Mahindra will celebrate the first anniversary of its KUV100 compact crossover with a new ‘anniversary edition’ variant. The brochures of the anniversary edition has been leaked online before it official announcement.
The anniversary edition gets the KUV100 a dual-tone paint scheme as specified in the brochure images. The flamboyant red and dazzling silver body can be topped with a black metallic roof. The 14-inch wheels will be upgraded to 15-inch as standard on the K8 variant, whereas the 14-inch on the K6 and K6+ variants gets a new design. Mahindra will also provide four personalised accessories kit, details of which will be revealed soon.
Mahindra will also try and resolve the poor fuel efficiency concerns surrounding the KUV100. It is reported that the KUV’s air-conditioning unit will be tweaked, the engine mapping will be revised and the engine mounting would be reworked to improve the stubby car further. The automatic variant for the KUV100 is still on the cards, but apparently won’t be a part of this anniversary edition.
With the launch of Maruti Suzuki Ignis and the newly-launched Tata Hexa, Mahindra is already facing the heat from the competitions. The update for the KUV100 comes right after the launch of the Maruti Suzuki’s Ignis. The KUV100 witnessed amazing sales figures since its launch, but it dwindled down to its lowest in the past few months. Mahindra will also try and boost the decreasing demand of KUV100 with multiple promotional activities.
