Mahindra has launched their all new SUV, the KUV100 in India at Rs 4.42 lakh, ex-Pune. The Mahindra KUV100 comes in seven variants and is the smallest SUV in the company's product portfolio.

The KUV100 looks like a pseudo crossover hatchback. It has a bold grille with wraparound headlamps and LED DRLs integrated into them. The turn indicators are also integrated into the headlamps. An all-new alloy wheel design also debuts on the KUV100. The rear door handles are recessed into the C-pillar like the Chevrolet Beat. At the rear, the lamps remind one of the Grand i10. Mahindra have also integrated a roof spoiler on the top trims of the KUV100.

The steering wheel and the meter console is a typical Mahindra affair while the layout of the central console is an all-new approach. Mahindra have mounted the gear-lever on the central console and above it sits the music system as well as AC controls. There is also ambient mood lighting available. The Mahindra KUV100 also offers two different styles of seating- a bench in front with a 6-seater overall configuration and a regular 5-seater option.
