Request to please refer to my engine post. It has been sufficiently covered.

Definitely. But as Andy Grove said

No, it's the picture. There wasn't any rust.

That's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place
One area where the Bolero does score is body roll. It's got a shorter & wider stance. But between the two products overall, there's no doubt that the Quanto is the superior.

Make no mistake, the Quanto's 3 cylinder diesel is among the better 3 cylinders out there. The overall result is far superior to what VW has achieved in the Polo diesel.

A key question is mileage with Mahindra advertising an ARAI certified mileage of 17.4 kmpl, it may be a dampner for many since the real world mileage would be much lower.

The Quanto's ARAI rating is 4 - 5 kpl more than all other body-on-frame UVs.

Nope. The Quanto's engine will fit other RWD body-on-frame UVs but not a FWD monocoque sedan.

The Sumo Gold has one single advantage over the Quanto : Soft ride quality. In every other area, the Quanto owns it. The Quanto is far more modern, has better interiors, engine, performance etc. I'd pick the Quanto over the antique Sumo Gold any day.

Not enough power to move that heft. Layout suited to FWD, not RWD.

I didn't find a way to reset it either.

If rumours are anything to go by, a Xylo-engine & 4x4 drivetrain will debut in the Quanto next year.

With a factory-fitted CNG kit, the Quanto will end up a 5 seater. CNG markets are primarily Delhi & Mumbai only. No CNG in rural India.
Why would Mahindra spend all that time and effort developing a petrol engine for a variant that'll account for 2% of sales? Just doesn't make business sense.

The Ertiga is definitely worth the 1.xx lakh price difference over the Quanto. I'd personally stretch and buy the Maruti if I needed this kind of vehicle.
