About

The Mahindra Quanto Diesel C4 is a compact SUV derived from the Mahindra Xylo, designed to capitalize on the tax benefits of being a sub-4 meter vehicle. It features a 1.5-liter diesel engine producing 100 bhp and 240 Nm of torque, paired with a manual transmission. The vehicle offers a good exterior design, although the interior space is a mixed bag the front seats are comfortable with ample legroom, but the rear seats lack comfort and recline functionality. The Quanto C4 boasts a large boot space, which is one of its strong points, along with its silent suspension and higher seating position. It is suitable for those who prioritize front-seat comfort, boot space, and a robust diesel engine, but may not be ideal for families needing comfortable seating for all passengers. The vehicles reliability and low maintenance costs are additional positives, making it a viable option in the compact SUV segment.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mahindra Quanto Diesel C4 is a mixed bag when it comes to overall performance and user experience. On the positive side, it boasts a powerful 1.5-liter diesel engine that delivers 100 bhp and 240 Nm of torque, making it capable of handling both city and highway driving with ease. The engines linear power delivery after the initial turbo lag is commendable, and the gearing is well-spaced, which is beneficial for mileage-oriented driving. However, the rear seat comfort is a significant letdown, with hard and straight seats that do not recline, making long drives uncomfortable for rear passengers. Additionally, the AC power is reported to be low, and some users have experienced issues with the mileage, which falls short of the claimed 17.21 kmpl. Despite these drawbacks, the Quanto C4 offers good boot space, a silent suspension, and a higher seating position that enhances visibility. Overall, it is a good option for those prioritizing front-seat comfort and boot space but may not be the best choice for those needing comfortable rear seating.

Price

The Mahindra Quanto Diesel C4, although discontinued, was priced around Rs. 7.56 lakh ex-showroom when it was available. The on-road price would have been slightly higher, typically ranging from Rs. 8.5 lakh to Rs. 9 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. From a pricing perspective, the Quanto C4 was positioned competitively in the sub-4 meter SUV segment, benefiting from tax exemptions that reduced its cost. However, the actual on-road price varied based on additional costs such as registration, insurance, and any customizations or accessories added. Given its features and performance, the Quanto C4 was considered a value-for-money option in its segment, especially for those looking for a diesel variant with decent mileage and ample space.

Thursday, 03 March 2016 06:04 AM Mahindra had planned to introduce a petrol engine in the facelifted version of the Quanto, now known as the Nuvosport, due to the increasing focus on petrol engines following diesel engine bans in some cities.

Wednesday, 05 February 2014 02:33 PM Mahindra had showcased an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) version of the Quanto at the 2014 Auto Expo, but it never made it to the market for the C4 variant. This would have been a welcome addition to enhance the driving experience.

Saturday, 29 September 2012 08:00 PM The Quanto Diesel C4 had a mileage of 17.21 kmpl, making it a fuel-efficient option in its segment. This was a significant selling point, especially for those looking for a practical and economical vehicle.

Mileage

Thursday, 21 November 2024 06:32 AM The Mahindra Quanto Diesel C4 is claimed to offer a mileage of 17.21 kmpl, but real-world experiences suggest it averages around 12-14 kmpl. This discrepancy can be attributed to driving conditions and personal driving styles. For users concerned about mileage and running costs, the Quanto C4 still offers a respectable fuel economy, especially considering its diesel engine and the typical Indian driving conditions. However, its crucial to factor in the actual usage and driving habits to get a more accurate estimate of the mileage.
