The engine has updated as Mahindra and Ssangyong have been working together and have developed six new engines. the pricing of the Quanto will not be changed, maybe a bump of Rs 5,000-10,000.

Mahindra is looking at export markets with the Quanto and so it has been testing the 2.2-litre mHawk for exports with 4×4 ability. This will be majorly exported to the European market. Mahindra will be introducing the new Bolero too, click here to see the interiors of the new Bolero.
