BREAKING: Mahindra Centuro Launched at 45000/- INR Ex-Showroom Delhi

We are here at the gorgeous Pink City to witness a new entrant as it unfolds itself; a new entrant to one of the toughest segments in Motown. Ravaged by surging fuel prices as well as a balooning inflation, this segment has many old, established satraps which will make every move tough for this new entrant. Pricing will be the cornerstone of the success for this new entrant; it already has set the ball in the court of the older, established ones by boasting of some innovative, never-really-found-in-this-segment features.

  • Centuro returns an ARAI certified Fuel Efficiency figures of 85.4kmpl.
  • Centuro is definitely beefy-looking with those Mojo-inspired Torso-tubes but it is not bulky at all; 111 kgs is all it weighs.

Unique features of the Mahindra Centuro :-

Mahindra Two Wheelers Limited definitely calls the shots when it comes to introducing nifty-yet-ground breaking features. After all, it was the Mahindra Rodeo that boasted of a segment-first, fully-digitised console.

With the Centuro, Mahindra seems to carry off from exactly where they left the Rodeo at. In fact, they have upped the ante!! Here’s a list of what you will are assured of if you bet your money on the Mahindra Centuro :-

  • Central Locking Anti-Theft System
  • Engine Immobiliser

  • Find Me Lamps
  • Guide Lamps
  • Full-Digital Console

These features are definitely never-really-heard-of in this segment, and it definitely lends the new entrant Centuro a lot of maneuvering space when it comes to battling it out with the old satraps who have a vice-like grip on this segment.

Moolah Matters : The Pricing of the Mahindra Centuro

As we had stressed upon earlier, Mahindra Centuro does undoubtedly carry some really high stakes in the form of a dominant styling as well quite a few useful trinkets. However, it still has that tag of a Rookie hanging from its neck; it is an untested bike!!

To fend off the threats from the old timers, Mahindra Two-Wheelers had to price this product aggressively. We are delighted to inform you that Mahindra has announced a price tag of 45000 /- INR (Ex-Showroom Delhi) for the Mahindra Centuro!!

So, are heading over to the nearest Mahindra Showroom??

We have already ridden the bike and will be sharing its first ride review shortly! Keep tuned
