Mahindra Atom Production-Ready Model Spied Ahead Of India Launch: Pics & Details

Ahead of its launch, the Mahindra Atom quadricycle has been spied revealing few of the features and details. The latest set of spy images from Motorbeam reveals a completely camouflaged test mule.

Based on the spy images, the test mule seems to be a near-production-ready model of the upcoming Atom quadricycle in the country. The test mule spied features a spare wheel mounted inside the cabin. It also features steel wheels as opposed to the alloy wheels on the model showcased at the Expo.

The spy images also reveal the interiors of the production-ready model. The test mule features a basic interior layout and could be of a base-spec variant. It continues to feature air-con vents, a flat-bottom type steering wheel, a rotatory gear dial placed on the dashboard along with a 12-volt socket, and a round-shaped instrument console; among others.

However, the test mule seems to be missing the large touchscreen display that was fitted to the prototype model showcased at the Auto Expo. The screen is aimed towards rear-passenger entertainment. It could be fitted as an add-on accessory to the electric quadricycle at the time of launch.

The Mahindra Atom is looking to cater to the growing demand for electric vehicles in the country. It will serve as an alternative to the existing three-wheelers, offering enhanced safety, weather protection at similar running costs.

The Mahindra Atom will be assembled at the company's plant in Bengaluru, where all the low voltage models in the brand's line-up are produced. Although the company did not reveal the exact specifications of the Atom at the time of unveiling, we expect it to produce a power output of less than 15kW with an electronically-limited top speed of 70kmph.

Once launched, the Atom Electric will rival the only other upcoming Bajaj Qute electric quadricycle in the Indian market. The Atom was expected to go on sale in the third quarter of this year. However, the launch has been delayed due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in the country.
