    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior 

    Great looks. It looks macho and gives a sedan feel from front. The placement of light is stylish. The paint quality is good and makes the car look sturdy. The back is also quite attractive.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     The best part is the car comes loaded with features such as internally adjustable electric OVRMs. Very good space in both rear and front and can comfortably sit five adults, attractive digital dashboard (but surprised not to find temperature indicator). Front power windows (although the placement of button is unusual and sometimes irritating). The AC is quite powerful and cools the car quite fast. There is no place beside the clutch. So after releasing it, you have to place your foot below it. Can be irritating in city driving, but will get used to it.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     The pickup is great and smooth. Gear changing is convenient. The worst part is the fuel economy. I was promised 18 kmpl and it gives around 12 kmpl. which is pathetic. 

    Ride Quality & Handling

     Ride quality is enjoyable but tends to roll on bumps. No anti roll device is provided. It can be quite strenuous on bad roads. On highway the pickup, speed and overall ride is very good. Even at high speeds you do not feel out of control. My father, who is 72, loves it for its easy maneuverability and riding comfort.

    Final Words

     A good value of money car, if you ignore the fuel efficiency.

    Areas of improvement  

     Fuel efficiency, roll problem and position of power windows switch.
