Mahindra South Africa is celebrating with the launch of a Pik Up S6 Single Cab. What are they celebrating? The reopening of its dealer network. This vehicle is coming with several upgrades to the luxury features and some design elements too, mostly in the grille. Let’s go see what this new Mahindra has to offer.
“The upgraded S6 single cab is one of the first models to benefit from our internal working group. In this group, we are looking at ways to further improve our reputation for producing the Reliable and Capable yet Affordable vehicles that Mahindra has become known for.” – Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa.
An updated look for this Mahindra Pik Up S6.
In terms of design, the big, seven-slot grille with chrome highlights is the standout point and it does look great on this bakkie. Flaking it are new automatic self-levelling headlamps that come with clear indicator senses. A little lower down, the front bumper has been reworked to house fog lamps with some more chrome details.
The styling bar has been looked at again and updated with a redesign and added rigidity. This will improve the tie-down capabilities. Two more features on the outside are remotely unlockable fuel cap and rain-sensing wipers. Both nice ease of life improvements.
Even more, ease of life features inside.
From the moment of entering this Pik Up S6, you will notice Mahindra included more adjustable seats with a redesign. This will be a big help in accommodating people of different heights. Next feature you will see is the electric rear-view mirror and air conditioning which now comes standard.
Some more ease of life features come in the form of one-touch lane change indicators and an audio system with auxiliary port, USB and Bluetooth connectivity. In terms of safety, there are dual front airbags too.
What is this Pik Up S6 capable of?
Equipped with a 2.2-litre mHawk turbocharged diesel engine, this Mahindra Pik Up single cab S6 gives 103 and 320 Nm. This goes right to the option of all-wheel drive or two-wheel drive each proving themselves in in last year’s WesBank Fuel Economy Tour.
