This is the Sonalika EVO. Uniquely designed by Pininfarina!

That's right, you found it! Strictly speaking, the car marque of the Sonalika group is ICML (International Cars and Motors Ltd.), but the Sonalika name is more recognised in India due to the popularity of their farm equipment. The EVO design for a modern SUV to expand the ICML range beyond the Rhino/Extreme, was commissioned to Pininfarina in 2008, but finally investors found it a risky proposition and decided to stop the project, meaning that this full scale model, which is all that remains of it, was never officially presented to the public, but now sits at the Sonalika HQ building in Punjab.

(There was a double connection with Mahindra, of course, in that not only do they share the same nationality, but that Pininfarina now belongs to the Mahindra group)
