Mahindra KUV100 [2016-2017] User Reviews

Exterior Just good, liked the exteriors. The lights and the grilled front gives the feeling of a bulky SUV.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space and comfort is there, features are good and very safe to travel long routes.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Rather poor engine as oil could get mixed with coolant and overheat the engine, fuel economy is questionable.

Ride Quality & Handling Quite nice, it is a smooth ride and the power steering helps you drive safely on long routes. The car, once it touches 80 KMPL does gives you a feeling of effortless driving.

Final Words After sales service could have been better. If your budget is around 6-7 lakhs, buy it. this is worth a ride and I have driven 15000 kilometers and have faced issue only once when my engine got overheated. otherwise the space, safety, comfort is too good.

Areas of improvement Need to work on after sales service. Lack of professionalism while handling others cars is not appreciated.

1. Booked for the 6 seater version got the 5 seater.

2. Ride quality is superb.

3. Design wise and looks is OK! Performance in convincing.Handling is not good, too much of blind spots.

4. Worst service you can ever get in the country. Had problem with mileage and petrol smell in the cabin,yes I don't need an air freshener I got inbuilt petrol air freshener inside. Visited service nearly 7-8 times reporting this problem and still persisting, think twice before going Mahindra. Worst after sales service you can ever get especially if you are a keralite never buy it from eram motors. There was many problems with door lightings, car getting stuck on small steeps where even alto could climb easily! Even I communicated with mahindra through e-mail the results were same! I myself lost my hard earned money so if you don't want to lose it, stay away from Mahindra.

5. Ride quality is good with the ground clearance. But mahindra just sell their cars. They don't look well into customers in case of complaints or anything! Too bad to waste your hard earned money with the worst ever after sales service!

Exterior Nice.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Nice, fuel economy 12.5 (in city) & 14.5 (on highway).

Ride Quality & Handling Very nice.

Final Words I had doubt in mileage before purchasing. I am driving this car for 5 months. i get mileage of 12.5 (in city) and 14.5 (on highway). I am fully satisfied with car. Additional benifit is ABS in the car which is hardly available this range other cars. Up to 120 kmph car is comfortable in handling. Overall nice car and one can recommand to others. price range is also very satisfactory.

Areas of improvement Little jerks in first gear.

Exterior : The design is really good and a head turner for sure!!!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Interior is nice, very well managed with 6 seater option, under seat storage but could have been much better with better material.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Gears are smooth though I faced issues with the 5th gear. Engine is smooth which I hadn't expected after reading few reviews and surprised me.  Overall Performance is good.

Ride Quality & Handling : Ride quality and handling are impressive.

Final Words

Its kool, looks good, impressive car. Go for it!!Smile

Areas of improvement   Build quality is good but can be improved in some areas. Boot space is not that good. If Mahindra could add few more inches to the car, definiely the look would be more proportionate offering good boot space.Colour qulity needs improvement. Plastic quality/Materials used should be improved and Automatic version should be added to the portfolio.

........................................................................................................................

Exterior

• The car is attractive overrall, looks aggressive from the front.

........................................................................................................................

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

• The cabin is spacious and can seat 3 average built persons in the front seat, although not comfortable for 3 but can be managed.
• Comfortable seating position (SUV like seating position)
• Ample leg room
• Quality speakers; no need to install other sound systems, the factory speakers are too good and the sound quality is crisp.

........................................................................................................................

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

• Cabin vibrates a lot while moving the car from standstill and in 1st & 2nd gears.
• Performance is average; have ridden on NICE road and the car felt stressed at 100+ km/hr speed.
• Poor fuel efficiency (Getting 8 km/pl in city)

........................................................................................................................

Ride Quality & Handling

• Handling is good
• Engine noise in cabin

........................................................................................................................

Final Words

 Good buy if features are considered, but if fuel is your main considereation then look for other cars.

........................................................................................................................

Areas of improvement  

• Fuel efficiency (This car is the worst in efficiency amongst all the cars released this year)
• Engine noise & cabin vibration

 .......................................................................................................................

Exterior For Exterior : It shows muscular image of mahindra. Nice and Unique exterior

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is too good, specially mood lights and puddle lamps. Even Dashboard and gear clusters are attractive. While driving in night time, inside looks attracive.sapce wise no doubt about mahindra, and too comfortable or long drives 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good, Not noisy even from outside compare to other diesel engines, fuel economy on high way with AC i got 22 KMPL, in City , with AC i got 18.6 KMPL.

Ride Quality & Handling : I have Purchased Mahindra KUV 100 K8 Diesel Top Model. Ride qualty and handling is too good and smooth. while seeing no jerks, on any kind of road. its a nice car.

Final Words Simply the worh to money. Best in small segment. Unique car.

Areas of improvement Variety of color to be added. Music system should have touch screen. Rear view camera should be added.

Exterior Very Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very very Poor 11 Km / litre, Petrol - city driving, 5th gear gets stuck sometimes when changing to lower gears,No improvement after service.

Ride Quality & Handling The movement of the car is jerky while shifting gears.

Final Words I Will not recommend to go for petrol version, Ecosport is much better than KUV 100 As 4 times i have visited the service center for mileage complaint and best mileage i have got only 12.4 km/ltr, driving on a almost no traffic on the road.

Areas of improvement Engine performance & fuel economy/ Hand Break/5th gear gets stuck sometimes /  acceleration is poor in 2nd / 3rd & 4th gear.

The dealer and service manager  suggest that the mileage will improve post 1st servicing and the engine will also be tuned for smoothness and pick-up but frankly no improvement at all, SO better to look another option. No to KUV 100 Petrol.

Exterior Seriously A head turner , Suv stance from the front.Looks are good. But the side looks need to be improved.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) A practical cabin which has necessary elements for both the chauffer and co-passengers.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good in power mode.I have reached maximum speed of 160. But we need to press the accelerator for a longtime to reach. Quitely its not advisible.Just for checking the Topspeed i went. And a driving speed of 100 is recommended to get 16kmpl. Sometimes it is very difficult to shift down the gear from 5th to 4th.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good in good roads. And acceptable in bad roads.Not much bouncy.

Final Words A decet car for a small family,which has much value for money that all the mahindra's have.

Areas of improvement Mahindra should improve the fuel efficiency. Mahindra is very good in marketing,but people are so shrude. so dont try to wash our eyes with false marketing. Kindly improve the fuel efficiency,not only for the new vehicles but also for the existing users. We have bought the vehicles on the words u said.

Exterior

 it is beast from the front profile, it easily catches the attentions of fellow drivers, invincible design. side profile looks similar to anyother hatchback, rear profile too has got distinctive design of an compact suv, Tall stance make it hunk on the road. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Very pleasent interior, it feels too comfortable by looking at the interior assembly, the feel of it is just awesome. we get the feel of premium cars as the built in quality is good. Dash board is neatly assembled, the joy stick gear handle is really fun to use, more ergonomical in its nature, A/C is very much powerful, the flat base is the best point i would highlight, coming to space KUV is superb at it class, knee room and head room is super cool. Not to forget the boom boom music system, i have fallen in love with the music system, best in class music system. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 excellent performance with all new engine, mine is diesel varient and i would say it is the best powerful vehicle in its ssegment, it pulls any weight at ease, superb milage ( i am getting 20+ in city ), gear shifting is smooth, short shifts makes easy to add fun to driving. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 bit of body roll is felt at the sharp turns but it is well controlled. riding is fun, different driving modes offer good confidence to kcik the vehicle.

Final Words

Value for the money, best in class diesel vehicle, dont think too much just go for it to feel the beast.
