It had some tech problem and test team was talking to someone over phone.

When asked them for details they said it is Mahindra vehicle and is a 5 seater

Asked for permission to take few close pictures which they politely declined

It look like the Force version of the Merc sprinter.

Pics have been watermarked.

Force is reportedly working on localising Viano with Merc power train. This could be Viano's scoop.

The overall volume of the vehicle & ORVM (outside rear view mirror) hints that, its a first generation Mercedes Benz VITO. And VIANO is a second generation of VITO.

Force Motors is testing a First generation VITO. The wikipedia link below shows some hints on the Tail Lamp and the ORVM. I guess its only a grille & bumper redesign, because the scoop images reveal the same first generation VITO headlamp

Yes, they are. It's codenamed the T0 and will be available in 5+D, 6+D and 8+D variants with revised front & rear styling. It's expected to hit the showrooms in about a year.

An Indian Autos Blog reader snapped these images of the next generation Tata Winger in Pune, Maharashtra. For the next generation Winger model, Tata Motors would borrow the Renault Master’s platform, as seen in these spyshots which show a left-hand drive, camouflaged test mule.

I would like the Renault Trafic to be launched here. The Master seems to be too tall and ugly looking. Here's the pic of the Renault Trafic/ Opel Viviaro from Wikipedia.

Motor Vikatan & Motorbash have snapped cameo-ed Tata Winger (based on Renault Master) testing in India, with testing equipment attached to the rear wheels. Here are the pics:

Just the right roof height for a motor home conversion. Hope they release it soon. Does any bank in India give motor home loan?

Saw similar vehicle (car deep's post) on Old madras road, Bangalore a week ago, couldn't take the picture at the moment.

Yes..a perfect platform for motor homes. Existing winger with high roof is also a good option but renault master looks solid. But I don't see too many offerings in India with motor home conversions

[tushky]

was checking tata horizonext videos and found renault master van in one video.

Eagled Eyed Tushky.

Yes that's the area where they usually park their benchmarking vehicles. I've also seen a Toyota Avanza parked there!

So that means TM is working on Winger successor on its own and will not license manufacture this time. If so, that's not only good for TM but also what one expects from it!
