The Mahindra U321 is undergoing what appears to be
its final road testing runs with the least camouflage/cloaking yet. GaadiWaadi
has posted spy shots of the MPV showing its design details of its front-end.
The
Mahindra U321 features the signature toothed grille flanked by swept-back
bi-beam headlamps and a large, rakish windshield at the front. The test mule is
in a shade of maroon and equipped with six-twin-spoke alloy wheels. Mahindra has
purposely designed the U321 as a traditional MPV.
An all-new unibody platform underpins the Mahindra
U321. It will employ an all-new 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel
engine that delivers maximum power in the region of 130 hp. This engine is
expected to come paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Mahindra has
promised a petrol engine option for all its future models, but there’s no word
on that matter in case of the U321. The company could look at the circa-140 hp
1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder unit that will debut in the Mahindra
S201.
The Mahindra U321 will likely come packed with the
best features Mahindra has to offer in its models, such as projector headlamps,
LED daytime running lights, automatic climate control, rear air vents,
multifunction steering, touchscreen infotainment system with satellite
navigation and Android Auto support and more. M&M will offer it in 7- and 8-seat versions,
likely with a starting price of around INR 10 lakh.
