New Mahindras mean business

Indian manufacturer Mahindra has always been focussed on offering good value for money and they have raised the bar even higher with its brand-new versions of the KUV100 NXT and the XUV500, launched locally last week.

Additional luxury specifications on the new KUV100 NXT add to its already impressive list of features such as power windows, tilt-adjustable power steering, air conditioning, central locking rear underfloor storage bins and foldable rear seats. On K6 and K8 models, the list of comforts grows to include a rear row armrest, a cooled glove box, follow-me-home and lead-me-to-vehicle headlights, remote keyless entry, speed-sensing door locks and 12V power outlets. Other luxury additions include a new remote boot-opening switch, a new gearshift indicator display, Intellipark reverse parking sensors and electrically foldable side mirrors on the K8. New comfort features have been added to the XUV500 and like before, the new version has one of the longest standard-feature lists in its segment. All variants offer electric windows and side mirrors, a tilt-adjustable steering wheel with electric power assistance, remote boot lid opening, follow-me-home and lead-me-to-vehicle headlamp functionality and foldable second and third row seats. Mahindra added two new models, the W6 Automatic which off ers a lower entry point for buyers in search of an automatic SUV and the W10 range-topper offers a new level of luxury and specifications. The new W4, complete with mHawk turbodiesel engine and seven seats, enters the market at a very competitive price.
