Mahindra Inferno is likely to be the name for the G4 Rexton based Y400 premium SUV which was earlier speculated to be called as the Mahindra XUV 700.
Mahindra is going to launch an all-new premium SUV of the 19th of October this year. As you must be aware, that this product is based on the G4 SsangYong Rexton. Currently, Mahindra has codenamed it at the Y400. However, since the very beginning, there have been speculations that the production version will be named as the Mahindra XUV 700 (Read More).
However, it seems that this is not the case. Mahindra, contrary to our expectations, is not going to use an alphanumeric name for its flagship SUV. According to recent developments, it seems that the Rexton based premium SUV is likely to be called as the Mahindra Inferno.
According to a trademark website, the name Mahindra Inferno was registered in Maharastra through the Mumbai IP office in July 2018. That said, these are speculations and the final name of this upcoming SUV will come to light once the company officially reveals it.
