మహీంద్రా kuv100 [2016-2017] వినియోగదారుల రివ్యూలు

This Kuv 100 k8 5 STR is value for money car. Fuel economy is great. Great capacity . New features Great sensors Nice navigation system. Nice interior. Good power. Very good car.

Exterior design is really really good and definitely a head turner

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) - Interior is good but can be improved. Buttons seems to be plasicky --need improvement.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - Gearbox is very smooth though I had not expected it!! ESS is good option and engine is really smooth. Car easily goes over bad roads without jerks and is too smooth compared to Maruti Swift.

 

Ride Quality & Handling - Ride quality is very good and handling is also commendable. But few improvements needed to match Swift and i20.

 

Final Words - this is really a cool car!!! Head Turner for sure!!! with good performance, space

 

Areas of improvement  If the length of the car is slightly increased then the looks will be very nice and add to more boot space. Tyres are small and 16" would really look better. Improvement in colour qulity and interior needed. AMT option should in future would make it the best!!!

Fantastic car.i have driven it for 13k kms . Milage in city is not that good but for long journeys it's more than 15km for petrol variant.smooth handling,great space,suv stylings.it feels like you are driving an suv.sitting stance is very comfortable , specially for front seat.far far batter then swift and other competitors

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.

After a regular usage of this car, i am writing this review. In first look and ride we could not judge everything. Being a user of car for a long time you will come to know good/bad aspects of a car.

Exterior

The front of the car has very aggressive styling. But in my point of view the styling is over done in many of the areas. Being a very small in car in its segment (in terms of length), Mahindra has given lot of style curves to the body. When I look both front and rear separately it looks ok. But it has poor overall design when look as a complete car.

 Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

One good point is mahindra has done good job of managing interior space well to provide good storage locations. The rear boot space looks higher only on paper, But in real while keep using I felt the space and dimension of luggage compartment is not adequate. It is also very similar to Beat. You cant even keep a big suitcase. Rear seat also suffers interms of space for 3 peoples, it is common in most of the hatchbacks, But still comparing to old Figo,i20 it is a problem.

The car lacks in many features with  latest models, even top end modesl dont have keyless entry,No automatic AC control,No touch screen for audio,no express up/down for powoer windowsetc., The plastic quality also is not at par with other models.

The dashboard look/design is not attractive when I go on day to day usage.
The driver seat and co-driver seat is comfortable. It is good that at least we have height adjustment. But Mahindra also did same mistake what datsun GO did, There is no real very good reason/usage of six seater. I never had a sixth person in my car.Also it is dangerous to have sixth person in front row. Since it reduce my driving comfort also there is no safety.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The new petrol engine has very good power and pulling capacity in highways and hilly areas. But i think it is not tuned well to adopt, I am getting very poor mileage even in highways. Hardly ~10kmpl😢.  The gear shift/handling also I feel hard compared to my previous car (Figo). Since still Mahindra made this a very rough type since it is an UV.

 

Ride Quality & Handling

The power steering is not adopting well at high speeds, I am still not getting good confident at high speeds. Being tall boy design and short wheel base I feel danger at high speeds. luckly Mahindra offered ABS in all models. I think this is the reason.

Final Words

In present market condition we have very good other models at the same price with lots of features with proven design.

Areas of improvement  

Engine performance, features, handling etc.,

 

1. Good idea of space utilization in given small dimension. 2. Good ground clearance1. Very poor fuel economy. 2. Very awkward design of interiors. 3. Bad final quality

Exterior Over all design is very appealing. High front bonet gives a sense of safety and confidence.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Amble space for 6 people. recently had a trip to nainital with 4 adult and 4 children and was very comfortable. Convertable arm rest is very good added feature.

Infortainment system (blue sense) is really awesome and easy to operate. sound quality is very good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Grip on road is awesome and performace on hill (nainital) is very good. With full load (4 adult and 4 childern) i could run upto the speed of 115km/h.

Ride Quality & Handling Steering wheel is bit heavy but that gives a sense of control over the car. Height adjustable seat gives a clear road view.

Final Words I brought the beast on 21 may and ride appx 2500km.

For someone who is looking forward for a car with amble space and comfort, this is best option and it comes with ABS and airbag as added safety features. Take a test drive, you will love it.

Areas of improvement Boot space.

Gear style and its positioning. height adjustable seat. leg space, arm rest, driving comfortboot space is adequate but might need more for long drive

I bought a KUV100 in January 2017. The car is totally worth it, amazing power and pickup even at low rpms , and very stable and gives a smooth drive experience. There's vibration in first gear, that's the issue with Mahindra vehicles. This car has got some flawless looks, and is definitely an eye catcher with its bold front and stylish headlamps, and a sexy back, but time is a little small for the side frame. Mileage is fine around 17-18 on Highway without AC and 12-13 in city traffic and AC. Kuv100 is worth every penny and much more spacious and good looking compared to its counterparts.

1. Buying experience Its very helpful and given promotions with all available feature in various features. I prefer to buy K2+ as safety concern.

2. Riding experience When I took test drive, its fantastic. Gear shift noise is smooth. Suspension was superb, there were 4people in car. Recently I took out for a long nonstop drive for 12 hours from chennai to hyderabad. I found few problems noted:

A. Milage very poor, hardly 13km/litre driving @ 120-140km/hr.

B. When accelerating continuously, it will fall back automatically and to regain speed, remove the foot and press again.

C. Brake is not applying and press immediately at HUMPS and sound comes when jump happens.

D. Brake noise when press.

3. Details about looks, performance etc.

A. Wow look as the front look like Range Rover. Body colour paint quality not upto mark as when rub with other surface, easily damage. Black surface comes out easily. I had chevrolet beat, when there happen to be scratch, colour doesn't goes easily. Performance on milage is poor. Engine noise is like diesel car. Sound like luggage auto when drive at 120km/hr. At high speed we prefer to hear songs and drive, but with this car no such enjoyment. Right side and left side view is good, I can avoid collisions easily. Interior design is not properly designed.

B. Cup and window closer are collided B. No reachable holder for speck or glove and to keep any pen or paper accessories.

C. Front seat level is not at same height . If front passengers seat pull front, the hand brake lever got struck.

D. Rear view mirror is not fixed properly, its like hanging from roof and making noise, when drive on uneven surface.

E. Wind shield isn't cut at perfect size, at high speed above 60km/hrs vibration start due to air.

4. Servicing and maintenance Since i have given for first service, no comment but they came and pick up free of charge.

5. Pros and Cons:

Pros: Dashing look, colour is ok but little look dullness, at high speed, vehicle not shaking. Suspension is good. Due to more ground clearance, its nice to drive at odds road. boots size us big to keep anything.

Cons: Mileage not upto mark as per given by manufacturer. Engine noise is heavy at high speed, no enjoyment of ride. Wind shield size not match perfectly and air enter and creat vibrations noise.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I bought this car 13march 2016 the first thing i like this vehicle by its SUV look and ABS is standard for all variants. The interior is spacious and its comfortable for 3 persons in the 2nd row.

My problem is facing braking issue since the car was delivered to me. Whenever i applied the brake, the brake pedal got stuck and it does not release. I contacted particular service center they simply said they can change brake spring and it will be ready but still now my problem was not solved.

I have put it in service center for 5 times for the same braking problem. But the authorized persons do not take it as serious and they are irresponsible. Each and every time i made a call to them asking about the status.

Final Words : 

 Very worst experience.

Areas of improvement  

 Try to understand the customers problem and solve it. Mahindra please appointed qualified and trained technician.
