M&M has
launched KUV100 in Taiwan. The entry-level model costs
NT$ 558,000, although the company is offering the first 10
units for a discounted price of NT$ 498,000.
The Mahindra KUV100
is available in Taiwan in only the cheaper, 5-seat version. It is equipped with
features like 15-inch alloy wheels, power windows on all doors, electrically
adjustable exterior mirrors, cooled glovebox, headlights with follow-me home
function, rear parking sensors and mood lighting in inner door handles.
Mahindra’s
Taiwanese website says that a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system is a part
of the standard equipment, but one of the images from the launch event
published by news.u-car.com.tw, does not show the car equipped with
this feature. On the safety front, the feature list includes ABS with EBD,
dual-front airbags, speed sensing automatic door locks and ISOFIX child-seat
mount among others.
The Mahindra KUV100
measures 3,700 mm in length, 1,735 mm in width and 1,655 mm in height. It has a
2,385 mm wheelbase and a 170 mm ground clearance. Under the hood is the
standard mFalcon G80 petrol engine. The 1.2-litre naturally aspirated
three-cylinder mill produces 82 hp at 5,500 rpm and 115 Nm of torque at
3,500-3,600 rpm. A 5-speed manual transmission sends drive to the front wheels.
