The Mahindra Alturas G4 will be offered in two variants - 2WD AT and 4WD AT with additional features. Both versions will draw power from the 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine that is likely to churn out about 183 bhp. We also know that the SUV will be offered in four colour options - New Pearl White, Napoli Black, Lakeside Brown, and Dsat Silver - All of which will be available on both trims.

The Mahindra Alturas will compete in a segment with SUVs in the range of Rs. 25-35 lakh (ex-showroom), and an aggressive pricing is expected on the model. With only the automatic variant on offer, prices can be expected to start around the Rs. 25 lakh (ex-showroom) mark, which will still mean it will undercut most of its competition.
