Besides, it has also brought in the new mFALCON range of engines that delivers good performance on roads. Now, it has also forayed into the ground up petrol space with its new motors. This latest entry has many firsts to its credit and let us further go into the details and find out what it has to offer.

3. Low price tag. Middle class buyers can afford it easily.
Cons:

2. More comfort features should have been offered.
Stand Out Features:

2. Powered by a new mFALCON petrol engine that gives a healthy fuel economy.
Overview:
Mahindra & Mahindra launched the KUV100 in both diesel and petrol versions that are powered by a new range of mFALCON engines. This particular variant Mahindra KUV100 mFALCON G80 K4 Plus is equipped by a 1.2-litre petrol engine that comes with MPFI technology. It packs in several safety attributes like dual front airbags, engine immobilizer and monocoque construction that helps in protecting the passengers. The machine looks rigid and tough yet carries the style factor as well. Some of the striking elements on the outside include a bold radiator grille, rear spoiler, and pronounced wheel arches which altogether bring it a sporty appeal. Its interiors are decent with ample room for passengers and a few utility based aspects. However, it misses out a lot of interesting features that would have added to the comfort quotient.
Exterior:
This machine is a combination of both aggressive styling and ruggedness that will lure the onlookers at a first glance itself. You can see the attractive creases spread over in all the profiles, which adds to its overall appearance further. Starting with its front facade, it has a sleek hood with visible character lines, while the dual tone well sculpted bumper comes fitted with an air intake. The highlight definitely remains the bold radiator grille with Mahindra's insignia engraved in its center. The trendy headlight cluster surrounds the grille and extends up to the front door edges. Those character lines on side and wheel arch claddings does add to its muscularity. The clenched fist design inspired outside rear view mirrors are unique, while the ergonomically high placed rear door handles remain another attraction in its side profile. Fitted to its flared up wheel arches are a set of 14 in steel rims, which come along with full wheel caps. Meanwhile, the remarkable features in its rear end include the double barrel tail lamps, dual tone bumper and a stylish tailgate with company's logo embossed on it.
Interior:
Despite being a sub 4-meter vehicle, it ensures excellent interior space to its occupants. The head and leg room is rather sufficient owing to its huge exterior proportions. The dual tone color scheme to the cabin certainly leaves you with a pleasant feel. A well designed dashboard in the cockpit looks modernistic with some sophisticated elements like the power steering wheel and center console featuring air conditioning unit. Also, it has perfectly positioned air vents that spread cool air in the entire cabin. A dual pod digital instrument cluster provides you with the vehicle's status through the speedometer, tachometer and other notifications. Interestingly, the gear shift lever is fitted to the dashboard thus, making it more easy to the driver. For added convenience, there are front row armrest, headrests, remote keyless entry and a few others. Besides, its well cushioned seats offer you enhanced comfort no matter even if you plan long trips. Moreover, it comes with a 243 litre boot compartment, while a few storage spaces like bottle holders, door trim pockets and a glove box are also on the offer.
Performance:
Powering this machine is a 1.2 litre mFALCON G80 petrol engine that is incorporated with a multi point fuel injection system. It comes with a displacement capacity of 1198cc and generates a maximum power of 82bhp at 5500rpm along with torque of 115Nm between 3500 to 3600rpm. A 5-speed manual transmission gearbox is paired to this mill which transmits power to front wheels. The automaker claims it to return a decent mileage of around 18.15 kmpl on the highways.
Ride & Handling:
Regardless of the kind of roads you take, this machine gives you a comfort filled driving experience because of the efficient suspension system it comes with. This comprise of an independent McPherson strut with dual path mounts on the front axle, while the rear one gets a semi independent twist beam. Along with this, it features coil springs and hydraulic gas charged shock absorbers that prevents you from jerks, which are caused caused due to road irregularities. As for the braking, it gets disc brakes to its front wheels and drum brakes to the rear ones. Further assisting them is the anti lock braking system along with electronic brake force distribution, which boosts the braking mechanism.
Safety:
Mahindra KUV100 mFALCON G80 K4 Plus variant has a few key elements that gives you great security while on journey. It carries dual front airbags to minimize the possibility of injury, whereas the ABS with EBD improves braking mechanism besides providing you good control during emergency braking. A few indicators in the instrument cluster also aid in alerting the driver about the machine. Aside from these, features such as a collapsible steering column, engine immobilizer, and child safety locks on rear doors are also available.
Verdict:
The positives of this trim is its significant security aspects like dual airbags and ABS, which makes you feel safe while you drive. Space in good inside and the dimensions are also generous thus, giving it a SUV like stance. Another main plus point would be its price tag, which is affordable and matches with the budget level of masses. As for its negatives, the comfort elements are limited and this may not satisfy you much. Otherwise, this specific variant is a good choice to go with.
