#DARE FOR KUV100 NXT

Indian manufacturer Mahindra has brought premium specifications and extra style to the entry-level market with the introduction of the KUV100 NXT #DARE model. This version will only be available in the budget-friendly K2+ version at

R155 999 and will enter the line-up as a permanent addition, slotting in between the entry-level K2+ and the K6+ models. The #DARE has been released in response to the popularity of the KUV100 among young buyers and while it is packed with extra style features and interior luxuries, it remains a highly affordable option in the compact hatch and compact crossover market. The #DARE will be converted from the standard KUV100 NXT K2+ at the new Mahindra Special Fitment Centre in Gauteng. The new facility was opened in November 2019 as the next step in the local investment programme of Mahindra. Initially, the facility will help produce the Pik Up Karoo and the #DARE models.

The first design addition to the #DARE is a set of decals on the rear side doors and tailgate. These black decals, in combination with a dual tone colour combination, ensure that the #DARE catches the eye. A set of 14-inch black alloy wheels round off the styling upgrade.

Inside, the #DARE receives a special Pioneer audio system, which converts the smartphone of the owner into an infotainment control centre. From here, the owner can access the features and music of his or her phone and use it to control the audio system.

The #DARE also receives central locking, a custom embossed carpet set, and a rear parcel shelf, and the model will be introduced with a special financing package of R2 099 a month from Mahindra Finance.
