The budget-friendly Mahindra Pik-Up has been refreshed, with the 2020 model receiving a new front grille among a number of updates.
In addition to that more aggressive front-end, the Pik-Up’s lighting set-up has been updated with the model gaining static bending projection headlamps, daylight-running LEDs, and a new fog light assembly.
However, there’s also been a slight price hike, with both the Single Cab 4×4 S6+ and Dual Cab 4×4 S10+ rising by $1,000.
Mahindra also launched an all-new, factory-backed Pastoral Pack for its Single-Cab S6+ 4×4, said to be targeted at rural, trade and fleet buyers. The Pastoral Pack comprises a winch-compatible steel bullbar, bash plate, side brush rails, a snorkel, tow bar, canvas seat covers and a vinyl floor.
The Pik-Up comes with an aluminium tray as standard, though options with heavy duty aluminium, galvanised steel and colour coded galvanised steel are available and vary state by state.
The S6+ now features standard cruise control, Bluetooth phone connection an upgraded fabric seats including arm rests and drivers’ side height adjustment.
The S10+ features upgraded 18cm touch screen with high resolution reverse camera and satellite navigation as standard.
The range remains powered by the 2.2-litre, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, capable of generating 103kW and 320Nm, and it continues to run a six-speed manual transmission, Dana Spicer axles, and an Eaton self-locking diff.
Sitting on a heavy-duty ladder frame chassis, the Pik-Up maintains a 2,500kg towing capacity and a 34-degree approach angle.
The 2020 Pik-Up comes with a five-year, 100,000km limited warranty.
