Instagram user wtfkrish has spotted the interior of
the Mahindra Y400 (Mahindra Rexton) ahead of its launch this month. One of the biggest highlights of
the interior is the 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment unit that offers GPS
navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The dual-tone dashboard of the Mahindra Y400 has a
dark grey top portion, faux wood insert in the centre and a brown lower
portion. The spy mage reveals the quilted leather upholstery on the door pad,
which is likely to be present even on the seats. A large 9.2-inch touchscreen
infotainment unit takes centre stage on the dashboard. It will support Android
Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity and will double up as a display
for the 360-degree camera. A 7.0-inch multi-information display can be found in
the infotainment cluster. Furthermore, the latest sighting reveals the gear
lever of the new SUV's Mercedes-sourced automatic transmission.
Regarding design & styling, the Mahindra
Y400/Rexton will mirror the G4 Ssangyong Rexton. The only change will be a new
front grille with a Mahindra badge. The equipment list of the new SUV will
include HID headlights, LED Daytime Running Lamps (DRL), leather upholstery,
electric sunroof, ventilated seats and a 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment
system. The safety net on offer should comprise nine airbags, ABS with EBD,
electric parking brake, hill hold assist and traction control.
The flagship model in Mahindra's lineup will draw
power from a 2.2-litre e-XDi220 LET turbocharged diesel engine that outputs a
maximum power of 187 PS and a peak torque of 420 Nm. Transmission options
include 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic unit. Internationally, the
latest-gen Rexton is available with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that is
paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an Aisin-sourced 6-speed automatic
transmission. The Indian-spec model will be sold only with the diesel
engine owing to the low demand for petrol-powered large SUVs.
Prices of the Mahindra Y400 could start at INR 23
lakhs. It will be a direct rival to the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour.
