Mahindra Quanto to be launched in South Africa

Mahindra has said that it will launch the Quanto compact SUV in South Africa later this year. The Quanto will join the rest of the Indian SUV major’s line up already on sale in the African nation for quite a while now.

The Quanto is powered by a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder diesel twin-turbo mill producing 100bhp and 240Nm of torque. It is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and rides on 205/65/15 tyres. The ARAI efficiency of the Quanto is 17.21kmpl and Mahindra claims range of over 900kms in one tank of fuel.

The Quanto has seating for seven – two sideways jump seats in the back as third row. The model will be offered in a choice of six colour options - Fiery Black, Java Brown, Mist Silver, Toreador Red, Diamond White and Rocky Beige.

The South African car market is very similar to the Indian car market and it is likely that the Quanto with its high utility value and robust features will achieve a similar level of success that it has found in India.
