Mahindra introduced the mHawk diesel engine in 2007, starting with the iconic Scorpio. It was designed as a modern upgrade to older diesel engines—quieter, more fuel-efficient, and cleaner—while still delivering the low-end torque that Mahindra vehicles are famous for.
Over time, the mHawk family has expanded to power everything from the rugged Thar to the urban-friendly XUV300 and hardworking Pik Up, many of which you can explore at CMH Mahindra Clearwater.
