    Exterior Do I need to explain anything on this??? Everybody knows its complete aerodynamic shape makes it more attractive and beautiful car available in market. The features which I like the most is rear end of car and shark fin antenna...takes the car to upper level.  Addition to this I would like mention here is that this is the first car which has got engine under body tray. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are excellent. The moment you get into the car you will feel the quality difference of dashboar plastics, door trim, seats, every this is made up of top quality material. Talking more about the features the blue multi informational display is very good and provide sufficient required information at all time. The feature which delights me a lot is touch screen automatic climate control system.

    Space and Comfort:- Ha Ha Ha second row seat is place where actually you should be. Sufficient leg room and head room. just pull down the arm-rest and enjoy the ride in very relaxed mode.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Hmmmm... Here comes bit of disappointment. I found acceleration is the area where car is lacking behind (I am talking about only diesel engine car only) otherwise everything is just perfect. Smooth diesel engine. Very good fuel economy. I am getting 21-22 Kmpl in city and on highway its 23-24 kmpl (these values are from MID) Gearbox is smooth and easy to shift the gears.

    Ride Quality & Handling NVH levels are reduced significantly as compared to Amaze. But yes you will get the feel always that under the hood there is diesel engine is there. Improved GC makes the car to cross the speed bakers with ease. Suspension is very good. At low speed or even at high speeds the car just glides over the pot-holes.

    Handling: - it’s just perfect. Smooth and light steering gives you much more confidence on higher speeds as well, even above 100 kmph.

    Final Words If you are looking for smooth, steady drive with comfort then go for SV Diesel and if you want to have some fun on highways then don’t you dare to look at diesel version because petrol. It’s simply the best. 

    Areas of improvement Basic feature like 'Map light' should be provided for all variants.

    Contemprary dashboard, smooth gear shift, second row seating and ride comfort, mileagePoor acceleration. Sudden punch in acceleration is missing.....
