Mahindra NuvoSport website launched

Market launch confirmed for April 4.

The official website of the Mahindra Nuvosport has gone live, although it merely reveals its exterior design and a countdown to its confirmed launch on April 4.

The Mahindra Nuvosport features an all new front end, while the rear end retains the outgoing Quanto's design. Up front, it sports a new grille flanked by headlamps, separate LED DRLs, contoured hood with an intake, stylized front bumper with round foglamps, and a silver skid plate. The Nuvosport adds black plastic body cladding, while the rear end features clear lens taillights, roof spoiler and new spare wheel cover.

The top-end N8 grade will feature an interior that has dual-tone black and beige leather seats and a beige dashboard. It retains the 5+2 seating arrangement, with two small jump seats located at the rear. It gets an updated steering wheel, instrument dials, 2-DIN music system with a touchscreen display for top-end grades, cruise control, eight-way adjustable seats with lumbar support which are first in its segment.
