Sometimes I wonder why it took so much time for Mahindra & Mahindra to get serious about their Ssangyong models, especially the Rexton which they launched several years ago. Nobody in India really knew from where this car had landed and many had no inclination that it was from the overall Mahindra Group stable. Well, all that is history now and we have the new Alturas G4, basically a fourth generation Rexton which had its world premiere in 2017 at the Seoul Motor Show and subsequently shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The luxury SUV has sold more than 40,000 units worldwide and its sports variant has sold another 40,000 units worldwide and they are doing extremely well in the global markets. Finally, it is in India with a reassuring Mahindra skin.
EXTERIOR DESIGN AND FEATURES
With the Mahindra Alturas G4, the company will be setting a new benchmark in its offering. It would be the most elite of the vehicles that would be sold with the Mahindra badging. The Alturas G4 will be exclusively available through a separate high-end showroom with a lot of candies for the customers. This elegant looking vehicle is expected to take on the likes of the Toyota Fortuner, the Ford Endeavour and a whole host of 4 wheel drive SUVs out there in the top-notch category. The vehicle sits on 255/60 R18 tyres shrouded around smart diamond cut alloy wheels.
The Alturas G4 we drove was a top of the line fully automatic four-wheel drive vehicle with a length of 4850mm, width of 1960mm and a height of 1845mm with a wheel base of 2865mm.
