The Mahindra Imperio has been conceptualised and developed at the Mahindra Research Valley in Chennai and will be manufactured in the company's Chakan plant. The Mahindra Imperio microsite has been launched already, and the count down timer to its launch is ticking.

Engine, Gearbox, And Specification

The Mahindra Imperio will be powered by a 2.5-litre, mDI CRDe four-cylinder diesel engine that will produce 75bhp and 220Nm of peak torque. The engine will come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

The Mahindra Imperio will have a payload capacity of 1,100kg, and will weigh 2,930kg.

Competition

Once launched, the Mahindra Imperio LCV will compete against the Isuzu D-Max pickup and the Tata Xenon pickup in the Indian market.

The Mahindra Imperio will be the company's fourth LCv launch in 8 months. Mahindra had previously launched the Jeeto, followed by the Supro Van and Supro Maxi Truck.
