Expected Comfort Features of Mahindra (World SUV W201)

Way back in 2002, 23 engineers working away at Mahindra’s in house Integrated Design and Manufacturing(IDAM) team under the leadership of Dr Pawan Goenka and Mr Alan Durante came up with India’s top selling SUV, the Mahindra Scorpio SUV, in what was a gloriously indigenous effort. The biggest takeaway from the Scorpio’s launch, was the killer pricing range of INR 6-8 Lakhs which took India by storm. Will we have history being repeated almost a decade later, when Mahindra launches its most ambitious project yet, the Mahindra W201 World SUV later this year? Read on, to find out!

Here’s a biggie, ladies and gentlemen! Mahindra hotly anticipated W201 World SUV is all set to tentatively arrive on the September 22nd, 2011. And we have the possible price points too. This bit of buzz is brought to you by one of our readers, who also happens to be very closely associated with the Mahindra W201 project. We’ll call him Mr M for now. Without further ado, here are the prices at which the Mahindra W201 World SUV is expected to be priced at and the pricing figures look extremely competitive indeed.

The Mahindra W201 World SUV’s price is expected to start at INR 10.49 Lakhs going all the way up to 12.99 Lakhs for the top end variant, all prices being that of ex-showroom Delhi. We also cross checked the launch dates and pricing figures from our source at Mahindra, who also happens to be in the thick of things with the Mahindra W201 project, and found that Mr M’s figures and launch date is just what Mahindra seems to have in mind currently. Also, the Mahindra W201 will feature 7 seats and come with a luxurious interiors.

Just yesterday, we brought you uncamouflaged scoop pics of the Tata Safari Merlin SUV. From the Mahindra W201 world SUV’s prices that we have today, it seems that both these SUVs will compete head to head against each other. Mahindra has steered clearly of the W201 being priced at the Tata Aria’s levels and this single factor is expected to give the W201 World SUV a great chance at the hustings as the W201, at these price levels could form the ideal upgrade for Scorpio owners.

The Mahindra W201 SUV will arrive with a 2.2 Liter CRDe Diesel engine outputting 140 Bhp and 320 Nm. A six speeder manual is what is expected to transmit all that power and torque to the wheels. From the pricing figures, it appears that an automatic gearbox version is also in the scheme of things at Mahindra as the top end variant’s price seems to hint at. We’re still hinging on the all wheel drive option being held back for a launch a while later. The run up to the Mahindra W201 World SUV’s launch begins
