Excellent features..

But, THAT grill though...

giri1.8 · 15th August 2020, 11:35

Looks great, as expected! Guess Mahindra has played it safe with the grill design, rest of it looks great.

Glad it's not loaded with lot of tech stuff, should be relatively niggle free after an year or so.

avishar · 15th August 2020, 11:39

No wonder they tried to not show the front in the promo video. That grille is hideous. Rest is amazing!

Blooming Flower · 15th August 2020, 11:39

Mahindra changed the front grille overnight to avoid conflicts with FCA after losing the design forgery battle in US. Very clever move indeed!

Two days back also, I spotted 2 semi-camouflaged test mules at Dehu road, and none of them had this changed grille.

uday.ere · 15th August 2020, 11:43

Fabulous design overall by M&M.

Great to know that our own Mod Aditya is part of the Freedom Drive.

Look forward to his inputs.

Cheers

Looks retro cool to me, especially the hard top.

I wish they had launched the Armada (5-Door) version too.
