Mahindra KUV100 Trip (Taxi Version) Launch Soon
In recent times, taxi and fleet operators offer considerable sales for carmakers in India.
While the Maruti Dzire Tour and the Hyundai Xcent along with Toyota Etios series lead the segment, India's leading Utility Vehicle (UV) manufacturer Mahindra does not want to be left behind.
According to Autocar, Mahindra is readying to launch a new variant of its smallest SUV, the Mahindra KUV100 and is likely to be known as the Mahindra KUV100 Trip.
The KUV100 Trip will be based on the pre-facelift K2 variant, which comes with a 6-seater configuration.
The carmaker is likely to sell the KUV100 Trip as a 5-seater configuration in some Tier-1 cities such as Mumbai.
The significant aspect of the Mahindra KUV100 Trip is that for the first time Mahindra will offer the KUV100 Trip with a petrol-CNG configuration.
The Mahindra KUV100 Trip will get a 1.2-litre petrol-CNG version along with a diesel engine option.
Both the engines will be the same as the regular ones which power the KUV100, producing 70bhp (petrol) and 77bhp (diesel).
