While the base trims have steel wheels with body colored spare wheel cover, top end is blessed with alloy wheels with a full size spare alloy wheel cover. A pair of stylish roof rails add sportiness, which this manufacturer aims to portray as.

Being a utility vehicle, its capacity of storage is what is a major factor. A boot space of 300 litres can be extended up to 690 litres by folding the third row seats. This amount of boot space is very advantageous in order to plan for long journeys. Apart from this massive space, its compartment also needs to facilitate a lot of stuff. This need is addressed by the car maker by incorporating bottle holders and magazine pockets in all doors, a mobile charging socket to the middle row, 2 front and 2 rear cup holders, foldable snack tray and storage under driver seat. In terms of internal ambiance that it offers, there is a 2-DIN audio system, which can support multiple media players, three charging points, tilt adjusting facility for steering, rear windscreen has a demister integrated and a wiper. It has a mCR100 engine that has twin turbo charger, which were first introduced into the Indian engines through this SUV. A combination of 100bhp power and 240Nm torque output will be considerable figures for an off-roading vehicle. Mated to a five speed manual transmission gear box, this has the ability to accelerate up to a maximum speed of 160 Kmph. Its fuel economy too stands at a reasonable figure which is ARAI certified. A micro-hybrid technology equipped in this series will help in switching-off the idle engine and hence minimize the fuel consumption. This will further increase the mileage, which is very impressive. A full size spare wheel is offered to all the variants which is fitted in the rear end of the vehicle. There is a 2 year or 50,000 Kilometer standard warranty offered by the company.

Editor's take : The acceleration produced by the 1.5-litre engine is good and it does well when it comes to drivability.
A five speed manual transmission gear box is integrated to this motor. This enables it to reach a maximum speed of 160 Kmph and also has the ability to gear up to 100 Kmph mark from naught within 17.41 seconds.
Editor's take : This new engine on the Quanto is a newly derived engine from the existing Mahindra powertrains. The twin turbos help to reduce the lag and make it more drivable as the power delivery is linear, like a petrol mill. Mahindra does a good job with its new engine.
A 1.5-litre mCR100 diesel engine is incorporated with a displacement capacity of 1493cc. Three cylinders and twelve valves are arranged based a dual overhead camshaft valve system. Based on a common rail direct injection fuel supply system, a mileage of 17.21 Kmpl on highways and about 13.8 Kmpl, when driven under standard driving conditions can be delivered. This is further in compliance with the norms of Bharat Stage IV. It is mated with a 5-speed manual transmission gear box. A maximum power of 100bhp at 3750rpm and a peak torque output of 240Nm at 1600 to 2800rpm range can be expected from this mill. Efficiency to accelerate to the maximum speed of 160 Kmph and to breach from 0 to 100 Kmph mark, this vehicle takes 17.41 seconds.
Editor's take : The new three –cylinder engine on the Quanto has good fuel efficiency.
The oil burner fitted to it runs on a common rail direct injection fuel supply system and can offer a mileage of 13.8 Kmpl, under standard driving conditions. Whereas on bigger roads, this mark can go up to 17.21 Kmpl.
Editor's take : The power produced by the Quanto is good as this three-pot engine produces close to 100bhp of power.
Its three cylinder and twelve valves based mill is arranged based on a double overhead camshaft valve system. A maximum power of 100bhp at 3750rpm and a torque output of 240Nm at 1600 to 2800rpm range can be expected from this mill.
Editor's take : The Quanto gets most of the features of the Xylo like in-dash music system, steering mounted audio controls etc.
A lot of advanced features can be found in this offering. With regards to audio unit, the base and mid-variants are not incorporated with it. But the customer can add this to the vehicle on an additional cost as per preference. In the high-end trims, there is an advanced 2-DIN music system, which has CD, MP3 support. Apart from SD card slot, USB port is also available. User can further customize their vehicle with leather upholstery, body decals and many other such appeal enhancing or comfort improvisers can be added from authorized dealers.
Editor's take : The ride and handling of the Quanto is one area that doesn’t impress us. The problem is that, neither the ride is excellent nor is the handling that great.
Power steering feature and a minimum turning radius of 5.4 meters makes handling of this vehicle quite effortless and convenient. Its braking comprises of a pair of disc brakes that are fitted to its front wheels and a standard set of drum brakes are integrated to the rear wheels. When it comes to its suspension, its front axle is is equipped with an independent double wishbone along with coil springs and an anti-roll bar. Whereas, a five bar link with coil springs are fixed to its rear axle. Additionally, high-end variants are blessed with an anti-lock braking system along with an electronic brake-force distribution is integrated in this series. This will help gain control over all kinds of roads.
Editor's take : The safety features on the Quanto include ABS and dual airbags.
Plenty of features have contributed in making this vehicle a safe one to drive in. Fatal injuries are defended by dual airbags in top end trims. It is made child-friendly by integrating child-locks to middle as well as rear doors. Anti-lock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution will avoid locking of brakes and slipping of tyres on difficult roads. For a better vision in the darkness, a pair of fog lamps are offered. Parking aid would be of immense help, when there are tricky corners and this is addressed by incorporating an Intellipark reverse assist. Its sensors are integrated into the rear bumper, which will produce a beep-sound, when it detects any object within 120cms distance. A digital immobilizer is present that keeps theft related worries at bay. A washer and wiper are fitted to the rear windscreen.
Top end variants are blessed with a set of alloy wheels and has a spare wheel with an alloy colored cover. While the base and mid-level trims have steel wheels, they have a body colored cover to their spare wheel. All these wheels are mounted by a radial tubeless tyres that are of size 205/65 R15.
