Chrome inserted Mahindra signature on the center of front grille is striking. The grille is surrounded with LED head light cluster on both sides. These extend till front door edges with mFALCON signature on them. Tinted wind screen and door mirrors add to the looks. Side profile is perfectly balanced with B-pillar design, character lines, wheel arch claddings, mud flaps and perfectly trimmed front door handles. Interestingly, rear door handles are placed higher due to ergonomical factors, as claimed by its makers. ORVMs (Outside rear View Mirror) come in body color and appear in the form of a clinched fist. The view from rear is modest. Reflectors in trapezoidal shape and dual tone beefy bumper at the rear bottom appear classy. The view is enriched with perfectly positioned rectangular tail lamps, rear spoiler and muscular cuts on body which makes it look complete.
Interior:
Moving Inside you are graced by Piano black and beige interior color combination, which is quite impeccable. Cockpit design is revolutionary with stylish dashboard and a bench seat making room for three passengers. Dashboard houses most of the accessories for easy access and extended room. Interestingly, gear shift knob is fixed on to dashboard thus making room for extra passenger in the front row. Incorporated is a dual pod instrument cluster with speedometer, tachometer and other vehicle information. Along with that, a three spoke electric power steering is offered with tilt-ability for driver's ease. For passenger comfort, seats are finished in vinyl plus fabric upholstery.

Storage compartments are impressive with expandable 243 liter boot space, rear under body storage, front & rear door pockets and storage under co-driver seat.

The drive train is built in compliance with BS IV emission norms. This diesel engine from maker is built to return impressive mileage of 25.32 kmpl, which makes it India's most fuel efficient diesel SUV.
