Expert opinion and recommendation

The Mahindra KUV100 Diesel K8 is a mixed bag when it comes to overall performance and user experience. On the positive side, it boasts good low-end torque, making it capable of crawling at low speeds without any issues, and its suspension is commendable in soaking up road irregularities, enhancing comfort while driving. The interior, although not luxurious, is fairly spacious, and the addition of features like ABS EBD as standard and a gear indicator are notable. However, the vehicle lacks refinement, with noticeable engine noise and vibration, especially past the 3,000 rpm mark. The seats are not very supportive, and blind spots can make reversing challenging. Additionally, the fuel economy is a significant concern, with real-world mileage often falling short of the claimed figures. Overall, while it has its strengths, the KUV100 Diesel K8 needs improvements in several key areas to make it a more compelling choice.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

Mahindra & Mahindra has announced the discontinuation of the diesel version of the KUV100, citing the upcoming Bharat Stage 6 (BS6) regulations. The diesel variant, which was powered by a 1.2-litre mFalcon D75 turbocharged engine producing 77 bhp and 190 Nm of torque, will no longer be available. I think this move is a significant shift towards cleaner and more efficient powertrains.
June 3, 2019
The Mahindra KUV100 NXT, which includes the K8 diesel variant, has received a comprehensive update with improved styling, additional features, and enhanced safety offerings. This refresh aims to boost the vehicles appeal in a competitive market. I believe these updates make the KUV100 NXT a more compelling option for buyers looking for a feature-packed compact SUV.
October 11, 2017
Mahindra has confirmed plans to launch an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) version of the KUV100 NXT, which could include the K8 diesel model, by the first half of 2018. This addition is expected to enhance the vehicles appeal by offering a more convenient driving experience. I think the AMT option will be a welcome addition for city drivers.
October 11, 2017
The Mahindra KUV100, including the K8 diesel variant, has been spotted testing with several cosmetic changes and new features. Although the mechanical aspects remain unchanged, the facelift is expected to give the vehicle a fresh look. I believe these cosmetic updates will help the KUV100 stay competitive in its segment.
July 24, 2017
The Mahindra KUV100 K8 diesel has been part of the models successful run, with the vehicle crossing 21,000 bookings in just a month since its launch. This strong demand indicates the KUV100s popularity in the Indian market. I think the KUV100s unique design and feature set have contributed significantly to its success.

As of the current pricing, the ex-showroom price for the K8 variant typically ranges between 7.5 lakh to 8.5 lakh, depending on the region and any additional features or trim levels. On-road prices, including taxes, registration, and insurance, can range from 9 lakh to 10.5 lakh.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The mileage of the Mahindra KUV100 Diesel K8 is a critical factor for potential buyers. In real-world conditions, the diesel variant typically delivers around 10-13 kmpl, which is lower than the claimed figures. This can be a concern for those who prioritize fuel efficiency, especially in city driving conditions. However, for those who frequently drive on highways, the mileage can improve slightly. Its crucial to consider these figures when evaluating the running costs and overall value of the vehicle.

About

General information and overview

The Mahindra KUV100 Diesel K8 is a compact crossover that aims to blend the practicality of a hatchback with the stance of an SUV. It features a 1.2-liter D75 diesel engine that produces 190 Nm of torque, providing decent power and pickup, especially in city driving. The vehicle comes with a range of features including ABS EBD, a gear indicator, and an updated interior with options like a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system in higher trims. The KUV100 has a ground clearance of 170 mm, which helps in navigating rough road conditions. However, it has some drawbacks such as vague steering, noticeable body roll, and poor fuel economy in city driving. Despite these, it remains a viable option for those seeking a compact, feature-packed vehicle with a unique design and decent performance.
