Mahindra is planning to introduce AMT variant of the KUV100 NXT soon. During the launch of the facelifted KUV100 in Mumbai, the automaker has revealed that it has plan to roll out the AMT variant of the car within next five or six months. As the brand said, it will study the demand from the customers and decide whether to introduce AMT or fully automatic gearbox to the car.
Considering that, Mahindra is aiming to boost the sales of the car with competitive pricing AMT would be the best option. Interestingly, the dual-pedal technology will be available in both the petrol and diesel powered Mahindra KUV100 NXT.

Speaking about the pricing, Mahindra KUV NXT comes priced between Rs. 4.39 lakh and Rs. 7.33 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai). The AMT variant would be priced slightly higher compared to the manual model. Expect the top petrol and diesel trims of the car to receive AMT options. Mahindra launched the KUV100 keeping the young buyers in focus and the AMT would be instrumental for the success of that strategy.
As Mahindra is aiming to increase its market share in the Indian passenger car market, it is relying on new launches, introduction of new technologies and upmarket features to the existing models. In that case, the Mahindra KUV100 AMT would play a crucial role in that strategy. We can expect the automaker to display the AMT variant at upcoming 2018 New Delhi Auto Expo.
