KUV 100 real value for money -Mini SUV-ready to flaunt

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.
