Exterior I like the styling. So no issues with that.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lots of space. We are a family of five and all are adults. I am 5'11" and my son is over 6' tall and there is adequate headroom and we do not feel claustrophobic. Enough legroom at the back too. Three people at the back can fit in comfortably. The KUV100 is wide!! It is 5.59". It is wider than Ford Ambiente (5.56').
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is great. Powerful! I have the petrol variant so it is not noisy. I have not yet tested the fuel economy so no feedback on that. Gearbox is a dream. It is so easy to have the gears where it is.
Ride Quality & Handling The ride is good. It is able to handle rough sopts as well as easily climb slopes/bridges etc.
Final Words I wanted a car that was compact (12') but still large enough for a family of five big built people. KUV100 has delivered beyond expectations. It is powerful, smooth, and comfortable. I was also looking for a tall car. Getting in and out is very comfortable.
Areas of improvement The plastic of the steering wheel is not suitable. My palm slips when handling it and I do not feel that I have a grip. I needed to put on a steering wheel cover before I felt in control. The flip side is that the steering wheel has now become thicker!! Next, If you fit a flash drive on to the USB slot of the stereo system or an AUX cable to the stereo system, when engaging gears three and five, the hand tends to collide with the flash drive or AUX cable that is jutting out of the stereo system.
Height of the car. Comfort, Power, Gear placementMaterial used for steering wheel is not suitable. Palm slips.
