It's a Car, It's a Min ಐ SUV, No It's KUV100

I bought a KUV100 K2 petrol Variant. I have bought the car May-19-2017 from Srieesh Auto Bangalore and been using the car since then. As far car design is really good and good control/pick-up. My car, getting out-side foul smell while AC is on and has rattling noise heard from inside at low speed, which is bad. At high speeds, the car goes smooth. The major problem is mileage where as I am getting only 10 km/ltr, which was informed to the dealer and it was told to me after 1st service it will get rectified. I travel nearly 50-55km every day. I bought this car seeing all reviews on multiple web sites, and took a decision thinking Mahindra had taken a bold decision to trust Indian Engineers and also can resolve these issues. As many customer has complained of mileage issues, and some customers also said it got rectified, keeping that I decided to go for kuv100 k2. While giving for 1st service it was intimated to service centre of Srieesh auto Marthahalli Bangalore, about mileage, foul smell entering in and few other problems too and they said they require the car to be left for 2 day to rectify all issues. But in 2 days I had to spend nearly Rs.2000 for commuting by ola/uber taxies. But I was in the impression that all problems gets rectified, but it was in wain. But after 1st service, mileage has not changed, it remained with 10km/ltr on city, I had followed all instructions of driving as they had said, as this is not my 1st car and I have been driving the cars past 25 years, earlier I had Maruti Alto and it was 8 year old vehicle and I was getting 17km/ltr as an average full tank to full tank. But whereas other Alto car owners and service centres was claiming you cannot get more then 14-15km/ltr. I am telling Mahindra to know that I knew how drive. Foul smell they said they need to remove dash board but, even that was not rectified. And there are other problems which are also not rectified. The problem in the car can be rectified if Mahindra has given proper training to its service engineers and proper quality assurance people in the plant, i know this is totally irresponsibility of quality personal who have not checked the car before it is out from plant. Quality is not just 6sixma or any certificate quality courses pass out, it need to come from heart to see that we Indians are not making fools of our own brothers/ sisters. Nevertheless, the car looks good, the drive is also good. The gear shift is also very smooth and useful. But that is it. The windscreen also takes a lot of glare in the night which makes the driving at late hours uncomfortable. Headlights are also not focused well. I will recommend this car provided Mahindra puts a proper quality output and speedy action for rectifying the issues, by giving proper training and responsible.

I bought it last year on 10/04/2016 and till now I am very very happy with this Mahindra product. It's look will beat other cars of same price range on upcoming years also. Writing few pros and cons over here - Pros : Dominating look. Good ground clearance. Stable in high speed too. Using dashboard joystick like gear is fun. 3 people sitting space in front. AC cooling is impressive. Cons : Diesel model gives 16km/h mileage in city. Company claims 25km/h. Driver seat space is less than required. Mahindra after sales service sucks. (Faizabad U.P.)

Well to be honest i did a research on every model possible within my budget i came across maruti suzuki swift, ford figo, datsun go and kuv100. Swift's price went above my head. Vxi model doesn't have ABS and airbags and the price is whooping 6.5 lkhs i mean seriously??? For the next one we went to ford showroom. The moment we entered we came across shoutings and verbal abuses between a customer and a manager. The customer told us not to go for ford cars as they bought a fiesta but since three months unable to get papers of the vehicle. Datsun go is a nice car. Unfortunately the service station is not available in my area. So eventually opted for KUV100. I am not a rich guy who can afford k8 model within my budget we could afford only k4+ features(airbags,ABS,central lock, power windows).5.80 lkhs inclusive of taxes. People complained of vibration but i couldn't notice. The body is rock hard feel of an suv when you drive. Lots of ample space, and an uncommon design which gives a feel of SUV, went to few long drives and it was smooth as butter. The roads had potholes and quite rough but the suspension was quite comfortable. Horn was a bit meek but after tuning a bit now it's much better and the mileage is not that good compared to the competetors. Mine gives 18 on highways and 14 in city with A.C. I am satisfied with my vehicle. The showroom guys were nice they helped us in the best way possible. Guys there are pros and cons in every vehicle and each car is designed to meet demands for each customer. So just check what your needs are and dont follow maruti just because everyone is buying it. Of course they do have great mileage but then there are other better options available drive safely and all the best for car hunt

