Real value for money

Exterior Bigger and smarter than  comparable SUV's.  Head turner. Lokks great with LED lights on at night. From the side it looks sleeker than the bulky Fortuner that I test drove a number of times before settling for Rexton.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)Cabin space and seats are comfortable. 2nd row is spacious and very comfortable. Third row is low and only comfortable for children. AC is good. Rear AC for third row is also v good.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine has sufficient power I once drove into quicksand-like mud and the R front wheel got stuck. I was wondering what to do when a passerby advised me to put it in reverse gear. He said AWD drive would pull it out. It did and easily.

I am getting a fuel average of 10.5 km/l in city driving with AC. 11.5 on highways. It really depends how you handle the vehicle. frequent /sudden acclereration and brakings are pointless in city driving. A bike is perhaps better for one thus predisposed. The 2nd service at 20000 is due. Economy should improve.

 

Ride Quality & Handling There is no cabin noise really. No vibrations. Suspension is so smooth it gives a sedan-like comfort. Brakes are awesome. There is a lag in pick-up on auto-drive that can be offset in manual mode. However I always prefer the autodrive mode.

 

Final Words Really value for money. My friend wanted me to buy his Fortuner. I asked him to test drive Rexton. I said I'd do whatever he said after he test drove rexton. Post test-drive he told me to buy Rexton. I am satisfied !
