Mahinder KUV100 long drive result

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.
