Mahindra & Mahindra has been launching new products and upgrading its existing line-up of vehicles to impress the Indian customers and surge up their sales in the country. Recently, Mahindra’s all-new facelifted Quanto or the NuvoSport as it is called seems all set to recover the company's sales figure after the failure of the Quanto. Mahindra Quanto has not been a successful product for the SUV manufacturer due to its uncanny design and performance issues. However, the all-new Quanto aka NuvoSport no longer looks like its predecessor. The NuvoSport gets a new design that is sportier and will appeal to the younger crowd.
The facelifted sub 4-meter vehicle, as the name suggests will mostly get cosmetic makeovers, featuring an all-new front fascia, a new side, as well as rear design. Other major upgrades include a new engine and refreshed interiors. This Mahindra facelift comes with a price tag of INR 7.35 lakhs (ex-showroom, Thane) which is more than that of the TUV300. With this new SUV, Mahindra will be targeting urban buyers.
