Mahindra has launched the Mahindra KUV100 NXT in
India, with prices starting at INR 4.39 lakh*. The KUV100 NXT is the facelifted
model of the KUV100 that was launched last year.
The Mahindra KUV100 NXT features a number of styling
changes on the outside. At the front, the facelift brings new aggressive front
grille, more muscular bumper with silver skid plate, tweaked headlamps with LED
DRLs and new fog lamps with black bezel surrounds. On the sides, the KUV100 NXT
gets new 15-inch diamond-cut two-tone alloy wheels, mirrors with integrated
turn indicators, new flared wheel arches with wheel cladding and new door and
sill cladding. At the rear, the first major update to the hatchback brings
clear lens tail lamps, redesigned tailgate and new roof spoiler with ‘Aero’
corners.
Inside, the Mahindra KUV100 NXT has a black colour
scheme, new seat fabric design & colour, improved seat bolstering, new
instrument cluster illumination and a fresh centre console design. Mahindra has
introduced a number of new technologies in the new model. The long list of
these tech features include power folding function for the exterior mirrors,
electrically operable tailgate latch, Intellipark reverse parking sensors,
remote boot opening key, new driver information system with voice alerts,
gearshift alerts, new temperature control panel and a 7-inch touchscreen
infotainment system with GPS navigation.
The Mahindra KUV100 NXT is 3,700 mm long, 1,735 mm
wide and 1,655 mm tall. It is 25 mm longer and 30 mm wider than the Mahindra
KUV100. The engine options are the same as before: 1.2L mFalcon G80 petrol and
1.2L mFalcon D75 diesel. The petrol engine produces 82 bhp and 115 Nm of
torque. The diesel engine develops 77 bhp and 190 Nm of torque. Mahindra says
that it has reduced the engine noise for a quieter drive. A 5-speed manual
transmission sends power to the front wheels. An automatic transmission option
will follow in 5-6 months’ time.
The Mahindra KUV100 NXT is available in K2/K2+, K4+,
K6+ and K8 grades. Prices range from INR 4,39,000-7,42,648*.
