[@abhayramkumar1078]

Why do people hate this SUV?.. I think Indians love hating on all thing made by India...why??...but if this was made by Hyundai, Ford,Renault.. they'll say WOW!!!...I agree side view does look awkward...but its got its own style... I really like the front and back of this SUV...I think mahindra is trying their level best. At least encourage them. Come on!!!!

[@abhayramkumar1078]

I hate the interior but the exterior I love very much

[@raktimsaikia1941]

well said (y) . Indians against India . very sad

[@devduttkamath7186]

Abhay Ramkumar I agree with you. Indians hate Indian products then why r they Indian??

[@mihrpsah]

This isn't a SUV and tbh it's pretty below average as a hatch

[@prithvirajjana3371]

The features are good, but the design is very bad.

[@kumarkaran26]

i dont know why we indians don't appreciate indian manufacturers. look at the afferts gyz.

This is Parag and my passion is to drive and review different cars. Last week, i have driven Mahindra KUV and my reviews are as follow.. This is best option available around 5-6 lacks. Those who dislike this, Just take test drive and understand new approach from Mahindra.. Pros 1. SUV kinda driving position 2. 6 people can seat ( this is big + in India for middle class) 3. Muscular design ( way better than Wagon R boxy design which is popular in India) 4. Good Leg and head room 5. Sufficient power and milage and good torque for diesel 6. ABS and EBD standard Cons - 1. Mahindra should go with 15 inch for base and 16 inch tire for top variant 2. Ground clearance should be minimum 185 mm Overall this is nice option. Mark my words, "This car will hit Indian market. " - 7th Feb'16

[@devduttkamath7186]

Parag A agreed

[@05e1-rishab2]

Exactly.....u said each and every piont very right. Appreciate

[@adityakj1992]

the way this man is speaking and giving info abt this vehicle is really nice....it is not making it boring like other reviews where they only give info abt vehicle...he is very happily saying everything and this makes watching this review without getting bored

[@nzron7899]

K6 petrol PROS :great car,excellent smooth ride thanks to bridgestone tyres, steering is super sensitive be careful at high speed, music system is awesome #incredible bass# ,AC is also GUD,excellent noise proofing,gears are quite easy to handle in 6 seater no pain in hand, seating is high it feels like king of the road, blue sense gud effort.. Need to add more feature in it, headlight visibility superb , super spacious , warning alerts in music system display like hand break engaged... Door open... Etc of great use , ......at last value for money Now the down side CONS : car length is a bit small but gud for maneuverability ..specially in traffic , kuv looks huge from front and back thanks to its width (greater than swift, Honda city, Ritz,grand i10, xcent, even Mahindra thar...) But looks a bit small from the side.., dead pedal is of no use and if u have 9shoe size it struck every time u push clutch , wearing n opening seat belt a bit uneasy in 6seater , acceleration is a gud not best ( gud for city drive) , no handy place to put cellphone for driver seat , Mahindra accessories r over priced better to go buy from outside , that's all Note: these all r my personal experience so if u agree or not that's all ur wish I HV nothing to do with it.... Have a safe motoring

[@sunilhimself]

Love the new intro video you guys have! \m/ The KUV looks like a very practical car with bold 'love it or hate it' styling. Air bag option on all variants? ABS with EBD standard on all variants? This from an Indian company? Makes me proud! For this reason, the KUV100 gets my vote. Go Mahindra!

[@savlavinay]

Its always a real treat to watch all your reviews. Your simplicity and point to point discussions about the vehicles make your channel unique, may it be 2 or 4 wheelers. Keep up the good work Kartikeya Sir. Cheers !!

Try Suzuki Baleno. Only downside is the huge waiting period.

[@mihrpsah]

I am curious, what you bought sir??

[@akashshrivastav8561]

hey kartik.. .i loved this this car...i went fr test drive after watching this review...only one question...should I go for this...Yes or NO...confused...but I liked it...

[@meenakshimitra5435]

I've test drive today n I didn't find any problem in case of front view. I could judge properly. Only the clutch wasn't giving me push once I was releasing as it required accelerator. Rest is all ok.

[@albyprince5551]

Even though the design isnt a total success , Mahindra knows what will sell. Love Mahindras safety concerns. Big Thumps up for KUV100

nice review. KUV looks ugly from the side. somehow I get a feel it is redesigned quanto.

[@devduttkamath7186]

Gunjan Verma . It is good looking and one more thing about this car I would like to say that it is for the young generation and for ppl who love travelling. Not for people who r uncle's and for those who like cars like ignis

[@authenticmax6350]

I hope that rear pillars where the door handle is placed won't make a blind spot when changing lanes.

[@ibrahimdudhiawala]

Mahindra KUV 100 NXT patrol and diesel variants are having almost 1 lakhs rs different so as per you opinion for about 3 years of usage which variant should I go for? tell me model also. like base model or othersper month usage would be 1200km.will mostly use in highways.

Dear autocar expert. I am planning to buy kwid rxt or kuv100 k2 version . This will be my first car and my usage will not be much. I have family of 3 person. Due to look, ABS and more powerful engine should I pay 1 lkhs rupees extra?? Give me your personal opinion asap.

[@RajeshSharma-Babu]

it's really a very good car, well done mahindra n mahindra keep it up, cheers

[@yashsrivastav8908]

This car is very nice and powerful. Position of the gear is good. Comfortable boot space. Very Nice car.

