Mahindra KUV100

Mahindra KUV100. 2016 to date (prod. n/a). 5-door SUV. F/F, 1198 cm³ petrol, 1198 cm³ diesel (I3 DOHC). Unusual subcompact SUV, and Mahindra’s answer to the Suzuki Swift (ZC3). Mahindra’s second model with a monocoque. Plenty of model variations, with petrol and diesel triples. Very driveable and roomy, with a 1,715 mm width and 135 mm taller than the Swift. Interior quality and dynamics leave something to be desired, and not that refined. Non-independent rear suspension and drum brakes at rear; even airbags were not standard across the range.

Manufacturing location: Chakan, Maharashtra, India

Marque: Mahindra
