Time offering a lot to choose from, offering ample offerings to make a pick from for the regular car buyer in the native market of our country.The The compact SUV market is running at its best at the moment, while at the same market is abundant and enriched with five options to choose from. Compacted SUV like the Ford EcoSport, Hyundai Creta, S-Cross from Maruti, Renault Duster and the Terrano have supplemented their value and point of reference in the market, ever since they have been hurled in the market. While there is another name to join hands with these sporty contestants, right from the Mahindra Stable, namely the Mahindra TUV300. It would be supposedly a sub-4 meter car. Today we would analyze its features and based upon its specifications, we are going to compare it with the primary game player of this particular segment, namely the Ford EcoSport.
Exteriors of the cars: Ford EcoSport - While ever since it launched, the car is been talked about its lavish and stylish look and to be very honest, the car actually carries a charm in its appearance.The loom definitely carries an SUV feel, along with a mounted bonnet, muscular headlamps along with an ample hexagonal grille. The sides are highlighted by colossal wheel arch along with a delicate shoulder line and the clad rear windscreen that complements a delicate twist towards the tip of the side. The rear also greets the rest of its glance with edgy tail light bunch and that tailgate mount spare wheel. Apart from this, the ground clearance of EcoSport is 200mm, that is definitely the show stopper as its certainly the best numbers offered in any of the SUVs till date and that supplements the total height and look.tha car definitely caries abundant SUV factors along with a city look as well, however being the sub 4-m, it does look smaller in size, compare to the rest like the Hyundai Creta or the Duster.Mahindra TUV 300While talking about the latest player in the market, the Mahindra TUV300, although there haven?t been any pictures disclosed by the brand, but we do have a sketch made after the teaser. While the sketch is being rendered, the overall look is quite boxy to look at. This definitely offers an edge being an SUV. The squarish layout looks much inspired by its sibling, being the Bolero, whereas the short face and rear projection provides a sporty look. The car would carry Mahindra?s traditional grille, headlights in a rectangular shape at the flanks and a similar approach towards the tail lights at the rear. The Mahindra TUV300 is also suppose to be dressed up with a high ground clearance of 200mm or more along with a tailgate mounted spare wheel. Additionally the large windows that are again a traditional custom in most of the product by the brand, along with thick and masculine tyres are revealed in the sketch of the car.
Inside both the cars:Typically, the brand Mahindra is not considered to mark its name while classy and lavish interiors are concerned, though they are practical but are full of some ergonomic and value concerns.Ford, on the other hand, is well recognized for their ergonomically and sturdily crafted cars and Ford EcoSport just an edge over. Also, EcoSport acquires a reasonable portion of gadgets that is worth the exploration. The seats are well accommodating and 5 people can settle down at ease. One of the disadvantageous aspect is the absence of a touchscreen infotainment system that is well equipped in the latest offerings like Creta, S-Cross or Duster and its definitely gives an edge over the regular ones, so we would say it?s a must miss from the brand.Well, the Mahindra TUV300 could easily score on this, as it might be acquiring a touchscreen infotainment unit from Scorpio or XUV500, also the spied pictures and the recent teasers that display the steering wheel and the mid console speaks of the brand being well aware of the competition around. We expect the TUV300 to work up its interiors quite well.
Mechanics of the cars:EcoSport has acquired the regular compact SUV segment?s record, with the front wheel drive display, and the rest fixed to the monocoque chassis. But that definitely works for this car and Ford?s suspension and chassis adjustment supplements the EcoSport ability to handle these aspects. The car is out and about carrying three engine versions to make your pick from the 1.5 Ti-VCT petrol with DCT automatic, the most admired 1.5 TDCi diesel and the-best in class 1.0 L Ecoboost.Although, the officials at Mahindra are maintaining the mystery behind their upcoming product, however it is considered that it would be developed on a ladder frame structure. The case is almost certainly made acquiring the hydro formed chassis of Scorpio that would definitely supplement its off-road capacity. Also, the car could be a rear wheel driven, similar to the Quanto that gives an edge over the Ford EcoSport on rough conditions. It would derive power from a 1.5 L mHawk 80 motor, the unit is the one used by Quanto, but is projected to make 80bhp.
Pricing :The Brand Mahindra is a home base manufacturer who has always been supported being the most productive and a rational maker, who has always priced its products well within the limits of the average Indian buyers. It is most probably going to happen; that the Mahindra?s upcoming compact car would have pricing that would certainly affect the EcoSport, big time
