader Siddharth Jain,
new spyshots of the Mahindra Quanto facelift (rumored to be called Mahindra
Canto and Mahindra Cresto) show a pre-production prototype with lesser
camouflage, that was spotted testing in a snow-clad region.
The spyshots reveal finer details of the
styling, which will be thoroughly different from the Xylo-inspired outgoing
model. Its design will draw inspiration from the Mahindra Scorpio, featuring
new headlights and daytime running lights, revised grille, a hood scoop,
re-profiled front bumper and new taillamps.
Older spyshots have revealed a
beige-finished interior with a new multifunction steering wheel, black center
console, an armrest and new dials for the instrument cluster.
As for engine power, Mahindra could
replace the 1.5-liter mCR100 diesel engine with the more fuel efficient mHawk80
diesel engine sourced from the TUV300. In its boxy cousin, the mHawk 80 engine
develops 84 hp and 230 Nm of torque. The Quanto facelift will offer a 5-speed
manual and the autoSHIFT 5-speed AMT. The technology has already been confirmed
for the production Quanto.
The Mahindra Quanto facelift is expected
to be unveiled at the Auto Expo 2016 on February 3. Its launch will round up
the company’s product launches for this financial year.
