    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior Def scores high on exteriors looks as it does give you a feeling a muscular, dominant and stylish SUV, has good paint work, neat fit & finish, liitlle overdose of cuts on the bumper with no options of a installing a bull bar currently in the front, very effective  head lights and turn signals well integrated, the door handles will take a while to get used to and does give a feeling  that one needs to handle with care, nice cuts and curves all across. little worrying given that siezable portion of the vechile is fibre and not sure how would in handle small hugs from companions on roads.

    Overall comes acrioss  well designed SUV, definately the best so far from the indian stable given the price one pays for it.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Have only sat on the front seats and not for long hours, during this time fely quie comfy, the 3 rd row seats are only meant for kids or someone who you are not very fond of, disappointing on the quality of plastics and their longetivity, the instrument panel lights up brilliantly  but  the temp guage cover feels that it is without a glass covering (got the same checked with dealership on delivery) hand brakes ackwardly placed and takes a good hand to get the same released (buttons), Good info system but again lill weiry on the robustness of the touch screen, average leathers on seats and carpets  are of average quality. the ambience red light fails to amuse me and when switched on gives a feeling for a dim lit bar... overall happy with the interiors.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Good,Fuel economy best with 14.7 KM per litre for the 200 kms i ve driven so fat, gearbox little noggy/stiff but assuming its because it is still new and also need to get habituated to it.

    Ride Quality & Handling Decent for the city as I cannot comment on roads less tarvelled (highways).

    Final Words Happy to own for the given price and proud that its rolled out of indian stable :)

    Areas of improvement Plastic and leathers, back seats postioning and handbrakes.

    Good road presence, exteriors, neatly designed , brilliant fuel economy, value for MoneyPlastic quality in interiors, Hand brake position, and interior exterior color combination
