Mahindra NuvoSport has currently no fixed launch date for its petrol variants to be launched in India. Mahindra may develop a 1500 cc petrol engine specifically for TUV300, NuvoSport and other cars to be launched in the compact SUV segment. The shifting nature of Indian customers to petrol engines have made it mandatory for many car makers who were earlier famous for their diesel engines. Maruti, Mahindra and Tata cars are now selling good numbers in petrol variants as those who drive less are happy spending around INR 1,20,000 less on petrol engines while the price gap between petrol and diesel has also gone down by a considerable margin.
