CarWale's Opinion

Good Things	Usable three-row seating Comfortable to live with A good highway car	Design. Interior fit and finish. Feature loaded.	Imposing road presence Well-finished and spacious interiors Comfortable captain seats in second-row
Could be Better	Not a true-blue Safari Inconsistent quality Not the most fuel-efficient	Notchy gearshifts (MT). Inconsistent ride quality. Top-end trims are expensive.	No diesel-automatic option Inconsistent ride quality Petrol motor lacks punch
