IAB’s Shoeb R Kalania has created a rendering of the Mahindra Jeeto
passenger van. There’s no word from Mahindra on the date of launch, but we
expect it to arrive before the end of the calendar year.
The Jeeto van will be positioned under the Mahindra
Supro, and rival the Tata Magic Iris. The five-seater Jeeto
van has tarpaulin covers for the side doors and rear windscreen, while the
third-row windows are fixed.
Although the front fascia hasn’t been spotted, it is
likely to look identical to the Jeeto pickup, featuring round headlamps
connected by a sleek plastic grille, and a black plastic bumper. Colour options
could be borrowed from its pick up sibling, which include Diamond White,
Sunrise Red, Ultramarine Blue, Mango Yellow and Premium Beige.
Power will come from the Jeeto’s single-cylinder
water-cooled m_Dura 625 cc engine diesel capable of 11 hp or 16 hp, and 38 Nm
of torque. A 4-speed manual is the only transmission offered, which sends power
to the rear wheels.
