Mahindra’s KUV100 NXT #DARE
Following the huge success of the K2+ #DARE, which is put together at Mahindra’s Special Fitment Centre in Gauteng, they’ve added the Mahindra KUV100 K6+ #DARE into the mix. According to Mahindra, the KUV100 range has been one of their most popular, especially among new drivers as it has impressive safety features, low fuel consumption and SUV styling.
Styling And Safety Features In The Mahindra KUV100 K6+ #DARE
The Mahindra KUV100 K6+ #DARE primarily aims at young and new drivers and comes equipped with additional styling elements. These build nicely onto the already unique KUV100 compact crossover design starting with a set of #DARE decals on the rear side doors and tailgate.
These black decals combine seamlessly with the dual-tone colour combination. These styling upgrades, along with a new set of 15” darkened alloy wheels, ensure that the Mahindra KUV100 K6+ #DARE gets the attention it deserves.
For the most part, new drivers often put vehicle safety at the top of their list when looking for a car. With that in mind, they’ll be happy to know that just like the other models in the range, the Mahindra KUV100 K6+ #DARE also features ABS brakes with emergency brake assistance and two airbags.
Mahindra claims that the KUV100 NXT is one of the safest vehicles in its class boasting a five-star crash test rating from India’s authoritative BNCAP Safety Assessment Programme.
What’s The Interior Like In The Mahindra KUV100 K6+ #DARE?
Inside the KUV100 K6+ #DARE, drivers will be pleased to see a special Pioneer audio system that can convert your smartphone into an infotainment control centre. This enables you to not only access the features and music on your phone but also use it to control the audio system.
Considering the price range of Mahindra KUV100 K6+ #DARE, new drivers will be pleasantly surprised by all the features in the offering. The K6+ #DARE has now added branded carpets to their long list of standard equipment which includes:
- air-conditioning
- electric windows
- speed-sensing door locks
- 7” full-colour entertainment system
- Bluetooth and USB connectivity
Fuel Consumption And Maintenance Costs
Most new drivers ideally want a car that is modern, safe and economical to drive and maintain. The Mahindra KUV100 NXT has been seriously impressive as it recently scored the highest rating in the A1 class in the WesBank Fuel Economy Tour. The KUV diesel left all other contenders behind, averaging less than 5.3 litres/100 km, helping Mahindra rank in the top 3 of the most fuel-efficient brands in South Africa.
If that’s not enough to whet the appetite of new drivers, the Kinsey Report determined that the KUV100 NXT is the most affordable compact crossover to repair and maintain. This has also helped Mahindra secure its first large fleet purchase as the KUV seems likely to become an even more popular sight at vehicle rental fleets.
Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa, said: “We have injected extra style and specification while keeping the price as affordable as possible. It is no wonder then that our first consignment of K2+ #DARE models sold out so quickly.”
Buying The Mahindra KUV NXT K6+ #DARE
Under the bonnet, you will find the automaker’s naturally aspirated 1,2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine pushing 61 kW and 115 Nm of torque to the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. Marked at R199 999, Mahindra SA is offering the KUV100 NXT K6+ #DARE at less than R2 600 per month.
Gupta concluded that the #DARE is proof that you do not have to break the bank to have a stylish and compact SUV. With one year’s insurance also included in the low price, there’s a compromise on specifications or style.
