Since its introduction, it has witnessed immense customer demand, primarily owing to its numerous segment-leading features and functionalities typically found in vehicles from a higher segment. This premium appeal has attracted customers seeking an elevated driving experience. There are class-leading safety features on offer including ADAS too.

Looking at the condition of the vehicle, the front and side sections are affected. In fact, the vehicle is lying on the road on its side. Thankfully, the side pillars absorbed most of the impact and kept the occupants relatively safer. One could see the cabin intact. That is a testament to the build quality of the vehicle. However, what is concerning is the fact that the airbags didn’t open. While we can’t say anything for sure until full information is available to us. But these things should not happen. We hope that Mahindra will look into this matter and diagnose the issue.
