While most carmakers have announced price hikes across their model range, Mahindra and Mahindra has kept from increasing prices on its cars. But not for long, because come April, the Indian SUV maker too will join the price-hike bandwagon. So with barely two days remaining in the month of March 2016, here are the discounts that you can avail on Mahindra cars.

SsangYong Rexton

The premium SUV from the Mahindra-owned Korean manufacturer is offered with a sizeable Rs 2.1 lakh discount. It is powered by a 2.7-litre, five-cylinder diesel engine, and can be opted with both manual and automatic gearboxes. The automatic variant gets an AWD system too. Prices for the Rexton range from Rs 23.68 lakh to Rs 25.77 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai).  

Mahindra Quanto

Mahindra’s first sub-four-metre offering is about to get a major overhaul, and will be launched as the Nuvosport on the April 4. However, the pre-facelifted model is up for grabs with a price-cut of Rs 1.35 lakh, which is quite steep, given that the car is priced between Rs 6.91-8.47 lakh.

Mahindra XUV500

The stylish and feature-packed XUV500 received a mild facelift towards the end of 2015, and has added a six-speed automatic gearbox to its kit-list. The SUV offers AWD on both its manual and automatic gearbox equipped variants in all states except in Delhi. It gets a 2.2-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine, and a 1.99-litre four-cylinder diesel engine (latter only in Delhi NCR region). Mahindra is offering a total of Rs 77,000 in discounts on the XUV500, which is priced between Rs 11.91-17.74 lakh, ex-showroom Mumbai.

Mahindra Bolero

The Spartan and rugged people mover is being offered with a price-cut of Rs 70,000. It is powered by a 63bhp 2.5-litre diesel engine. A brand new Bolero will set you back by anywhere between Rs 7.71-7.86 lakh.

Renault Kwid 1.0 spied road testing

The Kwid 1.0 will be equipped with a larger 1.0-litre engine and will rival the Alto K10 and the 1.0-litre Hyundai Eon.

XE cabin design is clean and sporty. Low dash gives a good view out. Quality is decent, but not as good as Merc.

Jag seats low, but supportive. Space is just sufficient.

XE rear visibility very poor thanks to small windscreen.

Much improved touchscreen with all-new graphics.

237bhp motor packs a solid punch; sounds good too.

C-class cabin has great old-world luxury charm with modern touches. Quality is almost as good as an S-class.

C-class has a bit more room, but lacks thigh support.

Round AC vents give the Merc a classic luxury feel.

Knurled metal switches and toggles are a work of art.

Merc spare eats up boot space; Jag’s is tucked away.
