A test mule of the KUV100 NXT automated manual transmission (AMT) has been spotted testing in Mangalore. The badges on the tailgate and front fender indicate that the AMT is likely to be offered on the K8 variant of the diesel version of the KUV100 NXT.

Apart from the "autoSHIFT" badge, compact SUV looks similar to the standard car. It rides on multi-spoke alloy wheels and has rear parking sensors.

The 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder diesel engine in the KUV100 NXT makes 77 BHP @ 3,750 rpm and 190 Nm of torque @ 1,750-2,250 rpm. The petrol engine which puts out 82 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 115 Nm @ 3,500-3,600 rpm. It is unclear whether Mahindra will offer the AMT with the petrol engine.
