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.
Great work Kartik. Big fan of your work.
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
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
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
being new as a sales manager , ur channel helps me lot to gain technical details of cars
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!
I drove through the mountain passes in South Africa using the KUV100. I like its practical reliable drive
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 !!
Kudos to the Autocar India team for making such a wonderful video. Way to go guys! :)
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
Kartikeya Singhee...You are the best narrator I have ever seen! Just perfect!
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
Pretty cool intro video to come out of india :) keep it up guys
I have kuv and I have taken it to offroads.it is better than all other cars in its compact
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
Their intro is dope
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 :)
I loved it..! Will definitely buy this soon...!
kartikeya singhee is the best host and reviewer ever. kudos kartik,really nice work.
Well come "Baby XUV".........Appreciable work from indian company.....kudos to M&M..
well done Mahindra!! wish u guys good luck
it's really a very good car, well done mahindra n mahindra keep it up, cheers
That middle seat is really good on both sides.
omg! this car was so awaited that for putting it on air review for me ! :)
very good effort mahindra..
car looks amazing.
A perfect reviewer..... great one!!!
good job mahindra..but I expect more refinement and price cuts in e2o electric vehicle.. kuv looks value for money though.
Very good review. Any idea about an automatic variant?
I really liked this one!
my opinion...exceptional effort from Mahindra..wow
@Kartikeye Singhee, love the Anchoring at 1:55!
I love all of Mahindra cars n trucks etc.
i really liked the front arm rest concept. (y) 5:17
Even though the design isnt a total success , Mahindra knows what will sell. Love Mahindras safety concerns. Big Thumps up for KUV100
I hope that rear pillars where the door handle is placed won't make a blind spot when changing lanes.
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.
This car is very nice and powerful. Position of the gear is good. Comfortable boot space. Very Nice car.
Wow man very nice start.
Awesome review!!
booked it today itself.... very impressed... 8 out of 10
Shreyas Sutar hows it
how is it ? Can I exchange Polo for Kuv?
@@AriseRayamangalamyes you can
My car is kuv
he is so cute... i love him
Kartikeya you look happy today
good work mahindra. long way since jeep and armada
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
pls review XUV500 n BOLERO too..... looking forward to buy either of them but really confused....
Looks like a good city compact suv
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.
If priced right, i think this car can be a game changer for Mahindra!
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. :))
Great job kartikeya dir
Hi i am from Tunisia do you advise me to buy mahindra kuv 100 ??
nice!!! breaking distance and time taken please
Nice review !!!!!!
When it will be available to the south indian markets (chennai) ???
nice video does this come in automatic
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??
guys please do a comparison of Ignis vs Kuv100
nice car nice design price tag is veru nice i think it going to rock the segment
it's a best looking car in sub 4mtr segement till yet..
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...
driving*
Tata nano AMT is batter
in what variants does that third seat includes ?
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...
amzing car and the speaker is too good
whatsa the highest speed of this?
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.
nice car...autocar yours reviews are best
Good review. But where is the hand break?
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
yes kuv100 give experience of land rover
great car 10 out of 10
GREAT LOOKING CAR ,,,,
what is opinion of petrol version of kuv100
6:10 Dream Job
is it fine to install cng in kuv100???
Gear liver position is like japnese style , anyway I hope it's a good car
jeep look to a car is always a plus. cuz jeep is like power symbol
Mahindra makes a solid move against those Japanese hatches. Rock and roll KUV 1OO
oh ho ho...Could be thisKUV overtake entry level hatch backs.... I think so
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
I like it 😘😘😘😘😚👏👏👏meri jaan eek number car👍👍👍👍👍✊✊
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.
2020 ka top model kitne ka hai petrol wala
cute car
am looking for a good car in my budget 5 to 6lacks, am not interest maruti its build up quality very bad, i select one model nissan micra active Xvs model please suggest me good car...
thanks
Good impressive car
Is it k2 basic model?
The tyre size looks small when viewed from the side and the body feels like bulging over them.
The wheels looking a bit too small for the body frame ?
look very nice
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
this is nice
@Kartikey Singhee looks so innocent in this video
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
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.
kuv exterior design at TUV100 size and features would have been a winner . this looks like a raised nano and the TUV a suitcase with wheels
Which one is preferable....petrol r dzl engine
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.
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
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??
