A mechanical locking differential or MMT in Mahindra-speak, is good to bail you out of tricky situations by providing more traction when engaged. A difference of 100 rpm between the rear wheels is all it takes for the system to be engaged automatically. Other features between the N10 and the N10 (O) stay the same, which are - LED daytime running lights, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, electronic ORVMs and so on.
