3 Failed Mahindra Cars From The Past Decade | Missing The Bull’s Eye

Much like other products, vehicles to are an outcome of rigorous developments in terms of technology, design, and specifications. But despite all the efforts, there are times when a product totally fails in the market, unable to garner a response that the OEM imagined the product would. So here are 3 failed Mahindra cars of the past decade.

1. Mahindra Quanto
   

   

   If there’s one thing that the Quanto proved, was that looks can be deceptive. Launched in 2012, the Mahindra Quanto was a “mini-SUV”. Based on the same platform as the Xylo, the Quanto was basically a sub-4m vehicle that was targeted at urban buyers who wanted a high-riding vehicle that is highly affordable. Powered by a 1.5-liter diesel that delivered 100 PS the SUV failed to make a lasting impression in the market with extremely low sales numbers. Despite desperate attempts by Mahindra, even the mid-life upgrades couldn’t save the Quanto ultimately leading to its discontinuation.

2. Mahindra Verito Vibe
   

   

   Chances are that you’ve not heard of this vehicle. Well, it’s not your fault, after all the Verito Vibe was just a mere 5-year stint in the market. Launched in 2013, the Verito Vibe was a sub-4m hatchback that was essentially based on the Mahindra Verito sedan. The vehicle was launched to lock horns with the Chevrolet Sail-UVA and Toyota Etios Liva but never managed to clock in the numbers needed to actually be a good competitor. Powering the hatchback was a sole 1.5-liter diesel engine that put out a mere 65 PS of power, the Verito Vibe missed out on any major USP that could drive the vehicle’s sales.

3. Mahindra e2o
   

   

   While electric cars are in trend right now, back in 2013 Mahindra came up with an Electric Car that it called the e2o. Launched in 2013, the e2o was a two-door, four-seater hatchback that offered features like automatic transmission, mobile application, etc. With a claimed range of 120 km., there is no doubt that the e20 was ahead of its time, what made it a failure in terms of sales, was its low range, and bad timing. Whether or not the e20 was capable is another thing, the matter of fact is that the market wasn’t ready at all for electric vehicles that were as compact as the e2o.
