Mahindra recently launched the KUV100 which promises to give its owner an unbeatable combination of aggressive styling, spacious interior with flexi six or five-seater options, peppy performance, accessible technology and excellent safety.
The new KUV100 is tough and rugged on the outside, refined and inviting on the inside and offers the SUV life you’ve always dreamt of.
The exterior features a sculpted bonnet, muscular body and dynamic sharp lines with dual-tone front and rear bumpers. It also has unique sunglass-like headlamps with daytime running lights with ergonomically high-placed rear door handles. The KUV100 features stylish roof rails, sporty rear spoiler and double-barrel tail lamps with chrome accents on the front and rear fog lights for some added finesse.
When it comes to the interior the KUV100 has a stylish dashboard with tiltable electric power steering, sculpted steering wheel with bolsters, joystick-like sporty gearshift, twin-pod instrument cluster and diamond shaped outer vents. The infotainment system with driver information system provides the driver with all necessary vehicle info while Bluetooth audio and hands-free calling add to the comfort features on offer.
The sporty seats with integrated headrests and see-through bezel offer a supportive seating position while ample headroom, elbowroom and legroom are available. A 243 litre boot space ensures enough cargo room.
Under the hood a diesel or petrol engine are available. The engines offer Micro Hybrid Technology, Eco mode and excellent fuel efficiency. The D75 diesel is willing to give the driver 25,3 km per litre named as India’s most fuel efficient diesel SUV. The petrol engine is also a fuel safer offering 18,1 km per litre. The diesel and petrol engines offer 57 kW and 61 kW with 190 Nm and 115 Nm respectively.
On the safety side Mahindra did not compromise. Dual airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), ISOFIX mounts for child seat on rear seat with child safety locks on rear doors, automatic hazard lights on panic braking, dual rear fog lamps, engine immobiliser and security alarm, anti-slip clips for driver seat floor mat and robust monocoque construction for superior ride and handling are among the many safety features of the KUV100.
