Mahindra SsangYong Tivoli will take on the likes of highly established rivals in the category as this the last segment for Mahindra to enter
Mahindra four-wheeler counterpart is known for only one thing and that are SUV’s. The cars came and went did not work. Every other SUV and MPV however, seems to be working for them very well indeed. Right from KUV100 to XUV 500, every SUV has a decent amount of sales number every month and which translates into heavy profits on YoY basis. To keep the momentum, steady, they launched and refreshed every vehicle thoroughly and still there is one last segment left.
Sure, it has ruled it with the Scoprio but with the base variants only. However, it is time that it starts even lower than the Scorpio and above the TUV 300 to give consumers exactly what they want.
