    DRIVING:
    Did a short drive once

    Exterior This is the best design of SUV available in India Market. It even beats the muscular look of Scorpio in style. The roadsider will looks back at least once it is such a beautiful look. The ground clearence is fantastic. The tyres size is good enough to give muscular look.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Here it is lacking in few points which makes Y/N for buying decesion. I have serched with all the aspects of this vehicle for almost 15 days. In terms of looks - photos, fuel economy, inetrnal and external features of all models, on road pricing, dealors & service centers, my budget and finally made up mind after searching different cars for almost 3 years. to have a test drive and let us give a cheque to dealor for finalization. I went to dealor in Pune and I got the test drive in 15 min. I took test drive and though it is a fantastic SUV available in India I rejected due to only one reason - the SPCE AND CPMFORT IS TOO POOR. I went with my 5 family members. 3 of them seat at 2nd row and beleieve me everybody's shoulder are touching each other and nobody could able to move still test drive complete. If you check the door sizes dash board they are coming almost 9-10 inches from all sides inside. The door sizes itself is almost 9-10 inches which is twice that other vehicles. Also the dash board from mirror is coming more than 18 inches inside which occupy all the space inside the vehicle. And hence though it is looking a beautiful spacious, confortable SUV it is actually not inside. If some body wants to drive this with only 2-3 members and to show off it is very nice SUV which makes impression on the roadsiders or friends and relatives but at the cost of your driving comfort and space for you and other family memebers. Hence choice is yours - SHOW OFF FOR OUTSIDER or OWN COMFORT CALL IS YOURS.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great Milage, No other vehicle in Inida having such milagein the same segment, Engine sound is even nothing in disel also. Smooth pick up. Smooth gear shifting. All these aspects are excellent in this vehicle.  

    Ride Quality & Handling  I took test drive of this model. Found the front view from mirror is the poorest one as the bonet of this vehicle is very straight and it is very difficult to see the road at least 6-8 ft ahead from bonet. The angles of Scorpio and other SUVs are towards road so view is ok buthere it is difficult. Otherwise it is one of the best vehicle I have driven till date. 

    Final Words CALL IS YOURS. DO NOT BOOK BEFORE YOU DRIVE WITH ALL YOUR 3 FAMILY MEMBERS SEATING ON BACK SIDE AND STILL THEY GAVE GREEN SIGNAL TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE ELSE IT WILL BE BIG DISAPPOINTMENT FOR YOUR CAR CHOICE. IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING MOSTLY 3 TO MAX 4 PEOPLE YOU CAN GO FOR IT.

    Areas of improvement Front View to driver / Bonet should be pressed down by slightly angled down / Inner space should be more by reducing the width of doors and dash board and of course reducing the size of luggaze space which is more than for seating people on second row.
