Mahindra South Africa introduces the KUV100

The Mahindra KUV100, which makes its SA debut this month, is a compact SUV that targets buyers of conventional small hatchbacks, but adds the rugged personality, taller stance and all-round versatility more usually associated with SUVs.

The global downscaling trend has already seen many markets showing healthy sales gains in demand for smaller, more economical cars, usually at the expense of larger and dearer models. At the same time, the SUV market continues to show rapid growth. The new KUV100 meets the expectations of both trends in a single product.

The Mahindra KUV100 model range is available in seven colours. Recommended retail prices (including VAT) are as follows:

KUV100 1.2 K4+ Petrol - R149,995
KUV100 1.2 K6+ Petrol - R169,995
KUV100 1.2 K6+ TDiesel - R187,995
KUV100 1.2 K8 Petrol - R179,995
KUV100 1.2 K8 TDiesel - R197,995

The pricing includes a three-year/100,000 km warranty on all models, and a three-year/50,000 km service plan on the K6+ and K8 derivatives (optional for K4+).
