Exterior NA.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Happy with space and comforts in the cabin.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox After having done 80K engine feels still new with a lot of punch left in it yet. It fetches me 10-11 average with AC on city roadS and approx 13-14 on highways. Gear box seems to be allright, but the clutch.....tight as ever. Some times it takes a bit of effort to put her on reverse. I will have to shift to a different gear and then back to reverse (happens at random once in a while).
Ride Quality & Handling Inspite of it's size the handling is pretty cool, power steering is quite effective. Ride quality is also good except for the bumpy experience when the load is less. Pick up and thrust is awesome. atleast for a guy who was Driving a M800 initially.
Final Words From my 8 months experience with the beast, i understand it is for people who are passionate about driving a SUV and are ready to compromise a bit on the luxuries of a sedan. I have not spent any thing cosiderable on the maintenance except for the routine ones (oil, lubes,filters etc).
Areas of improvement Suspensions, Plastics quality.
Good visibility, spacious, the confidence it gives you on the road, tough and ruggedNot very good quality plastics used for interiors, suspensions squeal and needs often lubrication,
