Interiors
Once you step into the car the space within can leave anyone in awe. The knee room and the headroom is more than adequate. The main feature which Mahindra has been insisting on KUV’s inception is that it can host six people. Though the claims are correct and three people can sit comfortably at the rear end, but at the front(or the middle row seat), some people can find it a bit tight. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a short commute or journey it can certainly host six people. The legroom and knee space for the rear end passenger seats are ample.
Moving on, the KUV 100 NXT interiors are now all black. The seat material now looks more premium than before and continuing with the theme Piano-Black insets and silver accents on the dashboard lend a premium touch to the interiors.
