Drove a few feet through 12 inches of water and the car engine locked up. Insurance wont cover it and the company wants 15 lakhs to repair it. I am told that the air intake into the engine is placed way down which is obviously a design defect considering road conditions in India during monsoons.

Buying experience was good. Got the car within few days and went for a drive and the car performed brilliantly well. Around corners it's absolutely surefooted and composed. Doesn't feel it's 1800 kgms at all. Super agile and easy to drive. Mileage is also good. Gearbox is the best in segment. Super quick. Also the front and the 2nd row is absolutely comfortable and the space is abundant. The seats are wide and supportive. You won't be tired after a long journey. The power output on paper sounds little less but out on the road, flat out, it is wonderful. You can just zip through lanes. Safety wise it's 5 star euro n-cap car and has loads of active and passive safety features. It has 9 air bags which just makes you feel safe. Features are in abundance, smart and clever features like umbrellas, boot torch, door edge protectors come in handy. Actually on rainy days, I don't even carry an umbrella because the car has it and the slot is again intelligent as it can drain the water and your Suv remains clean. As far as looks are concerned, it looks so classy and the design language, like the superb, is underrated yet elegant. Regarding servicing, I have only one service done, and I have nothing to complain about. Fantastic car. It is actually quicker to 100 km/r than the Endeavour and Fortuner. I would highly recommend one. All in all it's indestructible and feels it's a segment above.
