Mahindra has continuously been denying the reports about working on any small car, but this image says something else. The vehicle was caught out lying in the open with the camouflage slightly removed. The vehicle is Mahindra’s new compact sub-four meter vehicle. The vehicle looks mostly like a spiced up version of an hatchback. The vehicle which is also known as S101 to the insiders will be joining two more compact offerings from the house of Mahindra. The other two cars in the sub-four meter segment are Quanto and soon to be launched Verito Vibe.

Skoda is all geared up to pull out Fabia from the Indian market. Fabia was the only hatchback offered by the company in India. However, Skoda is yet to finish the assembling to the Fabia and clear the inventory.
