Mahindra has plans to produce 18, 000 units of the NuvoSport annually. The Indian carmaker has launched the SUV at a price of Rs. 7.35 Lacs ( ex-showroom, Thane) . It is the second sub-4-metre SUV in Mahindra's lineup after the TUV300. The NuvoSport replaces the Quanto and sits above the TUV300 in terms of pricing and features. Mechanically, it is powered by a 1.5-litre diesel from the outgoing Quanto. The diesel motor churns out 100bhp of power and 240Nm of torque. The vehicle will return a certified mileage of 17.45 kmpl. Transmission options include a 5-Speed manual and an optional AMT ( automated-manual transmission) . The NuvoSport gets anti-lock braking system ( ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution ( EBD) as standard across the range. Airbags are optional for the base variant and standard on the others. Recently, the automaker has recalled the NuvoSport manufactured until June 2016 since its launch to fix a faulty fluid hose.
