Familiar looks aside, the NuvoSport is Mahindra’s newest and most premium compact SUV to take on the Brezza and EcoSport

NuvoSport- Mahindra's Newest And Most Premium Compact SUV

The NuvoSport looks like a major facelift to the Quanto. It isn’t. Except for the side panels, a few sheet metal borrowings and the 3-cylinder mHawk engine and manual gearbox, it is an all-new SUV built on a new chassis. It now comes with an AMT gearbox as well. Why the familiar styling then when Mahindra could have penned a completely fresh and contemporary design? Besides costing a lot less to develop, the Quanto/Xylo design is recognisable among the masses so Mahindra must believe in its recall factor.

So what is new? First the styling – the grille is new and conforms to Mahindra’s new design language, the headlamps give a glimpse of the Quanto but is new as well and gets a strip of LED DRLs above the main light cluster. There’s a functional air scoop on the bonnet feeding air to the intercooler and further accentuating the high set stance are a pair of fog lamps on the front bumper. The front end now does look better resolved. The cladding around the compact SUV is not body coloured anymore and that makes the NuvoSport look a lot leaner. The five spoke alloys are chunkier and more desirable than before. The tail lamps are a clearlens set up and merge with the blacked out pillar unless illuminated. Considerable effort has gone into the re-styling of this compact SUV.
