Excellent VFM

 

I have clockd around 10000 kms in this car by now, Its the best car in the segment, in the matter of pickup, looks, service etc. Still they could've positioned the number plate on the rear bumper instead of ruining the tailgate.

 

Exterior Paint quality is very bad for White color. so better to choose metalic colors. Head light style is better than old alto. New grille gives it a sporty look.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is somewhat as same in the old standard alto, not much improvement in that.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent pickup and good response to throttle pedal. Gear shift is not so smooth or not even close to that of i10.  Highly fuel efficient, Had a Trivandrum-Cochin-Trivandrum journey and I got a mileage of over 22 kmpl.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Steering feels more heavy than old alto, so is the handling. Ride quality is better.

 

Final Words Overall, this car is a very good pick. and excellent VFM.

 

Areas of improvement Interior styling, More space, better steering, 1/4 th of AC blows to the feet even if it's directed to face.

 

Improved pick up with A/C on. Good fuel economy, Style, good stability at 90-80 kmphLess spacious, rattling noises, Same old interiors as in std alto
