BHPian ![]() | ![]() Last year in September I came across the Genio under cover on Nashik highway somewhere near shahapur. Yesterday saw 2 white genio with temp number plates at Katai naka Toll on Sheel-kalyan road. Could have taken snaps but I was driving and thought that its actually an old story. |

| ![]() New scoop shots at 2011 Mahindra Mini Xylo MPV Scooped: First on ICB! | Indian Cars & Motorcycles Blog From one of the images it is clear that the vehicle is having quarter glass on rear sides. Wheels seem to be disproprtionately small to vehicle size. ![]() |

BANNED | ![]() I may be mistaken but I seem to remember there was some talk about making a slightly smaller size Scorpio? maybe a pure 5 seater plus luggage with smaller proportions? any news? |

| ![]() The latest I heard from a Senior Technician at the A$$ is that the mini-Xylo, the W201 and a new version of Reva are all in final stages of testing - should be out by May 2011. Nothing on a mini-Scorpio - have never heard that before. |

BANNED | ![]() check this link - some info on a possible mini scorpio Report – Mahindra to build a compact SUV based on Scorpio | Indian Autos blog plus sometime ago i think I read a comment in an interview with some newspaper or magazine by Dr Goenka about how they intend to leverage the Scorpio platform and build a smaller version - but I am not completely sure where or when this was. |

| ![]() Mahindra is trying to do a Wagon-r but with a xylo face and a tall boy design together with those small tyres the entire car will look disproportionate. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() In the original pic, is it me or is the rear right tyre actually smaller than the front right!? If 'tyred' right, this could actually look good! Last edited by ashutoshb : 31st March 2011 at 23:03. |

| ![]() Honestly, in the last couple of snaps, the mini-Xylo doen't really look as tall as the regular Xylo. I feel they have lowered the suspension enough and that should also do a world of good to its cg and stability. If you see the tires they seem to fill the well adequately - not like it is in the photo where the mini-Xylo is on the truck |

| ![]() Few things I observed 1. The tire config looks good, but whats the suspension setup 2. Taking the 5th tyre out will provide quite a bit of space, but what about little tyre hump jutting out in your rearview 3. Rear hatch is sideways opening rather than pull-up 4. With a roof rack, rear can fit 2 5-6 yr olds 5. While I couldn't click a pic it handled fairly well on the way up with snow on ground |

| ![]() If the spare wheel is fitted at the back, wouldn't it increase the "on paper" length of the car? AFAIK, it is mandatory for all passenger vehicles to provide a spare wheel, and not just a provision for it. If M&M tries to keep the whole length (including the spare wheel) below 4 meters to get into lesser tax bracket (engine is less than 1500 cc anyway), we probably can expect a cramped backseat. |

OT: A lot of 2 wheelers who earlier used to have 3 wheels (2 normal and 1 stepney), now have only 2 wheels. Eg: Scooters! | |
