Mahindra Genio now in dropside models

When it comes to working harder than expected, the new Mahindra Genio Dropside comes handy as it now offers a drop-side bin with folding side and tailgates making loading heavy or big cargo much easier and hassle-free.
The Genio was born with ideas to take any business places, more than a modern transport solution. The aerodynamic bodied Genio with a wide and large corrugated cargo box and a carrying capacity of 1 200 kg, was designed from the ground up on smart ideas, ideas that revolutionise cargo transportation. With a quality ride making work like play and play like work, the Genio is aesthetically pleasing and impactful. It is available as a double cab as well as single cab variants which include the Chassis Cab, Dropside, Flatbed and Maxivan.
A plush interior was designed for a premium feel for both driver and passengers alike. With a car-like ride and interior featuring a stylish instrument cluster with trip meter you will be surprised that it‘s actually a bakkie. The double cab features Digital Drive Assist System (DDAS) to help you stay updated on everything from current speed, temperature, humidity and fuel consumption. The 2-DIN Audio System supporting MP3, CD and SD cards and even USB drives are standard on all derivatives.
The Genio is equipped with great ideas to maximise comfort such as super-comfortable, semi-bucket seats with front-back adjustment and recliner features. Power steering and smooth comfortable car-like gearshift ensure a smooth ride while a wider windscreen and bigger doors provide for convenient entry and exit. Boasting one of the most spacious cabins in its segment, the Mahindra Genio works and plays in style and comfort, making travelling in its spacious cabin a truly business-class experience.
With Mahindra’s proven and reliable mHawk 2,2 litre four cylinder Common Rail Diesel Engine, you can move any load quickly, driving the rear wheels through a five-speed gearbox. It gives you a best-in-class 88 kW of power and 290 Nm of torque. The engine offers lower maintenance and running costs with frugal fuel consumption of only 7,9 litres per 100km.
The Mahindra Genio is equipped with superior brakes with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) for better and safer braking, as well as the key located crumple zones which absorb most of the impact in the event of a collision. The unyielding steel bars in the doors minimise impact from the sides making this package a very safe one indeed. For total peace of mind, the Mahindra Genio comes standard with a 3 Year/100 000 km warranty.
