Legender only model in segment to get 4x4 system and manual gearbox
Considering the manual version of the Legender 4x4 is priced at Rs 46.36 lakh, it is priced Rs 1.73 lakh lower than the automatic gearbox version, which costs Rs 48.09 lakh. The Legender’s price point puts it in contention with other large seven-seat diesel SUVs like the MG Gloster (Rs 39.57 lakh-44.03 lakh) and the Jeep Meridian (Rs 24.99 lakh-38.79 lakh), though neither gets a 4x4 system with a manual gearbox.
