Mahindra spent six months and 80,000 testing local kilometres getting the new Pik-Up just right for Australia.
The new budget line of utes from India features a refreshed look, more powerful diesel, new six-speed transmission and stylish new interior.
An updated 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel features a variable geometry turbocharger, with 103kW of power and 330Nm of torque from a low 1600 revs, delivering excellent acceleration and towing power.
The turbodiesel is linked to a six-speed manual gearbox that drives the rear wheels, with selectable low range four-wheel drive.
The entire range also scores an Eaton Mechanical Locking Differential as standard.
Safety features include two airbags, Hill Descent Control, Electronic Stability Control, ABS, EBD and Roll-over mitigation.
There’s also headrests and three-point lap sash seat belts for all seats along with two ISOFIX anchors in the rear seat with three top tether points for all Double Cab models.
