like the two got along with others better than their own selves, and hence the
on-and-off relationship went into off mode.

it.Sushant-KritiSushant and Kriti display lovely chemistry at the trailer launch

Office.Sonam-AnandSonam Kapoor with Anand Ahuja.Salman Khan has never accepted
his relationship even when it was reported with Katrina Kaif, and now with Iulia
Vantur. It appears that the two are ready to go the Virushka way, as they do not
confirm but speculations of their exotic beach wedding (somewhere around June)
are going strong.Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, Sonakshi Sinha agrees are a
couple who don’t accept they are a couple. But their social media PDA suggests a
completely different tale.Karan Johar reportedly played cupid in his students
Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra’s life.Alia-SidharthSidharth Malhotra came in
with is rumoured girlfriend Alia Bhatt, driving her himself.
The stardom is a
black hole that takes you deep inside and makes you feel lonely. On the brighter
side, Natasha has become a part of Varun Dhawan’s family events. Most Bollywood
stars search for love here, but nobody accepts that they are in love.Socialites
like filmmaker Karan Johar (who is hosting a party today for all the singles of
B-Town) and actor Akshay Kumar play matchmakers here, and still, nothing comes
out in the open, with the fear of media making it a big ‘circus’ (as confessed
by Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in an interview held during their movie
‘Tamasha’s promotions). The two broke up but let nothing come in between them,
as they shot for ‘Ok Jaanu’ together, but like their relationship, the movie
also didn’t work out

