Mahindra Quanto facelift gets a new engine : SCOOP

Mahindra Quanto was launched with a 1.5-litre three-cylinder diesel engine, which is powerful and efficient. The Quanto facelift, which is in the works will be an updated engine. This new engine will be called as mHawk100 and will be producing about 100bhp of power.

This engine will be coming with several additions to enhance the refinement and drivability. It will get dual-mass flywheel and other technologies too. There wont be any difference in the engine power output but what will enhance is its vibration at idle and lesser engine noise.

Mahindra has re-developed this engine with a similar set of specifications and this is now a part of the mHawk range of engines. These engines have been developed jointly by Mahindra and Ssangyong. The Indian utility vehicle will be powering more SUVs with this new range of engines. There are two more diesel and three new petrol engines too that have been developed by the duo for its upcoming range of compact UVs.

The Quanto facelift will get a major upgrade in its styling too. The hood will get a air scoop, just like the Scorpio to make it look more muscular and rugged. There will also be an AMT (automated manual transmission) as well.
