Mahindra Gio Passenger Cab Launched At Rs. 1.95 Lakh – Specifications

Posted: 14 Feb 2011 06:00 AM PST


The commercial vehicle industry is on a boom with almost every major manufacturer jumping into it with their ultra low cost yet reliable products targeted at masses. Mahindra & Mahindra is one of those manufacturer who not only offers quality products but is also responsible for a major share of this industry.

A couple of months back Mahindra was in news for Mahindra Maxximo pick-up truck which proved to be a value for money but maybe the customers wanted a bit more cheaper product and now Mahindra Gio has come up as an option in Bihar. The only difference between the two is that one Maxximo is supposed to be a pick-up truck while the newly launched Gio is presented as a passenger cab.

From now onwards people could be seen commuting in such Gio passenger cabs on the roads of Bihar and it would be economical for both the commuters and the owner of the cab. Similar vehicle from Tata, Bajaj and Piaggio will face difficult competition from the same.

Posted: 14 Feb 2011 05:30 AM PST


Renault is very keen on entering the Indian market and planning to slip in as soon as possible. Confirming it is the very recent disassociation taking place with former partner Mahindra & Mahindra. On one hand where Mahindra will be bringing in new models of Mahindra Logan under a different model name, Renault on the other is busy testing Renault Fluence on the roads of Chennai.

To start with, this sedan from the company would not be enough to attract potential buyers and to highlight the line-up, the parent company is planning to launch its subsidiary's very successful SUV, Dacia Duster.

The Logan based car is very well known for its robustness, simplicity and reliability and when launched will definitely give Tata Safari, Mahindra Xylo, Mahindra Scorpio etc. cut throat competition.

The car has proven to be a hit globally and is celebrating its success for some years now but earlier it lacked some safety features which are now being offered as standard. So very clearly this new SUV is going to convert the respective segment into a battleground.
