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!!!!
Amazing, wonderful, Robust & muscular KUV 100. Had test drive in mysore and immediately booked it without second thoughts. Hatts off to M&M, please keep up the delivery commitments.
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
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!
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 !!
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
I feel the overall reviewing has been improved. Its much more fun to watch now. Karthik is the reason I watch Autocar. Nice job Mahindra. Maybe this can be my First Car :)
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
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...
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
Autocar, FYI, you cant have front bench for 3 seats. its only to keep bags and not to sit. there is not seat belt for middle seat. so its not passenger seat. 4:40
Nice Great effort...good city run about daily usage convince comfort and hassle free city drivcity being the priority...nice...not very desirable but none the less good enough for the most...
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. :))
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.
styling is the bummer here more than anything else. the rear tail lamps look like they have been lifted from the older gen Touareg, the front end is a poor man's Evoque
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
please help me, trying to buy KUV 100. Please help me with your experience about, customer service, car average, resell cost and maintenance. This would be my very first car, dont know what to look for. range 5-6 lacs. Appreciate your help and your knowledge. Thnxs :)
Great work done by Mahindra and by u guys..... Well i must saw that u were really enjoying ride of car ,frm ur face i can make out I have seen u in big cars also but ur reaction to this car was awesome and it should b bcoz car is awesome but i have recently bought Tata Zest Xt petrol which is awesome comparatively to price of this car but this car gives obe more reason to smile is that its SUV style design
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.
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
actualy kwid is not a comparable car to kuv bcos of kwid is 67 bhp 800 cc engine and kuv is1190cc producr 80 bhp petrol and 77 bhp in diesel kwid hav no diesel engine still and then abs with ebd is available at base mode and dual airbag fr option in all varient though which kwid lacks in safty and price tag is much diffrent in both kwid is below 5 lack light weight car u can compare it with alto 800 or hundai eon kwid is style and boot space is awesome but built quality inside not match up with maruthi or hundai overall it look awesome at outer design kuv is prety more powerd and safty is better at it price tag that it offers
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.
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.
Can you please tell me which one is better to buy, Mahindra KUV100 or Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza? Which one is more compact SUV and more efficient to buy?
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 !
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.
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
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 !
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.
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
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!!!!
I hate the interior but the exterior I love very much
well said (y) . Indians against India . very sad
Abhay Ramkumar I agree with you. Indians hate Indian products then why r they Indian??
This isn't a SUV and tbh it's pretty below average as a hatch
The features are good, but the design is very bad.
being new as a sales manager , ur channel helps me lot to gain technical details of cars
i dont know why we indians don't appreciate indian manufacturers. look at the afferts gyz.
Karan kumar , yes, be Indian ,buy indian ,appreciate Indian.
Because their afferts are not good..
Karan kumar i respect indian technology
Amazing, wonderful, Robust & muscular KUV 100. Had test drive in mysore and immediately booked it without second thoughts.
Hatts off to M&M, please keep up the delivery commitments.
Mysore
Great work Kartik. Big fan of your work.
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
I drove through the mountain passes in South Africa using the KUV100. I like its practical reliable drive
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!
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 !!
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
Parag A agreed
Exactly.....u said each and every piont very right. Appreciate
Ummm, it's not happening
I feel the overall reviewing has been improved.
Its much more fun to watch now.
Karthik is the reason I watch Autocar.
Nice job Mahindra.
Maybe this can be my First Car :)
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
Kudos to the Autocar India team for making such a wonderful video. Way to go guys! :)
those spaces are awesome in the car and the place of the gear suprisingly gives a smile to the face a nyc effort from the indian suv maker
i really liked the front arm rest concept. (y) 5:17
I have kuv and I have taken it to offroads.it is better than all other cars in its compact
Kartikeya Singhee...You are the best narrator I have ever seen! Just perfect!
Their intro is dope
@Kartikeye Singhee, love the Anchoring at 1:55!

Shreyas Sutar hows it

@@ArisePeteryes you can
Hi i am from Tunisia do you advise me to buy mahindra kuv 100 ??
7:10 looks like range rover evoque!
+Sumedh Nandedkar lol
Yup Lolz.....
+Sumedh Nandedkar Negative....Looks like the Range Rover Evoque, the Ford EcoSport and the Suzuki Celerio had a ménage à trois.
+Sumedh Nandedkar lol

That middle seat is really good on both sides.
Very good review. Any idea about an automatic variant?

