Joining the ranks of the XUV500 and the TUV300 is this “kool” and “kompact” Mahindra KUV100 K4 car. Tough and rugged on the outside, and with a contrasting refined and inviting interior, this SUV is young and aggressive. The car is an unbeatable combination of spacious interiors, peppy performance, accessible technology, good fuel efficiency, and excellent safety.

Design
The KUV100 K4’s tall and wide dimensions give it a muscular look. It’s a car that’s designed to dominate the road. With features such as its spider-design alloy wheels, its sunglass-inspired wraparound headlamps, its clenched fist-inspired ORVMs, it’s clear that this car merges style and function quite beautifully.

Style
This SUV car comes with sleek wheel arch cladding, a sporty rear spoiler, unique double barrel tail lamps, high-placed rear door handles, lustrous interiors, premium fabric upholstery, and a sculpted steering wheel which is also equipped with bolsters. A twin pod instrument cluster in the front gives it that edge over other regular SUV cars.

Technology
The Mahindra KUV100 K4 is all about performance. Its all new mFalcon petrol and diesel engine, steering mounted audio and phone controls, and Driver Information System (DIS) make it the beast of a car that it is.

Safety features
Marked with the standard Mahindra ABS safety feature, automatic hazard warning lamps that turn on in case of panic braking, dual rear fog lamps, child safety locks on the rear seats so your child has a safe and comfortable ride, and an engine immobilizer all contribute to the safety of the driver and the passengers. The car’s monocoque construction adds to its ergonomic design.

Comfort and convenience
Furnished with a spacious 5-seater capacity, armrest with cup holders, a console-mounted joystick-like gearshift, a flat car floor with underfloor storage, and a cluster gear indicator, make this car a truly innovative one. It’s also equipped with an electric power tiltable steering wheel, 12V charging points, and an illuminated key ring car.
