Excellent car for City

 

Exterior Most of my family meber were not liking looks of beat, but I was in favour. I was looking a car in budget of around 4lac or max'm 4.5 lac but same time also in favour of diesel due to my expected running per day.So except indica I could not thing anything else but same time such pathatic car like indica...never. I test drive new beat diesel..got impressed in every department it is not crammed car at all.Look are very modern and contemparary.head lamp well design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) front seat is better than other hatch in same category.rear is bit less but comfortable again.boot space is less than what other offering but for me it was not issue.60:40 split of rear seat was good option to compansate this.Interiors and plastic qualities are fantastic..much better than ritz and figo.music system looks good and descent sound out put.Gear work very smoothly.didn't find any problem in gear shift.Electronic pwr steering work so smooth n light that feel awesome. ground clearance good. shocker are good..work very well and give comfortable feeling on rough patches.I do not find cloustrphic feeling in rear seat.AC with climate controll ...very good. Hight adustable steering again good option.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I knew engine is small...surprisingly work very well...I do not find inadequate power..although I have not tried beyond 105km/hr.engine is very silent. my friend find it very silent and do noy believe diesel engine can be so silent and smooth...very good engineering. inside cabin hardly any noise appreciable.Gear box equally matched with engine performance.I have not driven adequately to comment upon fuel economy..I will be able to comment after some time.

Ride Quality & Handling I have drive Ritz/Swift/Indica but again I would say riding and handling is evenly matched with Ritz and swift..Swift has ebtter prformance..due to larger engine.

Fuel economy..so far I have driven 300km..18.5kmpl with Ac on more than 90% time.

Final Words It looks like small..but not small from inside.For small family and who mostly drive in city. think very good alternative option for I10/Ritz.

Areas of improvement Reduce price atleast 20 thousand of LT model or give ABS atleast with this price.Increase boot space.
