SUV on a budget

SUV on a budget. Always wanted a SUV for around 8 lacs. Quanto fits the bill. Huge space inside, great front seats, features. 3 cylinder engine tends to get rough sometimes, but good power. Excellent for city use. Slightly underpowered for highway cruising.

Biggest flaw is the ride. Passengers at the back will never be happy. Rear seat is also very upright. The vehicle rocks side to side. I wonder if I can chuck the rear jump seats and put in the rear bench from the Xylo which should be much more comfortable.

Another problem is that raissing the heavy vehicle on a jack is a serious workout. The jack itself is ill designed. It is too much of an effort. Will buy a new one soon. I also long for accessories in the market for the Quanto.

Final Words Overall a good buy only if you are OK with a choppy ride.

Areas of improvement Choppy ride, lateral movement, jack problem.
