Following the Australian launch, Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) is ready to kick-start the production of ‘Pik-up’ for the US market by year end. Sales is likely to commence by February next year.
“We will start production of Mahindra ‘Pik-up’ utility vehicle by December this year for the US and by end-February next year, the vehicle will be sold there (in the US),” Mahindra and Mahindra President (Automotive sector) Pawan Goenka said.
M&M has recently gained profits of Rs 400.85 crore in the first quarter of 2009, which is a giant leap against Rs 159.30 crore in the same quarter last year.
The “muscular” Scorpio looks does not pertain only to the Scorpio anymore. Mahindra has launched the 2009 edition of the Pik-Up (Scorpio Getaway) in Australia with the saw tooth and essential safety features.
The cosmetic changes see a new front bumper design, headlight and foglamp housings, bonnet scoop and pull-type door handles from the new Scorpio.
In the cabin, better suited seats, longer seatbelts, new electrically-adjustable rear-view mirrors and stereo which is MP3-compatible with USB and SD card inputs debut. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls are now a standard feature on the Pik-Up.
