Mahindra KUV100 [2016-2017] User Reviews

Exterior: It has great side looks like mini XUV 500 and pulls all heads on the roads to look ur car.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Excellent Bluetooth and Infotainment but could have been bigger screen though. Perhaps the space is better than swizt and I10 and much comfortable to the current scenario released cars. Front seat which is for 3rd person where my 4 years old son can fit but not for adult but really cool :) Overall it is good in features, space and comfort. 😎

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: There is a vibration while starting engine and also bit sad when I hear more sound compared to swift and I10 (Petrol Variants) plzz don compare with diesel and I'm talking about only Petrol engine here Mfalcon G80. Fuel is too bad for my car in the city which is giving 11km/pl - 12km/pl (AC on) and in highways it is givng 14km - 15 km perlitre. But the problem is shifting 5th gear to reverse gear at times is getting lag 😢and we need to adjust out cluctch to realease it. Remaining is all fine with this car 😊

 

Ride Quality & Handling: Quality is awesome and you feel great while driving on the raods and mood light is awesome near the door lock during night driving. Handling is much better than swift and I10.

 

Final Words: Overall the car is awesome and best in the segment with stylish look.

 

Areas of improvement  : Mileage for Petrol cars and engine noise/vibration.

 

 

Space and comfort is commendalble. Last not but not least is stylish front goggle model head lightMileage inside the city

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Fuel economy nod good as expected..I am getting only 13-14 for diesel.26 is the milage offered...Company says it will improve at 10000 km

 

The KUV is built around a monocoque chassis with a transverse mounted engine powering the front wheels. The KUV gets two engine options – the petrol mFalcon G80 and the diesel mFalcon D75. The 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine develops 82bhp of power at 5500rpm and 114Nm of torque while the 1.2-turbocharged litre diesel 3-cylinder engine will deliver 77bhp of power at 3725rpm and 190Nm of torque. Both the engines will be mated to a five-speed transmission and may get an AMT option in future. The G80 engine is a micro-hybrid with start-stop technology while the diesel D75 gets driving modes like Eco and Power.

Exterior

• The car is attractive overrall, looks aggressive from the front.

 .......................................................................................................................

Spacious, comfortable seating, ample leg room,Fuel efficiency

Exterior Superb design like mini SUV, stylish car to flaunt with easy on pocket. M-Falcon engine symbol at side of headlamps like eagle looks very nice & sporty.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Large seats at the back, although bench type but speciaous & the best thing is that this car dont have a tunnel humb at the back seat floor, which is in most of the hatchback poses a proble to person sitting at middle at the back row. amazing storage spaces, bright white cabin light, door handle (inside )light, sunglass storage, Steering mounted audio controls, bluesense technology, many more...... in such a fair price. unable top find all these features packed in any other car at such a price. also Mahindra being a SUV market leader, this mini SUV (or Improved hatchback) will prove a trendsetter in the segment!

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 1200 CC petrol engine with 3 cylindersFrown, (Mahindra guys had planned to do all the things unique in this vehicle, but it could have been more better if they could have spared the engine). anyways, the engine performance is good with 2000-2500 RPM, beyond 2500 RPM it gives a rusty, cragged sound , but even some people like it. Fule Economy is the next thing to worry (Not for car lovers like me, but for Maruti lovers who always ask 'Kitna deti hai' Money Mouth) I have KUV 100-K6+ petrol , had an mileage of 15 km/ltr on Mumbai to Nashik on very first ride. Gearbox is a real surprise, its like playing a vedio game with joystick. (I experienced that the for Gear shifting full clutch need to be applied, otherwise it makes it uneasy for gear shifting, i heard KUV owners complaining about gear lock at 4th or 5th position, this may be due to insufficient clutch press. 5 speed gear box wih reverse gear.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is good, it has typical Mahindra style suspensions, you may feel like riding in a boat on humps & bad roads but you will not get jerks. handelling is good, steering is quite tight, needs efforts but stable .

Final Words A great deal! if you need something diffrent than very simple & most common hatchbacks. Good features with easy on pocket.

Areas of improvement Very nice small SUV, (or big hatchback)- Segment needs to be defined clearly.

Tyres could have been 1 size up, sub4 mtr advantage could have taken to increase length slightly, making it more attractive than Quirky, rear glass is small, Hand brake arrangement is bad, but can compromise for 6 seater arrangement. 1200 CC with 4 cylinders could have been a good package.

Design, cost, 6 seater, safety featuresHand brake, wheelsize, 3 cylinder engine with noise at high RPM

Exterior It looks great from outside. Like a heavy HULK look model. Cas weight is heaviour than other brands of same specifications.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good but it should be more spacious.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is fowerfull but as said by the dealers mileage is not satisfactory. It is only 11 KMPL whereas Other company cars give 16 KMPL and above in 1198 CC engine.

Ride Quality & Handling Very Impressive Ride Hight and good handling.

Final Words It is a luxury car with midium budget capacity. But be ready for Filling of Petrol as luxury charges.

Areas of improvement Fuel Economy. Space management, AMT gear Facility.

I have bought the car in dec 16 and since now It war running app 6500 Km Already i Habe done !st servicing but still it is giving on 11 KMPL mileage, it is same when you drive in Highway also. But overall it is acceptable when you see the Car running on Road it feels luxurious from inside.

Good Exterior, Comfort level is good, and smooth handlingLow mileage (11 KMPL) less space in back. Interior is not so excellent.
