Rumour: Mahindra working on refreshed Quanto

The Mahindra Quanto has not been a strong seller. The company manages to move roughly 150 units a month on an average - way less than products like the Bolero, Scorpio and XUV500. In an attempt to push its sales, Mahindra is rumoured to be working on a refreshed version of the compact MPV.

The Quanto's appearance is one of its weak points. Mahindra will try to make the car look more palatable, with restyled headlamps, grille and bumpers. The design of the Quanto's alloy wheels is also likely to be changed.

On the inside, the Quanto is expected to get a new beige-themed dashboard and steering wheel and new seats with better cushioning and lumbar support. The car is also likely to get a new audio system with Bluetooth connectivity and voice command recognition.

Like the updated Xylo, the Quanto will receive a reworked suspension with extra bushes and rear stability bar. The car will continue to use the 1.5-litre, three-cylinder diesel engine and 5-speed gearbox from the current model.

An AMT-equipped version of the Quanto is expected later this year.
