Based on official images of the KUV100, and dozens of spyshots, Indian Autos Blog's artist, Shoeb Kalania, has created a digital mockup of the rear-three-quarter view of the KUV100. As can be seen, the rendering incorporates the bold creases, the extending Evoque-inspired headlights and the Chevrolet Beat-like rear door handles which are also seen on the official images.

Mahindra confirmed that the KUV100 will debut the mFalcon engine family in the Indian market. The engines in question are three-cylinder 1.2-liter petrol and diesel units dubbed G80 and D75 respectively. The petrol engine features dual VVT, an aluminium engine block and promises 82 bhp and 114 Nm of torque.
