Top 5 Things That Happened After Mahindra’s New Logo Reveal

Mahindra’s showrooms will undergo a revamp this year to reflect the carmaker’s new direction

Top 5 Things We Learned From Mahindra’s Reveal Of Its New Logo

Mahindra revealed its new logo and the upcoming XUV700 will be the first SUV from the carmaker to carry it. However, the changes for the Indian carmaker are far more important than just changing the insignia on the front of its SUVs. Here are 5 things we learned from the reveal of the carmaker’s new logo:

1) Mahindra Outlets Will Receive A Makeover By 2022

1300 Mahindra touchpoints in 832 cities will undergo a change by the end of this year to reflect the brand’s new identity. Mahindra hasn’t fully revealed the extent of changes, but the carmaker also plans to move on from its red and white colour scheme. The new colour palette will use charcoal as a primary colour, with grey and red being used for highlights.


2) Current Mahindra Vehicles Will Also Get The New Logo

The XUV700 will be the first Mahindra to feature the new logo. However, the carmaker revealed that current vehicles in its lineup would also receive the new logo, albeit in a phased manner. This was evident from the brand film as well as the XUV300 and the Thar that were in it.

3) Commercial Vehicles And Farm Equipment Will Continue To Use Old Logo

Mahindra’s commercial vehicle and farm equipment division will continue to use the old ‘Road Ahead’ logo. This has been done to create a clear distance between the personal mobility sector and these other divisions of Mahindra, to help paint a new premium picture for Mahindra cars.

4) Mahindra Will Focus On Offering AWD Vehicles

Mahindra’s focus has always been on offering vehicles that can take the road less travelled, but in recent times, other carmakers have shied away from offering 4WD or AWD in the R200K - R400K segment, as it increases the price. Mahindra however emphasised in the brand film that it wanted its cars to retain their go-anywhere, and that is evident because the XUV700 and the upcoming Scorpio will both offer 4WD/AWD capabilities.

5) Mahindra Establishes Itself As A Premium Player

The change has been coming for some time now. It started with the XUV500 a decade ago, and the likes of Marazzo, XUV300 and the new Thar took it forward. The XUV700 however is here to cement this new change, establishing Mahindra as a premium player in the market. The new logo and outlet renovation go hand in hand with Mahindra’s new goal and the latest Mahindra specials to go with them.

Bonus Point - XUV700 Will Get A Striking Blue Shade


It was a very subtle hint but we did manage to catch it. In the brand film, the new Mahindra logo can be seen against various natural backdrops. In one of these backdrops, an XUV700 can be seen in the reflection of the logo, and it seems to be decked in what looks like a royal blue shade. The shade is unlike anything else we’ve seen on Mahindra cars, and we can’t wait to get a better look at it.

2016 MAHINDRA BOLERO POWER+ ROAD TEST REVIEW

Image
The Bolero Power+ is Mahindra's idea of a more powerful and slightly smaller option to its wildly popular utility vehicle. We put the vehicle to test in jam packed Mumbai a day before Dussehra and also in the semi-urban areas around Mumbai where the roads demand a rugged vehicle like this. Engine This is the real star of the package. The 3-cylinder motor from the TUV300 is a gem, and I have always enjoyed the oodles of torque available right from the word go. In the new Mahindra Bolero Power+, however, the engine has been detuned to make 11PS less. But, let me assure you, the engine feels anything but underpowered. From 0-80kmph, she pulls effortlessly. That's nothing special, but try doing 18km/h in third gear in any other manual car and you'll either stall the engine or cause considerable grumble and judder. No such issues with this engine. In the same vein, the engine refinement is impressive for a UV. The amount of sound-deadening material used under the h
