Mahindra Alturas G4

Exterior Review

Up-front, there's the signature Mahindra grille that gives it a rather bold stance. Alongside the SUV, there are sharp lines that run across the doors and highlight the wheel arches as well. The rear looks neat, although that Alturas badging at the rear is a little too large. There are also two creases on the bonnet that give it a strong definition. The shapely headlamps, however, look pretty modern; so, do the high-set LED DRLs in the bumper. By and large, we found the design to be neat, but not striking enough.

Variants Review

The Mahindra Alturas G4 variants are as follows: 2WD AT and 4WD AT. Features include ventilated front seats, heated ORVMs, a 360-degree camera with sensors, electrically-adjustable seats with memory function, smart tailgate, LED DRLs, HID headlamps, third-row AC vents and smart key. On the safety front, it gets 9 airbags, ABS, EBD, autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning system.

Interior Review

The cabin feels rather classy – right from the dashboard to the seats and upholstery. The horizontally-split dashboard gives the SUV a specious feel. The quality, fit-and-finish is at par with some cars above its segment, and the soft-touch dashboard with a quilted leather finish feels plush. Space is aplenty in the first two rows, while the third row could've been better. The seats are well bolstered and offer ample cushioning, while there is enough boot space to swallow in a couple of small suit cases.

Engine Specifications & Performance Review

The Mahindra Alturas G4 is powered by a 2.2-litre, diesel engine that makes 178bhp and 420Nm of torque. Paired to the motor is a 7-speed automatic transmission. Surprisingly, the diesel engine is quiet and offers adequate grunt. The motor's character is best suited for the city and highway cruising, and shifting gears is a seamless affair. The Alturas performs reasonably well, given its heft. There's quite a bit of body roll when pushed around corners, but the SUV still feels confident at high speeds. The steering weighs up nicely, and as far as ride quality is concerned, the Alturas glides over bumps without any fuss. Even off the road, the Alturas performs pretty well.

Mileage Review

The Mahindra Alturas G4 2WD has an ARAI-certified fuel efficiency figure of 12.35 km/l while the mileage of the Mahindra Alturas G4 four-wheel drive model is rated at 12.05 km/l.
