The perfect compact SUV

The buying experience was okayish, it was two years ago, the sales were high and Maruti hardly did anything to sell the vehicle. Had to follow up and it was good enough The riding experience is really good. It feels more like a fun hatchback rather than a tall SUV. Has good ground clearance but the stiffer set suspension means it doesn't roll much on the corners. The light weight and efficient engine gives good fuel efficiency too. The ride and handling is a balanced package and not too far from the eco sport. Looks are boxy and standard SUV. The tires are large enough and wide. The boxy designeans that the interior space is nice you get good seats, maybe a bit less on under thigh support all around but nice width and really nice headroom. Three people on the rear seat is possible and seat travel on the from seat is good for all height. The engine feels a bit underpowered on a hill station drive specially when loaded up as we had issues climbing ooty with 5 people and luggage onboard but on the highway the engine is good, in gear performance is adequate maybe in city the turbo lag would be an issue Maintenance has been mostly hassle free, true Maruti style. Parts cost are reasonable, service is mostly nice and follow ups too. Service I tervals are far apart Pros Space, even the boot which looks small on paper but is much more usable Milage Over all handling and ride Cons Boxy design Ride a bit unsettling on lower city speeds Nvh levels both engine and wind noise on higher speeds
