Re: Mahindra Compact SUV Codenamed S101

M&M's S101/102 to have both New diesel and turbo petrol engines.
Mahindra and Ssangyong have developed a new turbo diesel engine that comes with a 1.2 liter cubic capacity, in a three cylinder layout. This engine will be available in two states of tune, 75 Bhp and 90 Bhp.
The upcoming S101 compact SUV, which will sit below the likes of the Mahindra Quanto and the Ford EcoSport, as a challenger to B-Segment hatchbacks will use the 1.2 liter turbo diesel engine in its 75 Bhp state of tune.
The S102 compact SUV, a product that will rival the EcoSport, and that will be priced and positioned above the Quanto, will use the newly developed 1.2 liter diesel engine in 90 Bhp state of tune.
Mahindra will also sell the S101 and S102 compact SUVs with petrol engines. A 1.2 liter turbo petrol engine, in multiple states of tune, is said to be in the works.

Re: Mahindra Compact SUV Codenamed S101

Very puny even for the Ecosport!
Could be a Swift competitor.
Wheels definitely need to be bigger/bulkier or maybe these are just being used for test drives but that can't be.

Definitely seems like a micro mini XUV in the making. Let's see whay finally comes out!

What Car is This? Spotted Today

Okay, It was an unexpected spot-on while, I was driving from velachery to tambaram and spotted this car at Medavakkam junction. I tried to get the front view of it but unfortunately, It took free-left at the junction.

Anyone know what car is that ? Looks like a hatchback / mini suv type from behind.

If you check the tail-lamps. They've designed it as 3 separated circles.

Re: What Car is This? Spotted Today

Even i spotted this car at guduvanchery while I was on my way back home. It did not seem like any mini SUV. It looked more like a large hatchback. The front shape looked more like tata vista/bolt but it clearly did not look like a bolt at the back. And since it was a TN registered car I concluded it couldnt be a TATA [confused].

Re: What car is this ? Spotted Today

Thanks for pushing my post to correct thread.

I still couldn't believe its an compact SUV. the way it looked in real was more like a hatchback. The rims/alloys were terrible though. I hope they have something better at final product. But I still love those racing type of tail lamps though. Could be nice if its LED powered. But still I love it.

Haha you're right. and its an automatic breed :P

I don't use any polish for interiors. Just liquid polish on exterior metallic surface.
Why, It looks dirty ? lol

Re: Mahindra Compact SUV Codenamed S101


Mahindra's S101 has front bench seats which seats 3 in front, including driver! Is safety compromised here?

The S101 will be one of three new models, and one of two new platforms, to be launched by Mahindra in 2015. It will rival B-segment hatchbacks like the Maruti Swift in terms of pricing, though in terms of size, it would be an EcoSport rival.

There are many vehicles which seat 3 people in the front - two models which immediately come to my mind is the Hyundai H1 and Fiat Panda.

Mahindra Compact SUV Codenamed S101

Mahindra has not yet been successful in the sub 4 m CUV segment and is all set to go offensive with its product line up.

0_468_700_http___172_17_115_180_82_ExtraImages_20150113115816_bolerox_copy.jpg

Mahindra S101/102, What is it?
  • All-new compact SUV to take on the Ford EcoSport
  • Developed grounds-up as a sub-four-metre vehicle on monocoque architecture
  • Will be offered as a six-seater for the Indian market
  • Engine line-up to include a 1.5-litre diesel and all-new 1.2-litre petrol
  • AMT gearbox will be offered as well
Mahindra S101/102 compact SUV is based on an all-new monocoque platform that, from the outset, has been designed to duck the four-metre mark. Targeted at first-time car or SUV buyers, the S101/102 is expected to get a cab-forward design where the A-pillar starts just aft of the front wheel arch, helping to free up more interior room. The longish wheelbase stretches to almost the entire length of the car and its overall profile looks very hatchback-like.
On the engine front, expect Quanto’s 1.5-litre three-cylinder motor to do duty mated to a five-speed manual and an AMT gearbox. Mahindra’s S101/102 will also come with an all-new 1.2-litre petrol motor which will be the first one of an all-new engine family from the carmaker.

Re: Mahindra Compact SUV Codenamed S101

Mahindra's has been working on the S101, its new compact SUV to compete with the Ford Ecosport, Maruti Suzuki's YBA and the Tata's upcoming compact SUV.

The Mahindra S101 will a monocoque body frame, which is light in weight .This will be a front-wheel drive .

The S101 will be made available with 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine options. These both engines will come mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Mahindra could even introduce the AMT on diesel, but there won’t an AWD.

The S101 will get a completely new dashboard and this will be a five-seater.
