Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd has launched the BS 6 variant of Alfa, its flagship 3-wheeler brand. The Alfa brand is known to be the most fuel efficient in its category and offers a range of passenger & cargo variants with 4 offerings catering to varied customer segments.
The Alfa has gone over significant makeover in its BS6 avatar and offers 37% higher displacement, 16% higher power and 12% higher torque over its BS4 version. With 9.4 hp power and 23.5 Nm torque, Alfa offers improved pickup and better pulling power on slopes.
It offers a mileage of 28.9 kmpl in passenger and 29.4 kmpl in load variant. According to Veejay Nakra, CEO – Automotive Division, M&M Ltd. “…There has been some delay in launching our BS6 range of 3 wheelers, given the supply chain disruptions due to Covid-19. With all of that behind us and the onset of festive season, we see good demand in both load and passenger segments and we are gearing up our production accordingly to meet this demand. With these launches we are confident to regain our spot amongst the top 3 players in the 3-wheeler segment.”
With its completely new powertrain and water-cooled engine the Alfa has undergone significant testing both on and off field, clocking over 4 lakh kms. Mahindra also aims to enrich the lives of its 3-wheeler customers through Uday Program which offers benefits such as accidental death insurance cover of Rs. 10 lacs, child education scholarship & referral benefits on service etc.
The decade and a half old Mahindra Alfa comes with two variants each in Passenger and Load segments. In the passenger segment, Alfa Dx is the base variant and Alfa Comfy has added benefits - car like suspension and wider sofa type comfortable seats. In load segment, the two variants are Alfa Load and Alfa Plus with deck length and payload of 5.2 ft & 470 kg and 5.7 ft & 520 kg respectively.