There is an evident lag between shifts and even in manual
As is the case with most compact-SUVs of today, the NuvoSport gets a healthy
dose of cladding as well.To sum up, the NuvoSport&Cube
vacuum space bags Factory039;s interior is tad disappointing. Do not exceed
the legal speed limit and it does just fine. The trademark Mahindra 'toothy'
grille, air vent on the hood and the large bumper with a faux # skidplate lend
it some aggression.
The tall height and the narrow snout is still quirky. Boot
space is fairly generous — rated at 412 litres.Ride quality is typically
Mahindra. That said, corners aren't the NuvoSport's forte at all. Mahindra was
amongst the first to work around it and not crib about the regulations. Subtle
updates like the smoked out tail-lamps and the new cover for the spare gel well
with the overall theme.36 lakh (ex-showroom, Thane).
The new 16" alloy wheels
are a welcome change.76 lakh (ex-showroom, Thane) that one would pay — the
TUV300 feels a lot more value for money in comparison. If you are keen on buying
the AMT variant over the 5-speed manual, bear in mind that the AMT's job is to
relieve your left leg of its clutch duties — nothing more. While we are on the
subject, we wish Mahindra had equipped it with a reverse camera. But that did
not stop them from having a go again.
On a highway stint, there's enough torque
in reserve for it to not feel breathless. How different is it from its sibling
More importantly, is there more to it than the fancy dress Let's take a
look!DesignLet's not mince words here.The most noticeable addition is the 6. If
you have Size 11 shoes like I do, prepare to be slightly uncomfortable. It isn't
exactly quick off the line. Drive it with a steady and light right foot and the
AMT makes the drive a relatively fuss-free experience.
Just like the Renault
Duster, one cannot buckle up with the driver side armrest in
place.PerformanceUnder the aggressively styled bonnet, lies a 1. As was the case
with the Xylo and the old Scorpio, the NuvoSport too does a shimmy on start-up
and shut-down. Moreover, there aren’t seatbelts or lap belts either. We'd have
loved some more feedback from the pedal and a little less nose-diving under hard
braking.
Thankfully, it now gets a new chunky steering that houses buttons for
the audio and the calls.The NuvoSport is ideal for a broken road infested city
like Mumbai. The newer chassis and the updates make the NuvoSport what the
Quanto should have been in the first place.5-litre, 3-cylinder engine called the
'mHawk100'.
It rocks from side to side, which might be slightly uncomfortable
for the occupants.The side and the rear remain virtually unchanged. It sits
flush with the centre console at an almost upright angle, because of which using
the system on the go isn't the easiest thing to do. All three occupants will
have sufficient knee-room and shoulder-room. This particular top-spec N8 AMT
variant doesn't seem to justify the INR 9. The other key issue here is quality.
The pedals too, are slightly off-set to the right. Mahindra has also gone ahead
and added leatherette (faux leather) upholstery and an updated instrument
cluster to the package as well. It shivers, and one can feel vibrations on the
pedals and the gearstick. Of course, it is a 5+2 seater, just like the TUV300.
It forms an eyebrow over the headlamps and does look cool. Also, if you are
close to six feet tall, you will find you forehead brushing against the
C-Pillar. We expected Mahindra to price the NuvoSport aggressively, undercutting
the Brezza and the EcoSport substantially. We're sure the manual will be much
better in this regard. Weaving in and out of traffic isn't its forte thanks to
the size, but the steering does take the sting out of it. It is carried over
from its sibling, the TUV300 and runs a different state of tune.
There are a
couple of ergonomic issues as well. It takes a good second to realize there's an
urgent need for power. Mahindra was amongst the first to work around it and not
crib about the regulations. However, you will have to plan your overtakes. We'd
recommend you use the third row only when it is an absolute necessity.What the
NuvoSport brings in abundance, is space.Drive the NuvoSport around and you'd
quickly realize that it is at ease pottering around the city calmly. On a
related note, they are bright and grab attention even under the noon sun. The
engine comes alive with a characteristic 3-cylinder clatter.VerdictThe NuvoSport
is a much better package than the Quanto — that's a given.
The sub 4-metre rule
has been a curveball for most manufacturers. Like we said, maintain a steady
right foot, don't force it to pick-up its frock and run — and it does just fine.
The power steering is light at city speeds that make parking and maneuvering the
NuvoSport an easy task. You can recline the second row and lounge, but you will
need to tuck the third row of seats away to do so. Our favourite element, have
to be the LED daytime running lamps. The only complaint here is the backrest
angle. Also, the accelerator and the brake pedal are closely spaced. Considering
it goes up against the likes of the Vitara Brezza and the Ford EcoSport, we wish
Mahindra had brought a better package to the table. But like we said — that's
not the point! We have to say — turbo lag is well under control and power
delivery is linear. While Mahindra did a decent job with the KUV100 and the
TUV300, the quality of materials, fit and finish in the NuvoSport can be termed
average at best.After tasting success with the TUV300, Mahindra has now slid the
NuvoSport into the fray. After tasting success with the TUV300, Mahindra has now
slid the NuvoSport into the fray. If space, power, and a cushiony ride are your
key criterions, the NuvoSport is the one to pick!. The seats themselves aren't
all that comfortable and do not hold you in place. The Quanto's interiors looked
outdated even back then, and carrying the same design in 2016 is a bit of a
no-no.The 240Nm of torque kicks in at a relatively low 1600rpm, which makes
in-city driveability an absolute breeze. Sadly, that isn't the
case.InteriorMahindra might have just made a huge blunder by not updating the
design inside. Seating three in the rear bench is hardly a task too. The
suspension is soft and will iron out bumps and potholes at low speeds — very few
filter into the cabin. Treat it like an XL sized commuter, and it won't
disappoint. But, on the whole, the design is cohesive and digestible now. With
100 horses and 240Nm of torque at its disposal, the NuvoSport is the most
powerful SUV in its segment. Space in the first two rows is more than adequate,
even for someone who isn't in the best of shapes.
There is an evident lag
between shifts and even in manual, the gear changes take a second to reflect.
You can glide over the potholes and irregularities without worrying too much.
There's no running away from the fact that the NuvoSport when viewed side on,
still looks like a Xylo with a chopped derriere.2-inch touchscreen infotainment
system, that is a straight lift from the Ssangyong Rexton. Look towards the
Vitara Brezza or the Ford EcoSport if you intend on attacking the twisties. The
compact-SUV rides on meaty 215 section tyres that give it a butch stance.
Braking power is adequate, but the pedal does leave you guessing at times. The
Mahindra believes in chugging along calmly. Yes, it scores high on practicality
and space — but leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to quality and
features. The AMT is slow to respond with the throttle pinned to the floor. It
is simply a bit too upright for our liking. The new chassis from the Scorpio has
helped contain the body roll a fair bit. The dimensions are nearly identical to
the outgoing Quanto. Now, we'd agree that the initial offerings such as the
Verito Vibe and the Quanto were rather forgettable.The biggest and most
noticeable change is the reworked face. The front profile no longer reminds us
of the old Xylo. It does not roll as much as the Quanto would. The dead pedal
too is quite thin and is barely usable if you have large feet. You do not get
that surge of boost like you would, say in the Vitara Brezza.Mahindra was
amongst the first to work around it and not crib about the regulations.
At
highway speeds, the ride is slightly choppy. Prices for the NuvoSport start at
INR 7. There is absolutely no point trying to extract performance out of it —
especially from the AMT variant. Like most automated manuals, the 'autoshift'
gearbox on the NuvoSport doesn't do much to suppress shift-shocks. The Quanto
was a bit of an oddball, wasn't it Thankfully, the NuvoSport isn't as
outlandish. Rearward visibility is an issue due to the tall height and the thick
C-Pillar
