MAHINDRA NEW FACELIFTED XYLO FRONT –END IS SPIED

MAHINDRA NEW FACELIFTED XYLO

 FRONT –END IS SPIED

The front-end of Mahindra Xylo is spied today.it’s have some similarity to XUV500′s design language .

The transformation starts at the hood – redesigned using creases relocating to the sides. The bulge along the bonnet’s center has been flattened out. Subtle lines flow towards the center from either corners of the windshield.

The Xylo’s shiny grille takes a more little muscular & traditional approach sitting on the same level as the headlamps. It replaces the body-colored grille design that forms the shape of an arch. A slim louvre separates the grille and bumper.

Tiny indicators are placed on the bottom right corner. Mahindra will use the facelift’s launch to add a new variant “E9″.

This cosmetic operation has flushed out the funny taste you may get at the back of your mouth when you see a Xylo head-on. There is no doubt that the Xylo facelift outshines the current model on design appeal.

Mahindra Duro 2012

Coming soon: Facelifted Mahindra Duro

Powerscooter

Some time ago, India’s popular scooter brand-Kinetic- was sold to a manufacturer that was then known to build heavy duty SUVs and tractors. Kinetic became Mahindra 2 wheelers and that saw introduction of a few scooters that are still not spotted very frequently on our roads. What with Honda conquering it all with it’s competent offerings. Remember the Mahindra Duro? It has a body kit that is reminiscent of the Kinetic Nova and the 125cc motor is sourced from the Sym. To us, the then Mahindra Duro seemed to be a worthy claimant to the best VFM tag in its category. Sadly for Mahindra, the Duro doesn’t seem to have what it might take to dethrone the almighty Hondas.

We have concrete information that Mahindra Two Wheelers will launch the facelifted version of the Mahindra Duro Powerscooter as early as in December this year.

From what we have managed to figure out from the spy pics surfacing on the internet, there are a few minor changes that have been made by Mahindra to make the Duro have more visual appeal. The scooter has a curvier headlamp unit that manages to gel with otherwise quite a boxy design and gives the scooter a bit more upmarket look. The headlamp unit seems to be a bit of an evolution of the sister Rodeo’s unit.

On probing more into the pictures, we spotted a major change that may make the scooter ride much better than it presently does. Mahindra has finally gone for a set of new telescopic front shocks that replace the earlier unit link suspension. This simply means that the Duro will join the likes of the competent Suzuki Access 125 and the TVS Wego in offering a much needed and contemporary suspension set-up. We feel that all the automatics in this segment should boast of a set of telescopic shocks. Come to think of it, even the entry level TVS Scooty Pep+ sports these and as a result it makes me speak highly of its handling and ride.

The Mahindra Duro should soldier on with the 125cc four stroke engine that produces 8 Bhp of peak power and 9 Nm of peak torque. This may not sound much to us performance enthusiasts but it should be noted that this engine is also one of the more powerful units in its class.

Now, the question is if a mid life update can really make the Duro click and if it will attain the popularity Mahindra 2 wheelers wish it to attain. I personally feel that these little changes should had happened a lot earlier but then, it is never too late.

Watch this space for a complete review of the updated Mahindra Duro.

Mahindra launches THAR in India

Mahindra India just now launched the Thar in India. Here is the official site of Mahindra THAR.  Mahindra Thar is a reworked version of the Commander Jeep that was pulled off the roads in early 2000. The top model of Mahindra Thar is expected to be priced around Rs. 7,00,000 on-road which seems to be quite resonable considering the fact that it sports a 2.5 litre diesel engine and is a well built product. The Thar has captured the imagination of off-roading enthusiasts in India. Its looks and features have gone down well with the general public.

“It is the need for a retro-styled product that has forced M&M to launch the product in Indian markets,” a person said on condition of anonymity. “This is a niche, retro-styled product and there will be a lot of young buyers and Jeep fans for such a vehicle,” a Mumbai-based dealer said on condition of anonymity. The vehicle will be sold in soft top and hard top versions. A company spokesperson said, “As a matter of company policy, we do not comment on any of our future plans or products.”

Mahindra Rodeo - Feel the Power of Scooter

The All new "Mahindra RODEO" is all set to action and it is now ready to rock Indian roads with an super fast 125cc bike.

Mahindra has took a bold step and introduced the scooter in the power bike segment, it was astonishing that the bike was able to produce much better figure in terms of Output power and torque better than most of its rivalries.

The most advanced feature in this bike is the console which has been powered with multi colored lights. Also it provides most of the options that we have in car. Also USB port/Charger is provided to keep our Gadgets charged on the move.

Also the bike allows more storage space since only 4.5Ltrs is your fuel tank capacity and is also present in the front.

Specifications:

1. Engine Capacity: 124.6cc
   
2. Engine Type: 4- Stroke, Air cooled
   
3. Output power: 8Bhp @7000rpm
   
4. Engine Torque: 9nm @5500rpm
   
5. Top Speed: 85Kmph
   
6. Gear: Automatic transmission
   
7. Mileage: 53Kmpl (+or -)2kmpl
   
8. Fuel Capacity: 4.5Ltrs
   
9. Weight: 106kgs

Even when the bike has lesser output power the est torque and automatic gear system makes it to reach 0 to 60kmph in just 6.8 secs which is not a simple figure in terms of pick up.

It seems Mahindra want to rok two wheeler market how Bajaj wanted to rock car market.

Cheers!!!
