KUV100 interiors leaked prior to launch

After Mahindra unveiled the KUV100 compact SUV’s styling a few weeks ago, leaked images of its interiors have surfaced online. We now get a comprehensive view of the interiors and know what we can expect of the car when it will be launched on the January 15^th 2016.

The pictures seem to reveal it is taken of the top-spec K8 variant. From the pictures we can see that the gearbox is dashboard mounted which can imply that this car could have bench seats up front as well making it a six-seater. The handbrake lever is positioned below the centre console, and gets a pull-type mechanism, first seen on the Toyota Qualis and Datsun Go. The KUV100’s gets a single binnacle instrument cluster, with two rectangular AC vents that sit on top of the centre console.

However, the infotainment system does not get the touchscreen feature, but does come with a display for multimedia information. Below this are three vertically positioned HVAC switches.

The KUV100 will be powered by Mahindra’s all new engine family, the mFalcon. These include both diesel and petrol options.

The petrol motor on duty will be a three-cylinder 1.2-litre engine churning out 82bhp at 5,500rpm, while the diesel will also be a 1.

2-litre, three-cylinder unit good for 77bhp. The KUV100 will come with a five-speed manual gearbox. Mahindra would also consider an AMT variant in the near future.
