I am writing this review after 1 year of purchase petrol KUV100 K4+ variant. Vehicle build quality is good and is in par with international brands except low grade plastics used in very few interior areas. Since it is a three cylinder engine, it vibrates a lot if you release the clutch without throttle. Torque is good so city driving is smooth, pickup in high gear low speed is not good when compared with same segment cars. Mileage is very bad with AC, hardly touches 12km/L city conditions. without AC, if you driving is economical, you can touch 14 in city. I was expecting more mileage as the engine was a new breed and use latest technologies like the other brands, but very much disappointed with mileage. You can only fit single din car receiver, I don’t why Mahindra engineers failed to give this basic option, because of this you have purchase screen separately and fix.
Stability - you will tilt the direction you turn the vehicle if you steer in the turning little fast, this is because of the height of the vehicle, but the vehicle doesn’t tilt when u see from outside.
Getting accessories is another big challenge, you will get them only in showroom that too by pre-ordering, they wont even have it display so you don’t even know how the quality will be.
Comfort - Suspension is little hard, not as smooth as etios(my previous car), swift i20. May be its positioned as mini SUV, the suspensions are meant to be hard to handle off-road terrains.
Now the worst thing, Mahindra is going to launch update model with some tweaks in engine power to increase the mileage and performance with AC, so the buyers like me who bought the car in the initial stage are a*s. This is very bad in the part of Mahindra.
If you are keen about mileage, then this is not car for you. If you want looks, presence and space, then go for it.
