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 Toyota Fortuner

Pros

  • Strong low-end diesel torque
  • Commanding SUV road presence
  • Improved ride quality
  • Affordable ladder-frame toughness
  • Loyal, proven brand legacy

Cons

  • Expensive compared to rivals
  • Bulky for city parking
  • Petrol engine feels weak
  • Ride comfort slightly firm
  • Lacks modern ADAS suite

Verdict

The Toyota Fortuner is not trying to please everyone and that is exactly why it remains king. This is a machine built on legacy, torque and unquestioned authority. You feel it the moment you sit high behind the wheel. It does not beg for attention; it commands it. If you want soft ride comfort and flashy tech, look elsewhere. But if you want presence, durability and unstoppable road confidence, this is it. As Shams Raza Naqvi would put it, this is the SUV you buy when you want to own the road, not share it. No apologies. No compromises.

Best For

  • Extreme off-road adventure lovers.
  • Long-distance touring without compromise.
  • Buyers with a strong resale value.

Not Ideal For

  • Tight urban daily commuters
  • Tech-first luxury feature hunters
  • Soft suspension comfort lovers
  • Budget-conscious SUV shoppers
