The most costly SUV ever to be built by Mahindra, Alturas G4 will be launched on November 24. Codenamed Y400, Alturas G4 is one of the most anticipated vehicles in the Indian car market. It will be positioned as a luxury SUV and compete with other SUVs that cost more than Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom). This price range includes the likes of Toyota Fortuner and Honda CR-V. Mahindra is yet to reveal all details, but we do have some key info about Alturas G4, which is given below.
No one got the name right: Everyone was expecting that Mahindra will name Y400 as XUV700, as per its standard naming convention. However, Mahindra sprung up a surprise by giving an entirely new name to Y400. Alturas means height or pinnacle, which seems quite apt, as Mahindra will be seeking to create new benchmarks and achieve new milestones with Alturas G4.
