Not enough boot space. I'll rather go with the Sandero Dynamic, that's in the same price range.
 
VERDICT

Mahindra’s KUV100 comes with decent spec levels and a raised ride height that’s desirable in the budget hatch segment these days, but its awkward styling and cheap interior will play against it. - Star Motoring

Wow you look at the price and think this looks decent, then you look at the outside and you think it looks crap, then you look at the interior and the outside suddenly becomes a piece of art.

W....T....F.... I've never ever seen an uglier interior. Ever.
 
Need nice fender flares, do those come with the higher end models?

Where are these made?

Car looks semi OK but whenever I see one I can't help but think the owner must be a cheapskate of note :D

And in a nutshell you have why south Africans will buy a dog turd with a vw or Toyota sticker on it. Idiots.

At least the turd will look better, last longer and the door handles won't fall off after a week?

If something looks good and is well made I don't give a faq about who makes it but mahindras typically look like schit and reliability not far behind, you just get what you paid for, not a bargain.
