Speaking of engines, the KUV100 debuts a new range of “Falcon” engines, which includes an 82 bhp 1.2-liter three cylinder petrol (mFalcon G80) and 77 bhp 1.2-liter three-cylinder diesel (mFalcon D75) engines. Mahindra is yet to detail the gearbox options, but is likely to offer a 5-speed manual gearbox and an AMT (unconfirmed).
