Sub 4 Meter SUV with no new engine

Exterior Styling is great. Big 16" wheels and broad 205 tyres look great which is a must. Nice stance.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious, good interiors. Somehow the all-black dash touches and feels like Dzire. Also, some features like which are common across MS are the same.

Front seats - good knee room and headroom. good visibility.

S Mounted controls, Neon Blue backlit gauge looks really cool.

Backseat: Shoulder room - very good 3 comfortable passengers. Better than Ecosport and TUV, but not as good as real big SUVs. Headroom good- decent enough no complaints here

Kneeroom: Good for sub-4 meter. Obviously, with pseudo SUV design could extend the wheelbase beyond 2500, as they have to increase Nose(hood) to give that look. 

Kneeroom same as ecosport and TUV. MS shud try to better things, not match things.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Havent driven, but we are pretty much aware of the 200DDIs in S-cross and other MS vehicle. With a body to wight ratio, the performance is expected to be same as S-cross 200.

Fuel economy boasted is 24, which is quite high for SUVs, but as we know this isnt a real one. But, we expected a more powerful engine to match the styling.

Ride Quality & Handling Havent driven! With very good ground clearance of 20cms, drive is expectedt to be comfortable. Handling of MS isnt par with VW, but it is still very good. Lets see.

Final Words Good Product! Slightly OVERPRICED! Base variant(LDI) is high by around 20-30k, Top variant (ZDI+) is Off by around 70-80k! With a completely Built in India from scratch, they should have priced it competetively.

Those who can afford 10L will pay 2L more to get a duster, and Those conservative Indians will go for Ertiga! Leaving them with young flaunty crowd.

Areas of improvement Pricing (for their own sake). For Indians like me, they should have built a better product! They know what all they have compromised.

Why MS keeps forgetting that they are the King of cheap dependable products (popular with Indians).

It is Good to Foray into New Territories, but NEVER Leave your Own FORT!
