Mahindra & Mahindra is to display two models from its newly-acquired SsangYong brand – the Korando crossover and Rexton SUV – for the first time in India at the forthcoming Auto Expo.
The Rexton is a typical old-school SUV based on the tried-and-tested mechanicals of the first-generation Mercedes M-class. It is powered by a 2.7-litre five-cylinder turbo-diesel motor developing 162bhp and 34.8kgm of torque via a five-speed automatic gearbox.
The Korando, a soft-roader built on a monocoque platform, is powered by a 173bhp 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine and comes with a six-speed automatic gearbox.
Mahindra will also showcase the all-new Reva NXR electric car and will also have an electric version of its Verito saloon at its stall. Also on display will be the Mahindra-Navistar range of medium and heavy commercial vehicles.
Apart from this, Mahindra’s other models, the XUV500, Thar, Bolero and Genio double- cab pickup will also be displayed.