I love all of Mahindra cars n trucks etc.

good work mahindra. long way since jeep and armada
good job mahindra..but I expect more refinement and price cuts in e2o electric vehicle.. kuv looks value for money though.
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
Autocar, FYI, you cant have front bench for 3 seats. its only to keep bags and not to sit. there is not seat belt for middle seat. so its not passenger seat. 4:40
Good review. But where is the hand break?
Looks like a good city compact suv

amzing car and the speaker is too good
Nice Great effort...good city run about daily usage convince comfort and hassle free city drivcity being the priority...nice...not very desirable but none the less good enough for the most...

This car is very nice and powerful. Position of the gear is good. Comfortable boot space. Very Nice car.
he is so cute... i love him
guys please do a comparison of Ignis vs Kuv100
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. :))
Awesome review!!
omg! this car was so awaited that for putting it on air review for me ! :)
I like it 😘😘😘😘😚👏👏👏meri jaan eek number car👍👍👍👍👍✊✊
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.
I hope that rear pillars where the door handle is placed won't make a blind spot when changing lanes.
Nice review !!!!!!
whatsa the highest speed of this?
nice car...autocar yours reviews are best
styling is the bummer here more than anything else.
the rear tail lamps look like they have been lifted from the older gen Touareg, the front end is a poor man's Evoque
+shashwat panda poor man's evoque....hahaha......thought it seems good car...
+shashwat panda Unable even to copy the legends.
+nasrullah shariff Akram For 4.5 lakhs you can't copy everything.
yeah, its true
mahindra kabada name kuv 100
Missing this kind of car review these days
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.

Great job kartikeya dir
what is opinion of petrol version of kuv100
So no back cameras???
pls review XUV500 n BOLERO too..... looking forward to buy either of them but really confused....
please help me, trying to buy KUV 100. Please help me with your experience about, customer service, car average, resell cost and maintenance.
This would be my very first car, dont know what to look for. range 5-6 lacs.
Appreciate your help and your knowledge. Thnxs :)
Try Suzuki Baleno. Only downside is the huge waiting period.
I am curious, what you bought sir??
Does Mahindra till manufacture XUV 100 Petrol variety or has upgraded model ?
it's a best looking car in sub 4mtr segement till yet..
oh ho ho...Could be thisKUV overtake entry level hatch backs.... I think so
6:10 Dream Job
2020 ka top model kitne ka hai petrol wala
nice car nice design price tag is veru nice i think it going to rock the segment
If priced right, i think this car can be a game changer for Mahindra!
After seeing this car for a month, i got liked to it. Hence its a worthy car under 6 lakhs
After seeing for a month , i liked this car and booked it.
Is this is four wheel drive or not
Great work done by Mahindra
and by u guys.....
Well i must saw that u were really enjoying ride of car ,frm ur face i can make out
I have seen u in big cars also but ur reaction to this car was awesome
and it should b
bcoz car is awesome
but i have recently bought Tata Zest Xt petrol which is awesome comparatively to price of this car
but this car gives obe more reason to smile is that its SUV style design
+amit kumar Giri You have a Zest and you really call this "KUV" an SUV??
@Kartikey Singhee looks so innocent in this video
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.
GREAT LOOKING CAR ,,,,
where is the review on isuzu mu7
nice review. KUV looks ugly from the side. somehow I get a feel it is redesigned quanto.
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
pls review the comparison between renault kwid and mahindra kuv100
actualy kwid is not a comparable car to kuv bcos of kwid is 67 bhp 800 cc engine and kuv is1190cc producr 80 bhp petrol and 77 bhp in diesel kwid hav no diesel engine still and then abs with ebd is available at base mode and dual airbag fr option in all varient though which kwid lacks in safty and price tag is much diffrent in both kwid is below 5 lack light weight car u can compare it with alto 800 or hundai eon kwid is style and boot space is awesome but built quality inside not match up with maruthi or hundai overall it look awesome at outer design kuv is prety more powerd and safty is better at it price tag that it offers
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.
The wheels looking a bit too small for the body frame ?
Which one is preferable....petrol r dzl engine
Is it k2 basic model?
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.
Can you please tell me which one is better to buy, Mahindra KUV100 or Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza? Which one is more compact SUV and more efficient to buy?
buy EcoSports, best build qauality and safety
is it fine to install cng in kuv100???
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 !
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.
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
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 !
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.
Who gives front armrest in its segment ?
Thats a seat😂
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
+wasim hussain i agree !
+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.
+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.
Innovative gear lever
in what variants does that third seat includes ?
Nice vehicle ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
great car 10 out of 10
