About

The Mahindra NuvoSport Diesel N6 is a feature-rich compact SUV that replaces the Quanto in Mahindras lineup. It is powered by a 1.5-litre mHawk100 diesel engine, producing 100bhp and 240Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or an optional AMT. The vehicle stands out for its spacious interior, with seating for seven people, although the third-row jump seats are best suited for children due to limited space and the absence of a rear AC vent. Safety features include ABS with EBD, and airbags are standard on all but the base variant. The NuvoSport also comes with driving modes like Power and Eco, and features such as cruise control and park assist in the top variants. With its robust build, high ground clearance, and decent fuel efficiency, the NuvoSport is a solid choice for families and adventure enthusiasts, despite some ergonomic and handling issues.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mahindra NuvoSport Diesel N6 is a mixed bag when it comes to overall performance and features. On the positive side, it boasts an impressive 1.5-litre mHawk100 diesel engine that delivers 100bhp of power and 240Nm of torque, making it quite peppy and enjoyable to drive, especially in Power mode. The interior space is another strong point, with ample head, shoulder, and knee room, along with a generous 412 litres of luggage space that can be expanded to 850 litres. However, the ride and handling leave much to be desired, with pronounced side-to-side movement and body roll, making it less than ideal for quick cornering. Additionally, the braking feels lacking in feedback, and the 5-speed manual transmission has a long throw and rubbery shift quality. Despite these drawbacks, the NuvoSports robust build and high ground clearance make it a reliable choice for rough Indian roads.

Price

The Mahindra NuvoSport Diesel N6 is priced around Rs. 9.01 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and insurance, the price can escalate to approximately Rs. 10.5 lakh to Rs. 11 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the NuvoSport competitively against other sub-4 metre SUVs like the Ford EcoSport and Maruti Vitara Brezza. However, the value for money is somewhat compromised by the absence of certain features like climate control and a cooled glovebox, which are common in this segment. Nonetheless, the N6 variant offers a good balance of features and performance, making it a viable option for those seeking a spacious and powerful compact SUV.

Latest Updates

Tuesday, 20 August 2024 01:14 PM The Mahindra NuvoSport Diesel N6, a mid-level trim, has been discontinued by the company. This decision comes as part of Mahindras strategy to streamline its product lineup. The N6 variant was known for its balance of features and price, offering amenities like electrically adjustable ORVMs and a rear wash and wipe system. I think this move might affect the loyal customer base of the NuvoSport.

Sunday, 16 April 2023 12:30 AM The Mahindra NuvoSport Diesel N6 was priced at around Rs. 9.01 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) before its discontinuation.

It also featured standard ABS with EBD and optional airbags for the base variant. I believe the pricing was competitive, making it a good option in its segment.

Friday, 10 February 2023 10:55 AM In terms of design, the Mahindra NuvoSport Diesel N6 boasted a robust and rugged look, typical of Mahindras SUV lineup. It came in six color options, including Regal Blue, Mist Silver, and Fiery Black. The exterior design was enhanced with features like fog lamps and a chrome-tipped exhaust. I think the design held its ground against competitors.

Friday, 25 November 2022 11:16 PM The Mahindra NuvoSport Diesel N6 had a certified mileage of 17.45 kmpl, making it a fuel-efficient option for those looking for a diesel SUV.

These features made the N6 a comfortable choice for daily driving. I think these features were well thought out for the price segment.

Friday, 20 May 2022 05:40 AM The Mahindra NuvoSport Diesel N6 competed directly with other sub-4-meter SUVs like the Maruti Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport. Its competitive pricing and feature list made it a strong contender in the market. I believe it held its own against these rivals.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 11:41 AM The Mahindra NuvoSport Diesel N6 offers a certified mileage of 17.45 kmpl, which is respectable for its class. This mileage, combined with a 60-litre fuel tank, translates to a range of over 1,000 km on a single tank, making it a practical choice for long road trips. While the Eco mode reduces power to around 72bhp, it helps in improving fuel efficiency, although it makes the vehicle feel underpowered. Overall, the mileage is a significant factor in its favor, especially for those concerned about running costs.
