A good car for the extended indian family

Looks like an extended hatchback and not a van. Reverse parking camera is a must for this vehicle. There is very little space in the boot, but you can free up a lot of space by folding the third row seat.

Can seat 7 average sized adults in comfort (5 foot 8 inches height). Dashboard plastics look good but rattle especially when driving on concrete roads. AC is very good even in the third row. Music system is good.

The petrol engine is very smooth but a little sluggish at low RPM. I am getting a Fuel Economy of 11 KM / L. Gearshift is smooth and effortless.

Ride Quality is exceptionally good. There is good feedback from the tyres and steering is precise. Cabin insulation should have been better to keep out engine and external noise.

Dont expect innova level comforts and engine performance since you are paying a lot less. The innova is a foot longer with better space in the third row. It is however a lot heavier with a lower mileage.

The dashboard rattling can become irritating at times. Maruti should pay serious attention to this problem since it is occuring in a new car.

Exterior looks good, Good colours, beige interiors, SpaciousSome rattling of the dashboard plastics, Absence of reversing sensors and camera and bluetooth
