Described as the Twin Peaks logo by the Mahinda Global Design Team, the updated corporate identity embodies the company’s willingness to change and embrace a new world order with new-age products that have been designed to deliver a new-age ownership experience.

This contemporary update is to usher in a growing network of dealers ahead of an array of new products which are scheduled to arrive in the coming months. Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa stated: “In the coming months customers will see a complete rejuvenation of our approach and several exciting new additions to our range of authentic SUVs and lifestyle bakkies.”

Considering the Indian automaker has been in our midst for 18 years with 75 000 units sold during this time and a dealer network expanding into other sub-Saharan countries, Gupta further stated “Our new logo is more than just a visual change. It heralds a new growth phase for Mahindra in South Africa.”

Sachin Arolkar, Head of International Operations for the Mahindra Automotive Division stated: “The visual overhaul of our identity will be done in a phased manner across our nameplates of SUV and lifestyle bakkies, and across all the virtual and physical touchpoints where our customers interact with us.” 

The all-new XUV700 will be the first model to be adorned with the twin-peaks logo followed shortly thereafter by the Scorpio-N, two SUVs which the Mahindra rebranding hopes to “Unleash the Explorer in You”.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
