4.0 Exterior | 4.0 Comfort | 3.0 Performance |
4.0 Fuel Economy | 4.0 Value for Money |
Exterior The taste of exteriors differ from person to person but beat has a good futuristic design, has some good colour options as well.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are spacious enougf so that 5 people of approx height 5 Feet 10 inches can sit comfourtably in it, although the boot space is not too much but its enough of keep 2 medium size bags. the dashboard look good , plastic quality is also good, AC performance is satisfactory in Peak summer I used it on 46 Centi and cooling was fast.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox You can't expect too much from a 1 litre diesel engine, although the car perform excellent in highways at 4th and 5th gear, but the power delivery and clutch response is slow in 2nd gear.
Although its still good to handle in city driving as well
Ride Quality & Handling Apart for the less power delivery in 2nd gear there is no issue in the car, engine noise is less as compared to other diesel cars, handling is smooth and car shockabsorvers are also good.
Final Words I have brough this car on june 2012 and had logged 3500 Km till now, i even took it for a drive from Gurgoan to Bhopal which is around 740 KM by road the car gave a milage of 20 KM/Ltr in that trip which was quite good since it was on peak summer and i used the AC in all journey with 4 passangers including driver. The car is good value for money keeping in mind that its diesel. Varriant cost same as the petrol variant of some hachbacks. Although if you are power hungry and want a car which is very powerfull like Swift you should not go for it since it is a 1 ltr engine not a 1.3 ltr engine like other cars
Areas of improvement 2nd gear responce, keyless entry.
Fuel Economy, Style, PriceLack of key less entry, Backside visibility is bit less, Lack of Car mileage indicator
