About The Mahindra Pik Up S6 Refresh Single-Cab Models In SA
Mahindra South Africa updated the S6-badged Pik Up single-cab bakkie - here’s how it’s different
.
.
As before, the S6 slots in above the "workhorse" S4 Mahindra single cab models and below the broader double-cab range, and is again offered in 4×2 or 4×4 guise.
.
So, what’s new? Well, the single-cab S6 adopts the design changes that debuted on the S11 automatic-equipped double-cab bakkie and has since also trickled down to the S10 double-cab models.
.
The most obvious change is the revised grille, which is flanked by redesigned headlamps now fitted with clear indicator lenses and orange indicator bulbs. The S6 also features a reworked front bumper, complete with integrated foglamps and new chrome detailing.
.
The Indian firm says it has furthermore redesigned the S6’s styling bar (which is bolted onto the load bay) for "added rigidity and improved tie-down capabilities". Mahindra has also added an electric locking mechanism to the fuel cap, which allows for remote opening.
.
Inside, the S6 gains electric adjustment for the side mirrors, one-touch lane-change indicators, and cruise control. These single-cab variants furthermore receive an upgraded seat design, complete with armrests for both occupants and height adjustment for the driver.
.
Finally, the key fob has been replaced with a flip key with an integrated remote.
.
Mahindra says all S6 models boasts standard items such as rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlamps, a start-stop system, an audio system, dual airbags, central locking, ABS, and air conditioning.
.
Under the bonnet, nothing’s changed, which means the S6 range is still powered by Mahindra’s 2,2-litre mHawk turbodiesel engine, delivering 103 kW at 3 750 r/min and 320 N.m from 1 500 to 2 800 r/min.
.
A four-year/120 000 km warranty and a five-year/90 000 km service plan are again included, the latter with 20 000 km intervals (after the initial 10 000 km lubrication service, that is).
