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.

FuelSmart Technology - For Savings, Performance, & Versatility

Truck owners struggle to achieve profitability due to the following reasons:

1. Diesel prices constantly rising, and
2. Varying service conditions—heavy loads over flat roads, heavy loads over steep inclines, and light/zero loads.

How To Tackle The Problem

Price rise is countered by making engines more and more efficient, while varying service conditions call for the ability to switch three different engines in and out of the same truck on the fly!

Mahindra To The Rescue

Guess what? Both challenges have been addressed by Mahindra’s range of specially designed heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), which use CRDe technology with electronically controlled diesel fuel injection. The combination of fuel economy and versatility in handling service conditions ensures profitability.

How CRDe Works

CRDe has an electronic control unit as a “brain”, which gets information about RPM, rail pressure, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and accelerator pedal from sensors. The engine’s mPOWER FuelSmart multi-mode switch reconfigures the engine for service conditions on the fly, adding life and performance to it.

Mahindra's 7.2 L FuelSmart engine has immense reserve capacity and is backed by 10 years of CRDe expertise. It delivers better mileage without the loss of power, pickup, or pulling ability—all with cleaner emissions, to keep you running for years.

Efficiency Innovation

The FuelSmart engine is one-of-its-kind in frugal fuel consumption. Its high fuel economy along with high performance with a high-pressure common-rail fuel injection system.

The Heavy-duty FuelSmart engines also feature the following innovations:

·         Unique individual cylinder head design lowers maintenance and repair costs

·         Modular cylinder head gasket for low replacement cost and ease of service

·         Wet liner design for minimum replacement cost

·         A water pump driven by the engine gear train instead of the belt, allowing trouble-free operation while also lowering chances of belt failure

·         Enhances vehicular capability to handle Dynamic road and load conditions

·         Optimised for Varied Duty cycles

3 BLAZO X 31 Can Get You a New BLAZO X 31 totally free in 5 Years!

Mahindra BLAZO X 31 saves rupees at a rate that would get you a BLAZO X 31 trucks free in 5 years. Enabled by Mahindra’s first-mover advantage on the latest technologies, the BLAZO X range of HCV trucks has smashed the ceiling on savings, amidst the current fuel price hike and uncertain Freight rates.

Lowest Maintenance & Total Cost of Operation (TCO)

BLAZO X 31 has the lowest TCO across the segment. Its scheduled 30,000 km maintenance requires a change in only the DCU filter, whereas competitors’ trucks also need changes in dampener kit and air oil separator. Maintenance cost for 3,60,000 km or 4 years is Rs.14, 640 for X 31, whereas it is between Rs. 60, 225 and 90,000 for the competition. BLAZO X 31 also has the lowest diesel exhaust fluid consumption  (i.e., AdBlue), 30% less than the competition. The three-bellow lift axle provides a ground clearance of 190/130 mm, compared to the competition’s 180/120 mm; this minimizes vehicle damage and saves the cost of adding leaf springs or modifying the suspension.

Power & Displacement

The best-in-class Mahindra mPower FuelSmart engine, with the largest displacement in the segment—7.2 litres that delivers 274 HP highest in the HCV segment. This, together with the FuelSmart technology, ‘Turbo’, ‘Heavy’, and ‘Light’ multi-mode switches, ensures more reserve power, greater engine life, and the best fluid efficiency in the segment. The truck also clocks more trips at a lower cost and has faster turnaround time.

Fuel Efficiency

Competitors’ trucks need 550 litres in a month, owners pay for 580 litres, while a BLAZO X 31 needs only 510 litres. This puts money directly into the fleet owner’s pockets from the get-go and reduces the effort of negotiating with drivers on price.

Industry-first Savings Packages from Mahindra

BLAZO X 31 offers a guaranteed mileage, lowest in class oil drain intervals and lowest lubricant prices, Smart SCR Airless technology for added savings towards ADBlue consumption and an industry-first
6 years/6 lakh kms transferable warranty for the most hassle-free owner experience in its class.
