Mahindra and Ssangyong combinedly developing a crossover for India

Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) is working hard on a new addition to its product portfolio, and in doing so, the company has tied up with Ssangyong. The combined project is termed as S102, which will be the first ever vehicle to be launched based on Mahindra and Ssangyong joint platform.

The S102 is basically based on Ssngyong's Korean product X100 platform. While the crossover is expected to arrive by late 2015 or the beginning of 2016. It will compete against the successfully running Ford Ecosport in India. Also it may affect the high demand running for SUV like Renault Duster in the local market.
Interestingly, the new S102 crossover could come with a 1.0-liter turbocharged petrol motor, which is again developed jointly by both auto companies. Commenting on the powertrain development Dr. Goenka, Excutive Director & President- Automotive & Farm Equipment Sector, said, “ We are jointly developing an engine family comprising of six different engines, but the big one is the new product based on X100 platform. I think people, begin to see the value of it and that will only grow.” He also added saying that the process of developing the engine will take place in India and Korea.
