Mahindra plans to launch
a facelifted Mahindra KUV100 this year. IAB reader Gautham spotted a 2017
Mahindra KUV100 with new bumpers testing near Chennai last week.
The latest spy shots show that the new Mahindra
KUV100 will feature new bumpers, reworked headlamps with new graphics and new
alloy wheels on the outside. M&M has confirmed a touchscreen infotainment
that runs Android Auto within a year on the KUV100.
The Mahindra KUV100 is unlikely to receive
mechanical changes with the facelift. The current model is 3,675 mm long, 1,705
mm/1,715 mm long and 1,655 mm tall (with roof rails). These dimensions should
remain unchanged, and so should the mFalcon G80 petrol and mFalcon D75 diesel
engines. The 1.2-litre petrol engine produces 82 bhp and 115 Nm of torque. The
1.2-litre diesel engine develops 77 bhp and 190 Nm of torque. A 5-speed manual
transmission sends power to the front wheels.
The 2017 Mahindra KUV100’s prices shouldn’t vary
from the current model which is priced from INR 4,58,282-7,35,632 (ex-showroom
Delhi). The new model could go on sale around the festive season
(October-November 2017).
