CarWale's Take

Good Things	Exterior styling Interior fit and finish Powertrain options and variants to suit all	Flamboyant styling - Great concoction of modern/youthful looks with a rugged stance Refined motors/gearboxes - Peppy/smooth performance, good refinement, frugal Easy to drive - Compact size, steering that's light with reasonable feedback Good quality - Quality and fit/finish are on par with segment expectations Boot capacity - Reasonably sized boot good for occupants to last seven days	Sprightly performance Feature-packed cabin Good-looking, affordable SUV
Could be Better	Inconsistent ride quality Some trims can get very expensive	Firm ride quality - Never feels settled, bounces at high speeds under full load Rear seat space - The rear bench is a squeeze for anything more than two adults Rear visibility - Is hampered by the chunky C-pillars and compact rear windscreen	Tight for three in the second row The boot has a high loading lip Cost-cutting is evident
