The standard model and a Karoo Edition also join the line-up with rear or four-wheel drive, adding four models in total to the Pik Up range.
Says Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa: “Since launching the S11 Automatic and S11 Automatic Karoo models, the demand for our new automatic transmission has far outstripped supply. We are proud to have been able to add the same gearbox to the S6 range to not only alleviate some of the pent-up demand but to extend this lifestyle-friendly transmission to a greater number of buyers.”
mHawk Diesel Power
All four new additions to the double-cab range are fitted with the same engine and automatic gearbox, which was developed by Mahindra globally with significant input and testing from Mahindra in South Africa.
Power is delivered by the mHawk turbo-diesel engine with common rail injection and delivers 103 kW at 3 750 r/min and 320 Nm from 1 500 r/min.
In the automatic models, the fuel consumption is stated as 9,3 l/100 km in a combined cycle.
Standard features carried over from the S6 manual model include front fog lamps, the 1 095 kg payload for the 4x2 double cab model (995 kg for the 4x4) and anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD). Four-wheel drive models are also fitted with a knob-selector for a quick shift between 2H and 4H modes and to low-range.
Inside the cabin features include air-conditioning, an audio system with a USB and auxiliary port, cruise control, central locking and power windows and mirrors. All auto models also have Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) as standard.
Mahindra has also added charging points to both the front and rear of the cabin, auto-locking doors, two crash bags for the driver and front passenger and ISOFIX seat anchors for the safe fitment of child seats.
Karoo Edition
Karoo models receive a nudge bar, a rear styling bar instead of the bolted-on cab protector and a tonneau cover. The Karoo models further feature colour-coded rear wheel arch mouldings and rain deflectors fitted to the doors.
