Hi Mahindra you have developed an excellent suv especially for middle class people in India but I would like to know wether we can use this vehicle for commercial purpose such as tourist vehicle.. thnx
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing. Mahindra is introduced the KUV 100 as a passenger car, but not for the commercial purpose like transporting the heavy goods, as well. There is an option to use as a tourist vehicle as it is available in 5-seater and 6-seater configurations. Any way before purchasing it, contact the nearest authorised Mahindra dealer as they will guide you in clear manner. If your are from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, submit your contact details in Automotive site. (www.automotiveml.com). Thank You.....
