SWOT Analysis
Strengths A well-engineered, contemporary SUV at a value-formoney price Acres of space on the 1st & 2nd seat rows Competent engine delivers fantastic urban driveability, as well as fast highway performance Mature ride quality & balanced handling. Body roll is minimal too Loaded to the gills with technology, equipment & gizmos Safety kit includes 6 airbags, ESP with rollover mitigation, ABS + EBD and all-wheel disc brakes

Weakness Absolutely no luggage capacity with all the seats in place Cramped 3rd row of seats is best suited to children only. Maximum of 5 adults onboard Overdone front-end design is a hit or miss. Should have been toned down Apprehensions over niggles with a complex Mahindra SUV. Especially the electronics Mahindra's un-premium after-sales service experience Automatic transmission missing from the options list.

Opportunities India has strong appetite for SUVs SUV Market in India grew by 16% Constitutes around 14% of total passenger vehicle market

Threats Battle with the International Automakers like Renault, Toyota, Skoda, etc. Cheaper SUVs like Renault Duster entering markets
