Mahindra has launched a new variant of the Jeeto min-truck called the Jeeto Plus. It is priced at Rs. 3.47 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai).

The Jeeto Plus measures 3,876 mm in length, 1,498 mm in width and 1,750 mm in height with a wheelbase of 2,500 mm. It has a payload capacity of 715 kg and loading deck of 7.4 feet. The truck has a 10.5 litre fuel tank.

The Jeeto Plus is powered by a 625cc, single-cylinder diesel engine that produces 16 BHP and 38 Nm. The engine is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The vehicle's claimed fuel efficiency is 29.1 km/l.

The Jeeto Plus comes with a 3 year / 72,000 km warranty.

We have reported earlier that Mahindra is working on a passenger van based on the Jeeto light commercial vehicle (LCV). While camouflaged test mules of the vehicle have been spotted multiple times, a new set of spy shots shows the upcoming passenger van without any camouflage.

The images reveal that the front end of the Jeeto-based passenger van will be similar to that of its LCV sibling. The face is characterized by bubble-shaped headlamps with a grille running between them. A Mahindra logo is housed in the centre of the grille. Moving to the side, the luggage area of the Jeeto has been covered by a hard-top passenger compartment. It gets an entry door on the left, while the windows on both sides are made of tarpaulin to limit the final production costs. The front and rear bumpers, ORVMs and door handles are black in colour. The rear gets a boot door, a tarpaulin window and circular taillights.

The van is likely to be powered by the same 625cc single-cylinder, water-cooled engine that is offered with the Jeeto. It is expected to be coupled with a 4-speed gearbox. In the Jeeto, this engine is available with two power outputs - 11 BHP and 16 BHP, while torque is constant at 38 Nm.

The Jeeto-based passenger van is expected to be marketed as an alternative for auto rickshaws. It is likely to compete against the Tata Magic Iris.

Mahindra is reportedly working on a passenger van version of the Jeeto LCV. A heavily camouflaged test mule of this Jeeto-based van has recently been spotted testing. Though the Indian automaker hasn't made any comment on the upcoming commercial vehicle's launch, the Jeeto passenger van is expected to be launched in India later this year or early next year.

The spy shots indicate that the front of the passenger van will be similar to that of the Jeeto LCV, including the small, bubble-shaped headlights. However, while the LCV gets a loading bay area behind the driver's compartment, the van will include a hard top passenger area. Other details revealed in the spy shots include tarpaulin side and rear windows and vertically oriented taillight cluster.

Powering the passenger van will likely be the same 625cc single-cylinder, water-cooled engine that is found on the Jeeto. Under the LCV, this engine is available with two power outputs - 11 BHP and 16 BHP, while torque is constant at 38 Nm. Transmission duties will likely be handled by a 4-speed manual gearbox.

Once launched, the Jeeto passenger van is expected to compete against the Tata Magic Iris.

Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. has launched a CNG variant of its mini-truck - Jeeto, at a price of Rs. 3.49 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi). The CNG Variant will be available only on the top end model of the Jeeto X7-16.

The Jeeto CNG is powered by a 625 cc engine that delivers 16 BHP and 38 Nm of torque at 1200 – 2000 rpm, while being mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. Mahindra claims that the Jeeto CNG can deliver a fuel economy figure of 33.2 km/l. It has a payload capacity of 700 kg, with a deck length of 6.5 feet. The Jeeto X7-16 is 3,581mm long, 1,485 mm wide, and has a height of 1,750mm.

The Jeeto mini-truck was launched in India in June 2015. Mahindra currently offers 8 models under the Jeeto brand name, which has been divided into three series: L, S and X. All these models are placed in the sub 1 tonne load segment. The diesel variant of the Jeeto has a company-claimed efficiency of 37.6 km/l.

Last month, Mahindra had introduced a connected vehicle platform named Digisense, which is essentially a cloud-based service that aims to connect all Mahindra vehicles with owners, fleet operators, drivers, dealers, and service teams. Now, the company has launched the service for two of its small commercial vehicles - the Jeeto and Imperio.

The Digisense platform will be available only in the X7 16 (BS4) variant of the Jeeto, and SC VX and DC VX variants of the Imperio. It will be available as a subscription-based service, though Mahindra is offering 1 year free subscription for its customers, as part of an invitation offer. After that, customers will be required to pay Rs. 5,000 to opt for Digisense in the Jeeto, and Rs. 6,000 in the Imperio.

Key features of the Digisense platform include real time tracking of the vehicle, history route logs, remote engine diagnosis, and breakdown assistance. Owners can also control the travel range of vehicle by dedicating a specific region for operation. This ensures that the driver doesn't violate the pre-decided routes. Moreover, the owners can even get SMS alerts in case the driver leaves the route or overspeeds.

Mahindra plans to roll out the Digisense platform for all its vehicles.
