The car gets an updated front bumper, which comes with a new mesh and has been tweaked to give it a fresh look making it a bit more contemporary. There's a bit more plastic cladding around the fog lamps and a faux skid plate finished in brushed aluminum is also seen at the front and rear, adding to the KUV100's SUV appeal.Also Read: Mahindra KUV100 Facelift: All You Need To Know

The cabin, on the other hand, gets a new all-black treatment with brushed silver inserts for the premium touch. The lower trims will get grey interiors instead, but the overall layout remains unchanged.

Safety features include ABS with EBD, dual front airbags and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
Under the hood, there is no change in the Mahindra KUV100 facelift as it continues to be powered by the same 1.2-litre all-aluminum mFalcon G80 3-cylinder petrol motor that produces 82bhp of power and 114Nm of torque. Whereas, the oil burner will be a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged common-rail diesel engine, named the mFalcon D75, which develops 77bhp along with 190Nm of torque.