Each car needs to meet certain requirements and definitely the KUV100 fulfil it. A Premium car should have superior craftsmanship to attract customers, a good engine capacity for great performance and have lots of storage space to score high on practicality. This is all fulfilled by the KUV100. The Mahindra automobile industry always have tricks up their sleeve to expand the their customer base.The latest entrant KUV100,an SUV that want a share of hatchback market.The Kool Utility Vehicle(KUV) is mahindra's newest and the most compact passenger they have ever made. INTERIORS- Interior is smart and offer good fit and finish.grey dash and door feature silver as well as piano black inserts.Dashboard is smart and split in two sections.The design is simple but striking.The steering wheel is chunky and made well to get a superior grip.The KUV100 is surprisingly spacious vehicle in this size.The centre seat of back seat folds up and act as a armrest for passenger and provide two cup holder.the entire passenger seat folds and gives access storage compartmentThe 3.5 inch music display system could do with an overhaul but it fits in the floating dashboard perfectly. I wish to check with Mahindra if there are any aftermarket options available for the infotainment system, preferably an Apple CarPlay system that I can install at a later date.The cooled glove compartment is a fancy addition which doesn't serve much purpose practically. The sunglass holder on the top near the car night lamp is a cool addition too. EXTERIOR- Parking sensors & reverse cameras are another point of concern seeing as they are not available even in the top end K8 model and have to be installed aftermarket. Exteriors:- The exteriors impress you quite a lot. The design looks more stylish and premium.The LED lights also give you a clearer view at night. The pillar mounted rear door handels are similar to chevrolet beat.Top variant alloy wheels as standards.The rear end is quite smart with rectangular tail lamp.the lower section of bumper isnot colored giving it a dual tone appearence.The bumper is equipped with fog light.The front track is wider than other cars which gives the vehicle ythe added appearence. SAFETY- You are in safe hands if you are travelling in the KUV100 as you have almost all the safety features such as ABS, EBD and BA. KUV get an amazing airbag system which is available only in the higher models. Drive Quality and Performance- Start your engine and enjoy a very smooth and comfortable ride. The engine is quite silent and delivers a good amount of power. The ride quality over bumpy road surfaces is a very smooth glide.17 kmpl is delivered in the city roads and about 20 kmpl in the highway in the both fuel options.which does not fit well in the character. My Conclusion:- In my opinion, The KUV100 is an awesome and kool product, which Mahindra India has brought out, which captures all elements for a car in hatchback and suv.Overall it is an amazingly made car from Mahindra that might cause some creases in the hatchback cotegory.

This is the best family car in the budget of less than 6 lakh in diesel i will list both the pros and cons as per my experience with the car pros. 1.This has best in class cabin space in the segment best suitable for family even of five adults or 4 adults and 2 kids . 2. Legroom for both front and rear is luxurious you can travel a long distance without getting tired . 3.Dash board durable and classy as the top part is grey and is convenient to utilize the black piano on the front gives it the edge of being a premium car. 4.The height of car gives enough head room for a 6 ft tall person also to drive comfortably . 5. Air conditioning is super cool and you dont get that complain from rear guy of not getting the effect of air conditioner on back seat even without rear vents and driver and co passenger are also not compromised . 6.Biggest king size arm rest cum mini bar in front due to the 6th seat feature you dont get it more luxurious even in luxury sedans. 7.Sixth seat the most talked about feature is very much useful when you have that need to adjust that one little passenger going with family on marriages and relatives . 8. ABS EBD as basic feature in all model makes it perfect for safe driving on highways so safety first has been kept well in mind by the company 9. Choice of adding Air bag in all models with a Fees of 30000 Rs can be termed as flexibility in safety as with increasing speeds on highways now a days it becomes a necessity 10.Space management in terms of extra spaces for storage and management of hand brake 11. Extremely comfortable Gear console and its positioning with hand rest it makes you sit back and enjoy long tedious rides in a comfortable way 12. Great after sales service quality of mahindra . 13. Suv looks give a sense of satisfaction to family person looking for value for money as well as style. 14. Dispaly of gear car is driven in front meter is good for new drivers comfort. Cons 1.Single din audio option in k4 and below models lead to sub standard dash board after music system installation 2.No tray in trunk in lower model although not that important but it wouldnt have cost much to the company. 3. Smaller trunk room compare to class although trunk room is a rarely used feature and does not add much value 4. Some more length could have made it more attractive it seems like designer suddenly wrapped it as they were getting late on their schedule. 5 Low mileage before first service this is a vary negative shortcoming as it lead to bad word of mouth publicity in initial phase leading to rejection in comparison to competition . verdict- value for money feature loaded spacious family car kudos to mahindra for coming with so much of innovation in their first small car and petrol car.

Very nice car good shape, good interiors and modern look. its within budget of an average level. for the standard model the the back seat cannot be fold for extending the dicky space. attractive thing is mileage for diesel, its nice and its Indian all the way. the base model is affordable for the ordinary level. but no stereo no power windows like that many issues are there. still the power steering and Air conditioners there in the standard model, it can be adjustable. for the back seat the leg space is comparatively little. dicky space also not enough as I mentioned the the back seat cannot fold for adjusting the space and its not having a sporty look and finishing as like that of the new maruti susuki ignis this is big default and also the painting finish is also not enough also for the base model the color varients are limited but for the higher models more color variants provided. but to a first time buyer this OK. This car is having the shape of reduced xylo or some thing like that, dash board and steering mount are nice also this is 6 seater this a little advantageous for sitting space.
