Says Sanjoy Gupta, CEO Mahindra South Africa: “South Africa is a key strategic market for Mahindra. We have been in business here for over a decade, with a local office and hands-on team to focus on the needs and aspirations of the consumers."
The Pik Up has an updated 2.2-litre four-cylinder mHawk turbodiesel engine which makes use of a variable geometry turbocharger to produce 103kw. The torque peak of 320Nm is reached at 1600 r/min, and sustained to 2800 r/min, ensuring excellent in-gear acceleration and superior pulling power.
The turbodiesel engine is linked to a six-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels, and will also be available with 4x4 transmission with low range.
The upgrade includes a complete overhaul of the Mahindra Pik Up’s aesthetics, with specific emphasis on the front-end styling. The vehicle reportedly offers SUV-like-feeling yet remains rugged and reliable.
The pricing includes a four-year/120,000km warranty and roadside assistance, and a five-year/90,000km service plan. Services are at 20,000km intervals or every 12 months, whichever comes first.
