Plastic tailgate is being used by many luxury segment cars too and isn't something new.
Mahindra never compromise on safety, prices are introductory prices for 5 seater and this vehicle is supposed to get 5 star Ncap Rating soon it will come... Torsion stiffness of BIW is 19.8KN.m/deg, and bending stiffness is 12.5kN/mm.. excessively used HSS and UHSS material.... don't worry it is not a m***ti dabba.. it is New Mahindra..
Management kept the price too low so that this time they can play by volume not by profit margin, (which is a marketing strategy of Maruti from long time)... M&M used to do reverse - more profit margin low volume.
Compromise made on profit margin... Not on safety, standard and test DVPs of the vehicle... Never forget this is kind of dream Car of Anand Mahindra for Indians... Huge engineering hrs and testing is done for this to optimise the cost with no deviation on safety and customer expectations.
Why doubt something just because it is cheap or reasonably priced?
But we Indians have problem if something is little cheaper we always doubt quality and if is little costlier we complaint about its price and don't buy it... So this time marketing strategy is changed not the safety standards and DVP's we need to pass... Which mahindra never compromised..hope it willl clear ur doubts.
Dear in xuv7OO we have complete plastic liftgate,
Plastic means don't think it's a regular plastic and it is not cheaper first of all, we need to make a big tool for manufacturing of plastic liftgate...this is to reduce the weight and getting complex shapes manufactured easier .. every OEM wants to reduce the weight of vehicle to get more mileage... Mahindra has spent alot to have plastic lift gate... Which you able to see in very luxury vehicles... Note that stiffness and strength is not compromised... Strength can be achieved by making a good engineering design which we did already....... Hope u got ur answer.... just search on YouTube/Google platic liftgate you will get lots of lot information...
This is USP but as indian people has not seen it they are thinking to make cheaper this was done but this is not the truth....many sports cars are made of carbon fibers...McLaren Senna, 2011 Corvette Z06,McLaren Speedtail,Lexus LFA,Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro used alot of carbon fibers, roofs front and rear made of carbon fibres
