Mahindra says after the hardwork of 4years they come out with KUV-100.Its a very compact SUV. But not a full featured compact SUV but definitely an affordable mini SUV just for indian customers.Well in a first look definitely it has a very agressive styling in great color combinations which will definitely be a good choice for youngsters.
In the safety department it has ABS with EBD and equiped with dual optional airbags.
In the enterior part it has Daytime Running Lamps, chilled glove-box, steering mounted controls.The dashboard along with the instrument clusture with leather and wood finishing makes it more premium.It has adjustable driver seat, Key-less entry, Power and Eco driving modes, More it feels like WagonR, .
Talking about the exterior it looks bold, sporty and more appealing on road.After XUV500 it is mahindra`s second product with new monocoque chassis.It has Follow-me-home headlamps, Chrome inserts on the grille, Electrically adjustable wing mirrors .Well in some point it looks like a rescaled squeezed SUV.The rear integrated spoiler and fog lamp add more to the back.The milege for diesle variant is 25.18kmpl
Downside.
The wheels and tyres doesnt looks like that appealing for a car called to be SUV.For this it will lack better grip during high cornering. The rear side doesnt have very great design and yes the rear wiper could be upper mounted to look better.Doesnt more feel like a SUV.
As the name KUV-KOOL UTILITY VEHICLE, yes the time it has some better contents it also misses but over all it is a cool car to have.
Its rivals are Hyundai GRand i10 & MS Ignis
Considering the price it is one of the best youngster should look forward to.
