We’ve dug up pricing for the new Mahindra Pik Up S6 Karoo single cab, which is available in both 4×2 and 4×4 configurations. Here’s how much they cost in SA…

The Mahindra Pik Up – which is assembled in KwaZulu-Natal – has made 5th place on the monthly list of South Africa’s best-selling bakkies very much its own. And now the Indian manufacturer’s local division has quietly expanded the range, adding a pair of fresh Karoo single-cab derivatives.

Of course, the Karoo nameplate is by no means new to Mahindra’s Pik Up line-up in Mzansi, having been applied to various double-cab derivatives over the past 5 or so years (including special-edition bakkies featuring suffixes such as Dusk, Dawn, Storm and Dew). However, this is the first time the Karoo badge has used on the single-cab body style.

So, what do we know about the new 2-door Karoo variants? Well, there’s the choice of either 4×2 or 4×4 configurations, with urge provided by Mahindra’s familiar 2.2-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine in each case. As a reminder, this motor generates 103 kW and 320 Nm, peak outputs that are delivered via a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard.

The Karoo badge is familiar from the double-cab Pik Up range.

According to our information, the Pik Up S6 Karoo 4×2 single cab is priced at R402499, while the S6 Karoo 4×4 version comes in at R440499. By our maths, that translates to a premium (over the standard 2-door S6) of R68000 in the case of the 4×2 model and R67000 in the case of the 4×4 variant.

The new single-cab Karoo models are set apart from the standard S6 derivatives by what Mahindra describes as a “limited-edition” Sand Dune exterior paintjob, along with obligatory “Karoo” decals on the lower parts of the doors. In line with the double-cab derivatives of the same name, the package also includes a Karoo-branded nudge bar and a sports bar, each of which is finished in black, along with a tonneau cover (enclosing a load bay we suspect is rubberised).

Since we’ve thus far been able to unearth just a single image of the special-edition bakkie’s exterior (which further suggests it scores 2-tone alloy wheels), it’s not entirely clear what sort of upgrades have been implemented in the cabin. However, we have it on good authority the Karoo derivatives gain a rear-view camera, at the very least.

We’ll update this article once we know more about tweaks made to the cabin…
