As everyone would have known by now it's the gio. The 1.65 L 1ton mini truck.

The wheel base and length of the vehicle being tested is different from the launched Gio.

Yes, quite a dampener. I was really hoping it would something more exciting. I guess we just have to wait.

+1. its not the Gio for sure.

[MuraliR]

Maybe the mini sub-4m SUV?

[arnabchak]

It doesnt look like an M&M car.

The rear lights are deceptive.
Look's like the upcoming Hyundai's ix-35

Who says Hyundai ix-35 is coming, to the best of my knowledge it is I 30 that they will launch (if they ever do) and that is just slightly bigger than the I 20. So it cant be a Hyundai

that comment wasn't for the vehicle shown and discussed till mow. It was for one news item of press invitation for a new product launch from Mahindra & Mahindra. Guesses were this SUV, but it turned out the launch was for Gio. Hence the comment.

If you would have noticed past 3-4 comments, could have got the reference. Anyhow, seems we might see this vehicle in auto expo (our guesses) or wait till Oct 10

I spotted this SUV testing this morning near the Chennai Airport. I couldn't guess what SUV this would be and hence a new thread. Any guesses of what it could be ?

To me, It did not look like any Ford and a little different from the Santa Fe.

Please ignore the picture quality as it was raining.

New Mahindra Global SUV. Nice spotting there.

[vinod_nookala]

right, it is Mahindras new global SUV as tushky said. Code named W 20.. some thing. Will be priced around 15 lakhs. Notice rear independent suspension. May be a monocoupe body. Looks massive and could be the size of a montero

[Torque123]

I too feel its the SUV from Mahindra. The tail lights of the vehicle makes me think so. Looks like tail lights of the old scorpio. There is a already a thread running on this i guess.

Why are these cars camouflaged this way? doesn't it affect the aerodynamics while testing?!

Aerodynamics don't affect testing parameters too much. Its real world testing that they want to do.

[ACM]

The test that they want to do are for relaibility of various mechanical and electical bits on real roads. Aerodynamic testing is done in the wind tunnel - most indian manufacturers do not have this and do this in the wind tunnel with the designers.
