After launching the much-anticipated compact SUV - the TUV 300 - on 10th September, Mahindra & Mahindra will roll out the S101 mini SUV that is on test for quite a long time now. Now a set of fresh spy shots have reveled the interior of the car.
To be positioned below the Quanto, the S101 looks like a micro SUV with a pretty spacious cabin for 5 adults. On the front end, the car features projector headlamps, XUV500-inspired grille and pronounced bonnet. Other styling elements include ORVMs, 15-inches wheels wrapped with 185/65 R15 tyres and wrap around rear design. With dual-tone interior theme and faux wood and silver finishing, the S101 looks very premium from the inside.
Features on offer will be steering mounted audio controls, central console has a touchscreen audio system and climate control buttons, power windows, electrically adjustable ORVMs, foldable centre seat, etc. While the steering wheel and instrument console will be inspired from the Scorpio. The Mahindra S101 will be the first car to feature the 6-seat (3 + 3) configuration in its segment. It offers generous legroom and shoulder room, especially for the rear seat passengers.
Talking about the engine, the S101 will be powered with a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The latter one will be paired to an AMT (automated manual transmission) gearbox that will make it the most affordable automatic SUV in the country. A manual transmission will also be on offer.
Though there is no official word on its pricing, we expect it to come at a starting price of Rs. 4 lakh.
