According to Pravin Shah, President & Chief Executive, (Automotive) Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. Said that this is a very proud moment for us, as the KUV100 turns a new leaf in Mahindra's evolution in the SUV segment. Being the market leader in the SUV space, it has always been our endeavour to offer breakthrough products and category creators and we have consistently done that, be it with the Scorpio or the XUV500 and TUV300 more recently. Pravin Shah added that being a listening organization, we identified that today's youth would want an SUV that helps them stand out, that reflects their personality and enhances their lifestyle. He believes the KUV100 will appeal to youth and first time car buyers with its aggressive styling, trendy interiors, long feature list and attractive price point and emerge as a winner.
