Mahindra’s Sporty KUV100 NXT K6 #DARE
The Mahindra brand name has certainly made its mark in South Africa with quality and affordable cars. In November 2019, the company launched their new spec K2+ #Dare variant with resounding success which prompted the new Mahindra KUV100 Nxt K6+ #Dare.
As with the K2 #Dare variant, the local arm of the Indian automaker will also create the Mahindra KUV100 NXT K6+ #Dare at the special fitment centre in Gauteng. They have decided that #Dare models permanently join the local line-up as part of the KUV100 NXT range.
What’s New On The Mahindra KUV100 Nxt K6+ #Dare?
The Mahindra KUV100 NXT range is already a familiar sight on South Africa’s roads and made quite an impression. These compact city cars go up against the Renault Kwid and Datsun Go where the new Mahindra KUV100 NXT K6+ #Dare adds something different to the mix.
In terms of engine, they stuck to their guns with the lively 1.2 petrol engine pushing out 61 kW @ 5 500 rpm. It has long-distance travel suspension for a smoother off-road ride while high approach and departure angles help avoid obstacles when climbing or descending.
The SUV styling comes courtesy of a new aggressive front grille, dual-tone bumpers and silver skid plate which all add to the more rugged look. It gets a brand new integrated spoiler with aerodynamic corners along with fog lamps, sunglass-inspired LED daytime running lights and flared wheel arches with side ridge cladding.
A black roof, black detailing, #DARE decals and darkened 15-inch alloy wheels make it clear as day that this is a new trendsetter for urban mobility.
Interior And Technology
The interior has a premium finish with a sporty black theme and silver accents while branded carpets come standard. As far as features and driver comfort go, the new Mahindra KUV100 NXT K6+ #Dare has plenty. There is 243 litres of boot space, under-floor storage compartments and storage space with removal bin underneath the height-adjustable driver seat.
You also get a cooled glovebox, overhead sunglass holder and puddle lamps to help light-up the car when getting in or out. The gear lever is easy to reach and use while feeling a lot like a joystick which will only add to the overall driving pleasure. A brand new 7-inch full-colour entertainment system stands out with USB audio, video and image playback, 4 speakers +2 tweeters and Bluetooth 4.0.
Some of the technology, driver comfort and safety elements include the following:

The KUV100 NXT K6+ #Dare is one of the safest vehicles in its class boasting a five-star crash test rating from India’s authoritative BNCAP Safety Assessment Programme. It comes standard with ABS brakes, emergency brake assist and two airbags.
Mahindra’s KUV100 NXT range is one of the company’s most popular, largely thanks to the combination of low fuel consumption, safety, SUV styling and value for money. Pricing of the new Mahindra KUV100 NXT K6+ #Dare not only makes it affordable but stylish and practical too.
According to Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa: “With the #DARE, we have injected extra style and specification, while keeping the price as affordable as possible. It is no wonder then that our first consignment of K2+ #DARE models sold out so quickly.”
