Verdict & Price
The Mahindra Gusto, in many ways, is a step-up from competition. The engine meets all the requirements of daily chores while the well-tuned suspension clubbed with the smartly designed and well padded saddle provides a comfortable city ride. The quick storage behind the speedometer is a good addition and we found it very handy while riding the Gusto. There is a scope for improvement in terms of underseat storage space and overall finesse in design, but those aspect, most definitely are not deal breakers. Features like an adjustable ride height, seat flip mechanism, convenient position of kick, guide-me-home lamps, flip key and quick storage are nifty additions to the package.
Mahindra have priced the scooter aggressively at Rs 43,000 (Base DX variant) and Rs 47,000 (VX variant). The pricing, going by the long list of features is extremely aggressive – making the Gusto worth taking a test ride before making any buying decisions in the entry level scooter segment.
