BS6 Mahindra Alturas G4 Launched, Cheaper Than Toyota Fortuner

Mahindra has finally launched the BS6 Alturas G4 in the Indian market at a price range of Rs 28.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), for the 2WD variant, to Rs 31.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), for the 4WD model. Both the models are now Rs 99,000 costlier than their BS4 counterparts. The BS6 Mahindra Alturas G4 directly competes with the likes of Toyota Fortuner. However, the updated Mahindra SUV is cheaper than the Toyota Fortuner because the diesel T-Fort is priced between Rs 30.19 lakh to Rs 33.95 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). As you can see, there is a pretty big price difference between the prices of both the SUVs.

The updated Mahindra Alturas G4 gets propelled by a BS6-compliant 2.2-litre oil-burner

The BS6 Mahindra Alturas G4 derives power from a 2.2-litre, four-pot, turbo-diesel mill that produces 181 PS of peak power and 420 Nm of twisting force. The engine comes paired with a Mercedes-Benz-sourced 7-speed automatic transmission. Except for the BSVI-compliance, the powertrain stays untouched.

Moreover, the updated SUV gets the same styling, interior layout and features as the old model. The BS6 Mahindra Alturas G4 comes loaded with features like an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Connectivity, two-zone climate control, electrically adjustable driver’s seat with memory function, powered tailgate, ventilated seats, an electric sunroof and much more. In terms of safety, the SUV comes loaded with features like ABS with EBD, hill descent control, front and reverse parking sensors, brake assist system, a 360-degree camera, traction control system, electronic stability program, active rollover protection and hill start assist.

Inside, the SUV continues to employ the same cabin design and features

In terms of dimensions, the Mahindra Alturas G4 is 4850 mm long, 1,960 mm wide, 1,845 mm tall and has a wheelbase of 2,865 mm. No cosmetical changes have been made on outside, the SUV continues to get the huge 7-slat piano-black grille with some chrome elements. For better illumination, the car features projector headlamps, with LED DRLs and LED foglamps. The launch of the updated Alturas takes place merely days after the company commenced the bookings for the updated XUV500 and Scorpio.
