Mahindra Jeeto Minivan Launched at INR 3.45 Lakh

It is Mahindra’s take on what a low cost shared mobility vehicle should be like!

Homegrown auto giant Mahindra today launched the all new Jeeto Minivan at INR 3.45 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai). To get its innings started in the Indian market, the company has launched the diesel variant with a semi hard top configuration. In a few months’ time this variant will be joined by other trims including petrol- and CNG-powered engines and a choice of hard top configuration as well.

As per the manufacturer, the Jeeto Minivan is best suited for urban and semi-urban transportation modes and will also cater to last mile connectivity, contract and stage carriage for tour/travel and intra-city people movement. The diesel-powered Jeeto Minivan is powered by a single-cylinder 625cc engine that produces 16PS/38Nm and is coupled a 4-speed manual gearbox. The company claims a class-leading fuel efficiency of 26kmpl and the van comes with 2 years/40,000km of warranty as standard. Customers can also opt for extended warranty packages and annual maintenance contracts (AMCs).

Since it is targeted as a people carrier, the Jeeto Minivan comes with wide opening doors, a bench seat at the back, a 12V power socket and a best-in-class step-in height of 448mm. As far as safety is concerned, it comes with disc brakes at the front with drums at the rear, ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor) seat belts, a monocoque integrated chassis and a windshield demister. Other features include a lockable glovebox, dual-tone seat upholstery, class-leading headroom and legroom, dual stage coil springs for a comfier ride and a low fuel indicator with visual and sound warning.

What’s more, the Jeeto Minivan also enjoys benefits of Mahindra’s Uday cover plan. While there is discount on spare parts and labour charges at all the authorized Mahindra commercial vehicle dealerships, customers will also get free accidental insurance cover of INR 10 lakh.

At this price, the Mahindra Jeeto Minivan is INR 25,000 more expensive than its direct rival, the Tata Iris. However, the company is confident that due to lesser maintenance cost, a frugal engine, more powerful performance and a hassle-free ownership experience, a Jeeto Minivan customer can earn up to Rs 1 lakh more than the Iris customer over a period of 2 years.

Interested customers can choose from three colour options for the Jeeto Minivan - Sunrise Red, Ultramarine Blue and Diamond White.
