It is no secret to anyone that Ford and Mahindra are working together to develop new products for their line-ups. Both the companies are all set to introduce their mid-size SUVs in the B-SUV segment to rival against the likes of Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. As per the reports which surfaced online, the upcoming Mahindra XUV400 will be based on Ford's VX-722 platform.
Under the joint venture, Ford and Mahindra will be co-developing their new products and as of now, reports suggest that the upcoming B-SUV is being developed by Ford while the C-SUV is being worked upon by Mahindra. The XUV400 is expected to be assembled at Ford's Sanand plant and will be powered by 1.5-L diesel and petrol engines.
