Inside the cabin, the new model gets a new black theme. The lower K6 and K6+ trims on the KUV100 are now offered with spider design 14-inch alloy wheels.
"On the first anniversary of KUV100, we would like to thank our customers for their support in creating a new SUV segment. The KUV100 has the appeal of an SUV and the practicality of a compact car, making it a compelling value proposition," Pravin Shah, president & chief executive (Automotive), M&M Ltd., said. "At Mahindra, we constantly update our products in keeping with the latest trends. We have introduced the new avatar of the KUV100 with dual tone exterior colour, sporty and premium black interiors and bigger dynamic design alloys wheels along with various accessory kits. We are confident that it will further build on the KUV100's style quotient and make it a popular choice amongst the youth."
Customisation options are also available for the KUV100 now, which let users choose from accessory kits like sporty exterior and interior kits and premium exterior and interior kits. The KUV100, which made its entry into the market in last January, has sold over 42,000 units in the country so far.
