Confirmed: Mahindra to launch new series of petrol engines with the upcoming S101

During the launch of TUV3OO, Mahindra has confirmed that they will be the introducing new range of petrol engines which are co-developed with SsangYong!

Mahindra has launched their much-awaited compact SUV - TUV300 and also confirmed that they will be launching their first-ever in-house developed petrol engine with the upcoming S101, it will be a 1.2L unit. The S101 is next in the pipeline and will enter this year. The company says that the new range of gasoline engine will feature three engine options - 1.2L, 1.6L and a bigger 2.0-liter motor. There is no info as of yet, that whether the engines will be turbocharged or naturally aspirated.

Speaking of the S101, it is also a sub-4m vehicle but unlike the TUV300 which looks like an SUV, S101 appears to be a crossover just like the Renault Kwid. Prices of it are expected to be in the range of 4-6 lacs and will share plenty of features with the recently launched TUV300. Moreover, apart from the new 1.2-liter engine, S101 is expected to feature this 1.5L mHawk80 diesel that debuted with the TUV300 today, maybe in a little-detuned state. Expect it to feature AMT gearbox with the engine options.

A couple of months earlier we spied the S101 along with the U301 aka TUV3OO (launched) near Nashik and it was looking production ready.
