Mahindra & Mahindra has commenced exports of its 'micro-SUV', the KUV100. Reports indicate that the automaker has exported over 400 units of the car to right-hand-drive markets such as Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and South Africa.
More than half of the exports are destined for South Africa, where Mahindra already sells a range of products, including the new Scorpio and XUV500. A quick glance through the list of exports reveals that the automaker is exporting the K4+, K6+ and the K8 variants with both, the petrol and diesel engines to the African country.
The KUV100 has been doing phenomenally well in the domestic market. It received twenty-one thousand bookings within a month and also featured in the top five best-selling cars in its class. You can check our March sales report to see how it fared against its rivals. With 14,210 units sold till March 2016, the KUV100 is the second best selling Mahindra, month-on-month, after the Bolero.
The little Mahindra became quite the rage when launched, thanks to its aggressive starting price of Rs. 4.42 lakhs. It also brought in a lot of features for the money, such as an integrated music system, Bluetooth connectivity, steering mounted controls and most importantly, an optional six-seater layout.
The exports will go a long way in contributing to Mahindra's annual target of selling eighty to ninety thousand units of the KUV100. At current levels, the automaker might just be able to achieve that number. We have already driven the diesel and the petrol avatars of the KUV100, don't forget to check the review.
