Re: Mahindra Compact SUV Codenamed S101
Mahindra compact SUV to get upmarket cabin and AMT.
Mahindra’s Ecosport rival, the S101/102 will also with a three-passenger front rowWhile the slightly bigger Mahindra U-301 is expected to get a more stylish and upmarket cabin layout, the smaller S101/102 is expected to get a more youthful cabin. The Mahindra S-101/102’s interior gets a single binnacle instrument cluster, with two rectangular AC vents that sit on top of the centre console. There are multiple buttons that look like multimedia controls, with space for a small screen too. Under this are three HVAC switches positioned vertically.
Interestingly, the S-101/102 gets a benchseat, with a dash-mounted gear lever to maybe accommodate a third passenger in the front row. It’s similar to the front seat arrangement on the Datsun Go, though centre passenger legroom is expected to be more generous here. Still, the comfort and safety of such an arrangement remains to be seen. What the spy pics also confirm, is that it will get an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) gearbox apart from the standard manual transmission.
