The big launch from Mahindra & Mahindra is its new flagship SUV codenamed 'Y400' that will be hitting the showrooms on November 19, 2018. The Mahindra Y400 is rumoured to be called the 'Inferno' upon launch and will be taking on the likes of the Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour among others in the segment. Barring the previous generation SsangYong Rexton, this is an all-new segment for Mahindra, and the Y400 will be its most expensive offering yet. The SUV is essentially a reworked version of the new generation SsangYong G4 Rexton that we've driven and has been tweaked to meet Indian conditions and sensibilities. Power on the new Y400 will come from the 2.2-litre four-cylinder, turbo diesel engine tuned for 187 bhp. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual and an automatic too. Mahindra is all set to add the premium quotient at its dealerships too for the seven-seater Y400 including a designated area, lounge section, digital display of details and a dedicated manager for each customer. Prices are expected to be aggressive for the Mahindra Y400, in the vicinity of Rs. 20-25 lakh (ex-showroom).
