    Priced between Rs 4.45-6.84 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the KUV100 competes with a whole host of hatchbacks on price, but stands apart as a fresh take in the segment. No doubt, some amount of off-road ability would have done justice to the "young SUV" tag and the overall ride and handling falls a bit short of class standards. Also, the KUV100's pair of mFalcon engines can't quite match the class-leading Japanese (for petrol) and European (for diesel) units for performance, refinement and efficiency, but they get the job done. Buyers with large families will be drawn to the KUV's ability to seat six and there's lots of storage space all round. It's also an easy car to drive and one that copes well with the urban grind. There's no doubt that the baby Mahindra is unique and abounds with lots of clever ideas. That it's so very different from its rivals is the most compelling reason to buy one.