[@HarshPatel9638]

What a car amazing i dont have explanation. Mahindra done very good job. Lot of features expect in this cost its unbelievable. Kuv100 will transform market in higher level. Abs ebd safety features are needs not luxury this neediness properly understand by Mahindra. I am very happy Indian car manufacturer tells outsiders we are above your level of safety. :))

[@vellathilashan07]

i think hatch backs are better at this price point. they are more planted , lesser body rolls. KUV has only the looks of suv. its is basically a hatchback wearing an outfit of an suv. Just noticed one thing in the review of auto car about zica they told that the power delivery is linear and the way they told i feel that it is one of the biggest cons of the car. But in this review linear pwr delivery seems to be not an issue. but i love the rear seat space and flat floor.

[@mohdnawaz2544]

Good review. But where is the hand break?

Wow man very nice start.

[@nitin7coorg]

A perfect reviewer..... great one!!!

[@cr8xtremeCaRnAgE]

for all who have not driven it... you sure need to have it once... it feels a lot more like an SUV than an hatch back and the power it commands is really great compare the drive with other hatchback... KUV takes away the prize for its offerings

[@TheHindvi]

very good effort mahindra.. car looks amazing.

[@kiranjayaram6185]

Guys can I trust Mahindra for it's petrol engine and go for KUV 100 . Im worried of Mahindra s suspension setting for its floaty feel . My budget is around 5.5 to 6 n I want to go for petrol please suggest me the best car

[@wasimM118]

I know its a personal opinion but to all people who are saying that it looks ugly....i wanna know at this price tag which car looks awesome?......i think this is a better looking car in its segment......if you guys want a good looking one then kindly buy a Ferrari

[@mannu2112]

+wasim hussain i agree !

[@rishikausshik00]

+wasim hussain At this price range, there are quite many handsome Hatchbacks, which offer better image and feel than this ugly contraption of an SUV.

[@vellathilashan07]

+wasim hussain in my opinion KUV is a failure in terms of looks. Every part is overdone by M&M. Nither SUV nor Hatch back.

[@kumkumpatel5336]

I loved it..! Will definitely buy this soon...!

[@bishalchhettri1047]

The tyres look out of place cause they are too small for that hulky body. The front look is square and the rear round hence making it completely off sync in appearance. Fixing that shouldn't impact the price for MM.

[@mayurnayudu3376]

Well things like these are the ones that set the trend..you will not like it much initally .but it will slowly grow on you....case in in point..Samsung Phablets...not every one liked it and it now it has created a market for itself. Kuv is a nicer car for many reasons..for starters..its innovative styling..some people might not like it ..but you know every one has their tastes. I really like the dash and the overall car..looks quality built too ,has a good engine and well priced too. Mahindra is really putting a lot in its products and its shows. ..I would say look at the nice points of the car .and then judge. I see most people saying that they dont like some points of the car. My advise is ... Drive the car and judge the car as a whole and I am sure ..most opinions might change :-). Lastly this is a car that has been built from the ground up..unlike the Maruthis..which have the pretty much the same engine in every car they make. Well done Mahindra..proud of you!!!. From bolero to scorpio, to Xylo to quanto to Xuv500 to Tuv 300 and now Kuv 100 ..truly a very nice progression. Well done Indeed

did it even get what transmission they are using. 5 speed manual? sequential? automatic?

It's a manual 5 speed gear box.that is designed in a cool way that sits on the console which looks like automatic!

[@extremiztic]

That was one hell of a review. Even though KUV100 doesn't please me much, I'm sure of one thing, this is going to sell like hot cakes. And the chances are that, M&M is going to be a really big global automotive player within a decade. Only if they could invest more in Reva and build the brand. The first gen Reva had quite a fan-following in many western markets. M&M and TATAs needs to invest a way lot more in li-ion battery tech.

After seeing this car for a month, i got liked to it. Hence its a worthy car under 6 lakhs

[@kumarchatakonda]

After seeing for a month , i liked this car and booked it.

[@goldilockszone4389]

I used to own a Mahindra SUV called - Rexton. Bought it for 25 Lacs. The after sales for premium customers was also so bad that I decided never to own Mahindra product ( except may be the thar). My car later met with an accident and when I went to sell the same, I was getting offer like 50k for 25 lac car. I finally sold it for 80K. Mahindra in my view is a basically a Jeep manufacturer who are playing in that zone with refurbished versions of the Logan fitted with an SUV looking body. I have heard Mahindra SUV is good, though. And scorpio was good too. But if you are expecting a Car like product - smooth ride quality and good customer service then never buy a Mahindra. If you want to just own a big Vehicle - Thar is good !

[@nathu3773]

80K for a 25 Lakh vehicle. What did you sell just the seats ? OMG..Sad man. The bad service is because I think Rexton is from the Korean Car maker which Mahindra acquired .After Sales in India is bad. Mahindra XUV is a good option with good pre sales service centres. I own one.

[@goldilockszone4389]

Yes. It was an accident vehicle may be thats the reason. I realised the luxury vehicle have no resale value in India. Mahindra hasnt figured the needs of that segment. Next time I will stick to Toyota

[@nathu3773]

Your choice I can't get over the addiction to stick with Indian made vehicles or products as much as possible. Planning to get the new E2O plus electric . Anyway...Have a good one !

[@devduttkamath7186]

Flip Tube you r a fool. This car isn't meant for uncle's and aunties who plan to go on a trip with ironed clothes water bottles. Etc. It is for the young India who prefer to go without planning on a trip. U ppl don't know but Mahindra is for offroading and it goes in 2ft water. Just cuz u don't like it doesn't mean u give shit review on it. Thanks for telling shit. Bcz of ppl like u Indian ppl but products from other countries and pay money to them. It's like your office giving your salary to someone else on your name.

[@DEADSHOTYT777]

I ve owned this car since 2016 and let me tell u guys that this car is not at all successfull.... I ve spent more than 1 lakh rupees on its repairing and maintainence...
