    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior I like the exterior though it's a boxy type. It gives a grand look with front bumpers. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very nice space in front and middle row. Thrid row is also fine. This comes with hand rest which I like the most and useful wile driving.  No storage in dashboard which is missing.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 85 hp is decent for city ride. But when I took for long drive, it ain't enough to overtake in the highways. Fuel economy withing in city gives always 10 km which is very poor.    I can drive this suv only in crawling traffic with fuel eco mode. Becos, the engine power is switched off completely in eco mode which is useless. In long trips, I could get around 12 km on an average when I drove it around 90-105 kmph with less gear shifts.

    After 5000 km, suddenly it started wobbling front and back during driving and engine started making noise like lorry. I stopped my tuv and checked but don't know how come suddenly that much noise coming from engine. I took it to service center next day. They said there are some compliants and recall is required for some problems. After 4 days, I got my vechile and now i am typing this review immediatly.

    Gear box is not that bad. But they are long gears but I got used to it within a month. 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th gear shifts are smooth and easy. But 2nd and reverse gear shifts are very hard all the time. I amd usiing this car for last 9 months. Still I am not comforable with 2nd and reverse gear shift.

    Ride Quality & Handling Not bad. I could dirve easily on humps. But since the height is more, comfort level is still low on city roads. With bumpy roads, this vechicle is very suitable. Handling wise, I could give 60% rating. Turning radius is high so can't easily park or take U turn etc.
