Pros Cons of Mahindra KUV100

Pros

  • The KUV100 has a small foortprint but offers good space
  • There is good enough bootspace for the occupants' bags
  • Available in both manual and AMT transmissions

Cons

  • The middle seat in the front row is not the best place to be in
  • The engine, though refined, is not the peppiest in the segment
  • Gear changes can be a little cumbersome because of the long travel of the clutch

Verdict

M&M has facelifted its smallest offering, the KUV 100 and given it as many as 40 changes overall. The KUV 100 NXT is an improvement on the car for sure. But it is still far from being the segment best. It's quirky and does attract with its SUV appeal. Mahindra should see some renewed success with the facelifted car - though should start to think about better connectivity interfaces like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto.

Pros Cons of Hyundai Creta

  • Loaded with useful features
  • Smooth and refined engines

Verdict

If you’ve read this Hyundai Creta expert review closely, one thing is clear — this SUV doesn’t try to be extreme. It tries to be complete. It delivers comfort, refinement, technology, safety, and strong resale value in one well-rounded package. It may not be the sportiest. It may not offer hybrid tech. But for most buyers, that doesn’t matter.
As Shams Raza Naqvi says, “If you’re looking for everything in one car, this combination could actually work for you.”
That’s exactly what the Hyundai Creta does. It works. Every single day. And that’s why it remains the segment benchmark.

  • First-time SUV owners
  • Comfort-focused drivers
  • Feature-loving buyers

Not Ideal For

  • Hardcore driving enthusiasts

  • Serious off-road adventurers
