Mahindra NuvoSport Automatic N8

About

The Mahindra NuvoSport Automatic N8 is a compact SUV that replaces the Mahindra Quanto. It boasts a spacious interior, with the ability to seat seven people comfortably, thanks to its clever interior packaging. The vehicle is built on Mahindras third-generation platform, which is a body-on-frame chassis, making it suitable for tougher terrains. The N8 variant comes with a range of features including a 6.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, reverse park assist, cruise control, and safety features like two front airbags and ABS. The 1.5-litre mHawk diesel engine produces 100bhp and 240Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed AMT gearbox. While the AMT transmission has its limitations, it is convenient for city driving. The NuvoSport also offers ample storage spaces and a high commanding driving position, making it a practical choice for those looking for a versatile and feature-rich compact SUV.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mahindra NuvoSport Automatic N8 is a mixed bag when it comes to overall performance and user experience. On the positive side, it offers exceptional interior space, making it one of the best in its class for seating seven people comfortably. The vehicle is built on Mahindras third-generation platform, which is a body-on-frame or ladder frame chassis, suitable for tougher terrains. However, the AMT transmission, while convenient for city driving, lacks the punch and refinement expected from an automatic gearbox. The shifts are slow, and the acceleration is sluggish, particularly noticeable in auto mode. Additionally, the build quality and refinement are areas where Mahindra still needs to improve. Despite these drawbacks, the NuvoSport N8 comes with a range of features like cruise control, park assist, and safety features such as two front airbags and ABS, making it a viable option for those prioritizing practicality and safety.

Price

The Mahindra NuvoSport Automatic N8 was priced around Rs 9.87 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi when it was launched. On-road prices would vary depending on the state and local taxes, but you can expect to add around Rs 1-1.5 lakh to the ex-showroom price, bringing the total to approximately Rs 11.37 lakh to Rs 11.87 lakh. This pricing positions the NuvoSport N8 competitively in the compact SUV segment, offering a balance of features and space at a reasonable cost. However, its important to note that prices may have changed since its launch, so its advisable to check current market rates.

Latest Updates

Friday, 15 September 2023 01:48 PM The Mahindra NuvoSport Automatic N8, the top variant of the NuvoSport, has been discontinued by Mahindra. This decision was likely due to the vehicles poor market performance and the companys focus on other models. I think this move was necessary to streamline their product lineup.

Monday, 20 June 2022 10:54 AM The NuvoSport Automatic N8 was priced at around Rs. 10.42 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), making it one of the more expensive options in its segment. Despite its features, it failed to gain significant traction in the market. I believe the pricing was a bit steep for what it offered.

Sunday, 10 April 2022 09:33 PM The Mahindra NuvoSport Automatic N8 came equipped with a 1.5-litre diesel engine, producing 100 bhp and 240 Nm of torque. It also featured an AMT (automated-manual transmission) for ease of driving in urban conditions. This made it a decent choice for city driving, but it lacked the punch for long highway trips.

Friday, 25 February 2022 10:13 PM One of the standout features of the NuvoSport Automatic N8 was its safety package, including ABS with EBD, and airbags as standard. This made it a relatively safe option in its class. I think safety features like these are crucial and should be standard across all variants.

Saturday, 15 January 2022 11:40 AM The NuvoSport Automatic N8 boasted a range of comfort features such as power steering, power windows, and a multi-function steering wheel. It also had cruise control and parking sensors, making it a comfortable ride. However, the interior space was not as generous as some of its competitors.

Saturday, 20 November 2021 06:32 AM In terms of design, the NuvoSport Automatic N8 had a distinctive look with its bold front grille and aggressive styling. However, it was criticized for its boxy design and lack of modern appeal. I think a more contemporary design could have helped it appeal to a wider audience.

Thursday, 30 September 2021 11:07 PM The Mahindra NuvoSport Automatic N8 had a seating capacity of 7, making it a viable option for larger families. However, the third-row seats were not very spacious, which was a drawback. I believe that if Mahindra had optimized the space better, it could have been a stronger contender.

Friday, 16 July 2021 01:02 AM The fuel efficiency of the NuvoSport Automatic N8 was certified at 17.45 kmpl, which was decent for its segment. However, real-world mileage varied, and some owners reported lower figures. I think fuel efficiency is a critical factor, and Mahindra could have worked on improving it.

Thursday, 20 May 2021 07:50 PM The NuvoSport Automatic N8 competed with other sub-4-meter SUVs like the Maruti Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport. Despite its features, it struggled to match the sales of these competitors. I believe that better marketing and positioning could have helped it gain more market share.

Wednesday, 10 March 2021 08:06 AM Mahindra had introduced the NuvoSport as a replacement for the Quanto, aiming to capture a larger share of the compact SUV market. However, it did not quite live up to expectations. I think the transition from Quanto to NuvoSport was not as smooth as Mahindra had hoped.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 11:43 AM The Mahindra NuvoSport Automatic N8, powered by a 1.5-litre mHawk diesel engine, offers decent mileage considering its size and capabilities. While exact figures can vary based on driving conditions, you can expect an average mileage of around 12-15 kmpl in city driving and up to 18 kmpl on highways. This makes it a reasonable choice for those concerned about running costs, especially for those who plan to use the vehicle for both urban and long-distance travel.
