Mechanically, the engine is now built out of aluminium. This helps in saving weight, the new engine is 55 kgs lighter than the previous one. It is still a 2.2-litre diesel engine but now it produces 132 Ps of max power and 300 Nm of peak torque. It comes mated to a cable shift 6-speed transmission that should have shorter throws than the previous one.
There are also some upgrades to the suspension setup. Mahindra has added MTV-CL dampers to all four struts. This should help in body control and the suspension itself has been retuned. The manufacturer also worked on the steering system so that it is easy to manoeuvre and control.
