Mahindra is readying a significantly updated version of the Quanto. The updated Quanto is expected to come with a wide list of exterior changes such as, mildly restyled headlamps, grille and bumpers, and new-design alloy wheels for the higher variants. Inside, the updated Quanto will now get a new beige-themed dashboard and steering wheel, and an audio system with Bluetooth and voice command recognition. The seats are also expected to be all-new, with better cushioning and lumbar support.
A major update expected on the Quanto will be the use of tweaked suspension and the addition of extra bushes and a rear stability bar. The Xylo has recently been given similar updates, which has resultantly led to a big difference in its driving characteristics.
The updated Quanto will come with the existing 1.5-litre three-cylinder diesel motor, good for 98.6bhp and 24.4kgm of torque. It will be mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
In 2014, Mahindra had showcased an AMT-gearbox equipped Quanto at the auto expo. Our sources tell us that this version could be launched along with the other styling and mechanical updates later this year.
Mahindra Quanto update: what is it?
- Exterior and interior styling tweaks and more features
- All-new seats with better cushioning and lumbar support
- Tweaked suspension set-up with extra bushes and rear stability bar
- AMT version likely to come with this update later this year
