According to a media report, Mahindra is developing a new BS-VI compliant 2.0-litre petrol engine.



Unconfirmed reports suggest that the new engine is likely to use an all-aluminium construction. It could feature a high-pressure, direct-injection system along with a turbocharger and is expected to have an output of around 182 BHP.

Earlier this month, Mahindra announced its BS-VI compliant petrol engine line up for the future. It includes an updated 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol unit with 108 BHP and 190 Nm of torque, the direct-injection version of the same engine producing 128 BHP and 230 Nm of torque and an updated 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder naturally aspirated engine.

Mahindra has also developed a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine in collaboration with Ssangyong. It produces 161 BHP and 280 Nm of torque.

Given the tighter emission norms, was expecting sub 1.0 litre turbo charged petrols. Now, finding 1.2 to 2.0 L engines on the "draft menu card". These obviously will power larger vehicles. Or maybe, smaller trucks (< 4 Tonne payload). I'd prefer to wait and watch before investing in M&M shares. But just may rush to buy cars powered with these engines.

Mahindra unveils all-new 190hp 2.0-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol at Auto Expo 2020.

New mStallion four-cylinder TGDI unit is the most powerful Mahindra engine ever; will power future Mahindras like the next-gen Thar, XUV500 and Scorpio as well as other SUVs from Ssangyong and Ford.

The model that the mStallion will debut in is the next-gen Thar in April 2021.

Autocar has a great write up on the engineering behind the mStallion. It is very impressive on paper. I hope it is as good or better than the mHawk Diesel series.

Is it going to debut on Thar in 2021 April or 2020 April? If it's 2021, then it implies that New Gen Scorpio and XUV will only be launched after Mid of 2021, as both were expected to get petrol engines from launch.

Any chances the 1.5 will be added in Marazzo?

Those are impressive figures. 380 NM from a 2 litre petrol engine. I have never seen such numbers from a petrol engine other than from the luxury vehicle manufactures. Even in case of diesel engines, more than 350 NM from a less than 2 litre engine is seen as an achievement.

Mahindra seems to have read the future challenges perfectly. With even the big 3 opting to manipulate the emission tests rather than improve their engines, it is clear that there is some kind of a blocker in adapting diesel engines for the ever tightening emission norms. The logical strategy is to shift focus to petrol. And Mahindra's bread and butter rural market will not go electric in the near future. So for them to survive, they have to become good at petrol engines.

Mahindra Marazzo petrol coming in May 2020. Powering the Marazzo petrol will be a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine from Mahindra’s new mStallion engine family.

- the first model to be powered by Mahindra’s all-new 163hp, 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine; Mahindra and Ford’s midsize SUVs will also get the engine.

-the new mStallion motors comprise turbocharged, direct injection petrol engines with displacements of 1.2 litres (G12), 1.5 litres (G15) and 2.0 litres (G20).

-high-tech engines feature integrated exhaust manifolds, off-set crankshafts, 250 bar fuel-injection rail systems and dual-mass flywheels.

The G15 engine is, in essence, a four-cylinder version of the 130hp, 1.2-litre three-cylinder G12 unit that will be offered on the Mahindra XUV300 from April 2020 onwards. A 6-speed manual gearbox be offered as standard and there will be an Aisin-sourced 6-speed automatic as well.

Interesting to see the sales figures as the leading MPV ERTIGA shows the petrol-diesel split was a near-even 49-51.
Toyota Innova Crysta that operates in a higher price band, sales were heavily skewed in favour of diesels with petrols only making up 2 percent

Mid to low single digit fuel efficiency figures ahoy!

Mahindra's portfolio is full of heavy cars. H-e-a-v-y. They were designed to be run on diesel. Granted, the mStallion is a lot like Royal Enfield's torquey engines (narrow and long bore); but maybe it's time Mahindra began to shed weight on their cars.
