Since we’re still a few months away from the launch of the TR20 and the TR40, Mahindra’s compact pickups designed for the US market, let’s take a look at what they built for the Indian market. The Mahindra Gio is supposedly India’s first compact truck and is a half-ton, diesel-powered 4-wheel pick up that’s loaded with much more features than their standard 3-wheelers and designed for moving goods in and around the city.
The Mahindra Gio is made for a whole new category in the Indian automotive industry, being in between the 3-wheel and 4-wheel utility vehicles. Its 9.1 horsepower engine was built by American company Kohler who typically makes them for mowers and tractors, paired with Mahindra’s 4-speed transmission. Other features worth mentioning are its 5-foot cargo box, 3.8-meter turning radius, “car-like” controls and
“trendy” looks. It comes out in 4 colors particularly Peacock Blue, Royal Red, Golden Yellow and Sporty Green. Probably the best thing about the Mahindra Gio is its bang for the buck. Its Suggested Retail Price is 1.65 to 1.68 lakh, which is just 3,578 to 3,643 USD converted.
While the idea of a 9 horsepower 4-wheel diesel truck may sound odd and its appearance a bit peculiar, bear in mind that the Mahindra Gio was built for the Indian market. That’s not how the Mahindra TR20 and TR40 will turn out. Don’t cancel your test drive appointments, people.
