Styling boost for Mahindra Pik Up Double Cab range
The S6 and S10 top-selling models are the last to receive the bold and aggressive new front-end design, with its wide, seven-slat grille, large, chromed Mahindra logo, clear headlamps, and round fog lights in a redesigned lower bumper. The grille was first seen on the S11 Automatic, which was introduced earlier this year and has since found its way to the upgraded Mahindra Scorpio. This bumper design, with its integrated round fog lights, was also recently added to the range-topping S6 single cab.
The new grille allows for a more distinctive differentiation between the specification levels. The S6 in both single and double cab models feature silver painted highlights on the grille and round fog light surrounds. On S10 and S11 Automatic models, these same highlights are in chrome. The new clear headlamps and side indicators are now standard across the range.
