Mahindra’s rough and ready Pik-Up has been modestly tweaked for 2020, while also gaining a Pastoral Pack aimed at its rural base.

    The 2020 Pik-Up is distinguished visually from last year’s model through a new grille, LED daytime running lights, and projector headlights with cornering lights.

    Previously, only the S10 had LED daytime running lights.

    More upgrades can be found in the cabin. The S6 becomes the S6+ and picks up many of the features previously available only on the range-topping model, such as cruise control, Bluetooth phone connectivity, and height adjustment for the driver’s seat.

    S6+ might sound like a smartphone, but you won’t find any infotainment system or much in the way of in-car tech.

    In the up-spec S10+ (formerly known as S10), however, the standard touchscreen infotainment system has grown from 6.0 inches to 7.0 inches. It also has satellite navigation.

    The new Pastoral Pack is available on the Single Cab S6+. It basically adds all the Pik-Up’s optional factory accessories, including a steel bull bar, bash plate, snorkel and a tow bar. Inside, there’s vinyl flooring and canvas seat covers. 

    Mahindra has confirmed there’ll be only four models at first: the S6+ Single Cab in either 4×2 or 4×4 guise, the S6+ Single Cab 4×4 Pastoral Pack, and the S10+ Dual Cab 4×4. 

    That means last year’s base model S6 Dual Cab and mHawk appearance package are gone, at least for now.

    Safety

    When the Pik-Up was tested by ANCAP in 2012, it received a rating of three stars.

    That rating was based on a frontal offset score of 6.60 out of 16 and a side impact score of 16 out of 16. Pedestrian protection was rated poor, while whiplash protection wasn’t tested.

    All 2020 Mahindra Pik-Up models come standard with dual airbags and anti-lock brakes. There’s no active safety technology like autonomous emergency braking, however.
