India’s leading player in utility vehicle segment Mahindra and Mahindra has been working on developing a new SUV codenamed as S105 for the Australian market. The upcoming 2017 model is stated to share some resemblance to the KUV100 but it would be longer than 4-meters and get a four-cylinder engine, unlike the three-cylinder one that serves the KUV100.
The revelation was made to sources by James Halliwell, Mahindra Automotive Australia’s Marketing Manager stating that the vehicle launch is not too far. The Mahindra S105 is expected to be loaded with advanced safety features like side curtain airbags and ESC that appeals to the local masses. Commenting on the KUV100, Halliwell added, “This is a sub 4.0-metre car, yet has a 3+3 configuration for the Indian market with those safety features included also, so it should be a real volume winner for the company.”
