Mahindra has been working on a upgrade for the Maxximo for quite sometime. The company recently introduced the Jeeto LCV in seven variants to take on the last mile delivery leader Tata Ace.
With the segment further intensifying with new launches such as the Tata Ace Mega, Eicher Polaris Multix and upcoming Maruti’s Super Carry, Mahindra is working on an upgrade for Maxximo LCV.
The Maxximo caught testing will get a new face, a new grille and graphics to increase its appeal. The powerful and fuel efficient engine could be further tuned to return higher fuel efficiency.
As per our sources, the Maxximo could be offered in a higher tonnage with payload of upto 1 ton. This new variant will help to take on the new Tata Ace Mega head-on and also extend the product range to complement the Mahindra Maxx pick-up truck.
