Engine options

Mahindra recently showcased three new powertrains at the Auto Expo. It included 1.2-litre, 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre petrol options. Considering the segment demand we expect the new Ford SUV to get 1.5-litre petrol engine that is capable of producing 163 bhp and 280 Nm peak torque. The diesel model will get a 1.5-litre engine that churns out 121 bhp and 300 Nm of peak torque. The gearbox option will have a 6-speed manual as well as a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Interior and features

The features will surely match the competition and the trend. It is expected with the paddle shifters, panoramic sunroof, cruise mode, etc.  Driver convenience features will include auto headlamp and wiper, climate control, digital instrument cluster and so on.

We expect it with a good safety rating as it is experienced with the current Mahindra cars.

Price

The pricing of Ford mid-sized SUV is expected to be attractive. It is expected with Rs 9.5-16 lakhs(ex-showroom). It will take on the rivals like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Hector and Tata Harrier.
