மஹிந்திரா நியூவோஸ்போர்ட் A Worthy 7-seater Sub 4-Meter SUV

Indian car manufacturers are always creating niches within niches to offer something unique and different to typical Indian buyers. The Indian customers always desire and appreciate innovation. So to keep up the expectations of its customers, brands are manufacturing different products and it's not at all surprising to witness wide products from the same manufacturer competing against their own siblings. Take an example of Mahindra, the home grown carmaker already has wide range of products in its portfolio. Its recent iteration in the sub 4-meter space is the NuvoSport. I have been driving the my friend's SUV since 1 year and I am quite pleased with the performance. The vehicle lives up to my expectation in almost all the fields. The things that really impressed me are its pickup power, smooth driving dynamics, excellent hill climbing is excellent while the highway driving in cruise control is a true surprising factor. Talking about the outer profile, Mahindra NuvoSport features a new face which is aggressive, unique and a head turner. Front bumper is sporty while the slim radiator grille goes well with the LED DRL headlamps. Rear part gets fresh spoiler, new bumper and new tail lamp design. The cabin is practical, spacious and well-found with features. However, the quality levels are a bit disappointing. The cabin houses a 6.2-inch Kenwood touchscreen unit that supports AUX, USB and Bluetooth connectivity. The passengers can dump plenty of stuff in the cabin as there are utility boxes, cup-holders at central armrest at both front and rear. Moreover, the practicality is further evident with the fact that the boot space has 414 liters of capacity which can be further extended to 850 liters by folding and tumbling the middle row. As far as engine is concerned, the 1500cc engine produces 100PS of power which is quite impressive. On the negative note, Mahindra NuvoSport has little lag in the first and second gear but runs well on the highways. Overall, NuvoSport is really an awesome 7-seater SUV packed with good features and powerful mill with spacious cabin. In my opinion, people looking for an SUV cum MUV under Rs. 10 lakhs they must shortlist NuvoSport. It?s definitely worth the cost if you are willing to ignore a few cons.
