Premium Diesel hatchback in India Market

Complete booking & delivery experience from the dealership:

The booking experience was very smooth. We faced no problems as such. Just a hours delay while taking the car. The PDI was not offered.

Usage: The car is used only by me. Initially the car had a very high running- around 80 kms a day and now average 60 kms per day.

Exterior Good Design and different style. Good ground clearance.

Overall build quality and fit & finish: Maruti has matured over years.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ample space both in front and rear. It is easy for me to get in and out without hitting my head. Seats are comfortable to sit. Rear opening is taller. easier for Elderly people to enter and leave out.

The design is ergonomic and the best thing about this car is the positioning of the gear lever. It is extremely comfortable once you get used to it.

However the Front Seat Foam contour should be firm and should hold the driver and co-driver.

Cabin noise is Less. Good AC. Power steering is easier and normal to handle. Gear Knob position is good. No need to rub the passenger side seats during gear shift. Rear Passenger also has good view on the Road front.

I do not know what’s the issue but the ac filter stinks for sometime if I do not open the windows. But if I allow outside air then the smell subsides.

Rear Seat emits some rubbing sound which is sometimes irritating particularly when travelling alone.

AC: The ac is effective even during the hot summers of Chennai. But the flow of air is restricted. If the air vents are turned directly towards the person he/she is chilled to the bones. But the cabin takes some time to cool.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent performance of Engine and good in Fuel Economy Avg 19 Kmpl.

Ride Quality & Handling Good suspension and handling is easier. No issues till now in cornering during speeds.

Final Words I respect this car and able to feel the performance in fuel economy and comfort. Except for few missing features this car is otherwise good to own for first time buyers.

Areas of improvement Features are bit less like(Climate Control AC, Electrically adjustable ORVM, Integrated Audio system, Parking sensors)
