Mahindra’s next step into the compact UV segment brings the customers a known face in a new avatar. Yes, the Mahindra NuvoSport is finally here, launched with a starting price of INR 7.42 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The car is available in 4 trim levels and 2 gearbox options, making the total number of variants 6 for the newcomer.

The low sales of Quanto brought an end to the nameplate and Mahindra pushed in some fresh design elements for a better start for NuvoSport moniker. The front fascia has gone aggressive while nearly no change can be observed from the side as well as the rear profile. The taillights may make some change to the rear while the design is nothing new at all. The profile has been added with more rugged behavior everywhere, specially within the front bumper and overall cladding.
