    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior

     Extremely funky and futuristic design with eye-pleasing cuts and creases. This car is a big fish in a small pond and will surely defend its crown for quite a time.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     Interiors are spacious for the front but a little disappointing at the back. This is, of course, a techy toy by the Detroit giant. Even the base model is loaded with satisfying features at a nominal price. The car is comfortable ,no issues with that, but I think the rear seats are a little more hard than required. But the alluring dashboard design was the main cause behind choosing the ES over Duster.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     Engine is quite responsive but there's a sharp notorious noise like that of a genrator when the diesel engine starts but then it goes smoothly. Its better to drive the car under 2000 rpm while the turbo kicks in around 1495rpm. Fuel economy is fine as an SUV and is around 18kmpl and no issue with gearbox too.  

    Ride Quality & Handling

     Ride quality is good but a little depressing than Duster's but still I am satisfied and the car always seems to be in control whenever driving in highways or roads(with bumps)😄

    Final Words

     I know I have got a complete value for money and I like it very much(because of its dark grey color also). There are some ifs-and-buts but its fine. Besides, I'm totally satisfied with my polite and responsive dealer

    Areas of improvement  

     That generator kind of a noise should be controlled. Other than that I don't have any problem

     

    responsive engine, lots of features, ultra light clutchbody roll, thick A pillar and that generator like noise on starting the oil burners
