BS-VI Ready Mahindra CRUZIO – Experience A New Dimension of Luxury

Comfort for you and your Business

The newly launched Mahindra CRUZIO premium passenger bus is a perfect package of performance, comfort, style and efficiency that is designed to exceed expectations of fleet owners, drivers and your passengers on every parameter.

Experience Unmatched Ride Comfort

It’s time to bid goodbye to bumpy bus rides! With CRUZIO, bus journeys are set to get supremely comfortable and luxurious.The parabolic suspension ensures better handling and shock absorption even on bad roads to deliver unmatched ride comfort.

Ergonomically designed contoured seats provide full back support thereby reducing driver fatigue and passenger discomfort especially on long routes. The spacious interior of the Mahindra CRUZIO is fitted with thoughtfully designed seats with maximum seat width, so passengers can sit back comfortably without rubbing shoulders with fellow passengers.

Low noise and vibration levels results in a quieter cabin, providing much needed calm and a peaceful ride during daily work commutes. 

Experience Operational Comfort Along With Greater Profits

Built on the latest Intermediate Commercial Vehicles (ICV) platform, CRUZIO is a Long Platform Overhang (LPO) bus– a segment of passenger buses that is becoming more and more popular as it offers an enhanced travel and ownership experience. 

Being an LPO enables the bus to have an optimum front overhang and this extra front length is useful in protecting the nose from taking a hit on pothole-ridden rough roads. Another advantage of being an LPO is optimum space utilisation. In the CRUZIO, the door is at the front overhang portion and not on the wheelbase. This allows the full uninterrupted length of the bus to be used for accommodating seats. Therefore, the Mahindra CRUZIO has higher seating capacity and can carry more passengers per trip compared to conventional buses.

The CRUZIO is a BS-VI ready vehicle so it is fully equipped to meet the new emission norms that are expected to come into place from April 2020. This means increased roadworthiness and longer fleet life resulting in greater return on your investment.

Mahindra’s FuelSmart technology provides class-leading fuel-economy to register higher profits and more growth for your business. Higher clutch diameter helps increase the life span of the clutch, while the large wide modern front fascia of the CRUZIO is very easy to clean and repair.

All put together it translates into reduced maintenance costs and increased operational efficiency when you own the Mahindra CRUZIO. So you can sit back and enjoy the profits with total peace of mind.

Experience Uncompromising Safety Features

When it comes to safety, Mahindra CRUZIO ups the bar with significant latest technology features such as driver-controlled door and the bus not moving until the door is closed, thereby helping to reduce the chances of an accident.

Another thoughtful safety feature in the CRUZIO is the height of the first step being optimised for easy access during entry and exit.

Tubeless tyres, driver voice alert, reversing camera, tyre pressure measuring system and improved day and night visibility for the driver due to a large wide windscreen, rearview mirrors, projector headlamps and fog lamps help make every journey in the Mahindra CRUZIO uncompromising on safety and comfort.

From the safety point of view, the Mahindra CRUZIO conforms to Rollover Test norms as per AIS 031 and the BUS Body code as per AIS 052 along with the latest AIS 153 requirements in terms of noise and vibration standards.

Experience A New Level of Driving Comfort

Driver comfort in the Mahindra CRUZIO has been greatly enhanced and optimised with a spacious, airy and well-lit front compartment. The ergonomic design of the driver cockpit provides a very comfortable and convenient work area with good seating position, ease of access to all controls and best frontal, side and rearview.  

Another added driver comfort is the clutch booster so that operating the clutch requires considerably less effort, making driving a truly comfortable and pleasant experience.

When it comes to driving performance, the CRUZIO gets Mahindra’s proven CRDe engine which enables it to generate greater power of 140 hp @ 2400 rpm with a torque of 525 Nm @1250-1800 rpm for better pickup.

With the new-age Mahindra CRUZIO it is time to give your bus fleet, business and profits a premium new makeover as it definitely ‘makes every journey luxurious’. Investing in the Mahindra CRUZIO today will prove to be a wise and profitable business decision for the long-term.
