MAHINDRA REXTON

Mahindra G4 Rexton           Rs  20.0 Lakh

The XUV500 will lose its flagship position in Mahindra’s lineup this year. The Mahindra G4 Rexton , which has made its official debut at the Auto Expo 2018, will soon become the most expensive SUV you can buy from the homegrown automaker. It is technically the second-gen SsangYong Rexton, but will be marketed under Mahindra’s label in its second innings in the country.

Compared to the outgoing Rexton, the new SUV is based on a brand new platform. However, it continues to be a body-on-frame offering like most of the other SUVs in this segment. Thanks to the new underpinnings, the G4 Rexton has grown dimensionally compared to the SsangYong Rexton. Mahindra also promises stiffer and lighter chassis compared to the previous model with high-strength steel (HSS) construction.
