Mahindra Quanto update in the works

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.
