The updated KUV100 gets a dual-tone paint job with roof finished in black and in two colour options: Flamboyant Red and Dazzling Silver. While it stays very much within the current silhouette, the new edition of the KUV100 rides on 15-inch alloy wheels, instead of the 14-inch wheels. Inside the cabin, the anniversary edition has an all-black interior and upholstery. Other features in the compact SUV remains as it is including the engines.
KUV100 comes powered by 1.2-litre mFalcon G80 and 1.2-litre mFalcon D75 engines.

Both the engines come mated to five-speed manual gearbox. Mahindra KUV100 now returns ARAI-certified fuel economy of 18.15kmpl in petrol and 25.32kmpl in diesel variants.
