Mahindra when announcing the increase in production of the Rexton also announced that they’ll be increasing the production of their Compact SUV Quanto which has been a runaway success given that its top model is priced lower than its arch rival, the Renault Duster. Mahindra has also been increasing the production of their XUV 500 which has managed to set the sales charts on fire by being the best selling car in the Rs.15 lakh segment.
Mahindra has announced that they’ll be bringing in their Verito CS and the Reva in the first quarter of 2013 which will supplement the 33 percent increase in sales they’ve witnessed over the previous year. They have it all covered in the SUV segment and now look to catch hold of the compact sedan as well as the Electric car segment. Mahindra has taken the automotive market by storm and with their upcoming products, we just expect to hear the announcements of production of their cars being ramped up.
