Engine Type:
Likely a turbocharged direct-injection diesel engine. Common Mahindra engines in this era include variations of the mHawk series. Specific displacement and configuration would depend on the exact Genio SC variant.
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 100-140 HP range for this class of LCV, depending on engine displacement and tuning.
Torque Range:
Expected torque figures would be substantial, in the 250-300 Nm range, for hauling and utility.
Fuel Delivery:
Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDi)
Common Engine Codes:
While specific codes are not provided, likely related to Mahindra's mHawk diesel engine family (e.g., mHawk75, mHawk100 depending on variant).
Infotainment System:
Basic infotainment systems common in LCVs, likely including a radio, CD/MP3 player, and possibly Bluetooth connectivity depending on trim level.
Driver Assistance Features:
Limited driver assistance features expected in this segment, focusing on core safety and functionality.
Connectivity Options:
USB ports, auxiliary input, and Bluetooth may be available.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, but refer to manual for specific interval.
Air Filter Replacement:
Recommended at 20,000-30,000 km, or more frequently in dusty conditions.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically 40,000-50,000 km, critical for diesel engines.
Engine Oil Specification:
Likely API CI-4 or API CJ-4 compliant diesel engine oil, viscosity grade typically 15W-40. Manual confirmation required.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with appropriate corrosion inhibitors. Specific type and mix ratio to be confirmed in the manual.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Manual transmission fluid (MTF) meeting API GL-4 or GL-5 specifications, viscosity grade dependent on ambient temperature (e.g., 75W-90).
Common Potential Issues:
As with many LCVs, potential issues could include clutch wear, suspension component wear due to load, and occasional electrical gremlins if not maintained properly. Diesel engine specific issues like injector clogging or turbocharger wear could also occur if fuel quality is poor or maintenance is neglected.
Mahindra History:
Mahindra & Mahindra is a leading Indian multinational automotive manufacturing corporation, renowned for its utility vehicles, tractors, and motorcycles.
Genio Lineage:
The Genio is part of Mahindra's range of utility vehicles, often built on a ladder-frame chassis for durability and load-carrying capacity. It represents Mahindra's approach to the light commercial vehicle market.
Manufacturing Location:
Primarily manufactured in India.
