BRV - FEELS LIKE A CAR, SEATS LIKE AN MPV & PERFORMS LIKE AN SUV

I had visited Honda dealership to check on Honda city but was impressed with the practicality of BRV. 7 seater useful for typical Indian family comprising of your parents & kids. 2nd row for parents & 3rd for kids. Best seat configuration 2R slides n reclines, 3R reclines. Sufficient boot with all 3Rows up for weekend luggage. Occassionally for larger luggage carrying one has options of folding 2R n 3R. Butter smooth, silent n powerful 117hp petrol engine with nicely matched 6 speed gear ratios. Honda has lowered the 1st gear speed ratio for higher wheel torques for light off roadings, after all it is categorised as SUV. On Mumbai Pune expy I rarely feel the need to shift lower from top gear. I mean one can cruise between 80 kmph to 140 kmph in the top gear only, there is sufficient backup torque available from engine. The car does 0-100 kmph in some 11 seconds max even when fully loaded The high ground clearance of 210mm is practically useful for Indian roads & off roads. Suspensions are stiff at lower speeds but at higher speeds they flatten out the bumps & pot holes very effectively for smooth & stable rides for even 3R seatings. Steering is effective & perfectly balanced for response at all speeds. Michelin primacy tires as factory fit are the best, it offers excellent wet n dry grip, quick braking. Very quick n comfortable auto ac plus roof ac vents, cools the entire cabin in even peak of summers. Very roomy cabin & large glass areas never makes you feel clusterophobic, even in 3rd Row. Overall fuel efficiency is decent of around 10-11 kmpl in city & 15-17 on highways, considering the power offered by this car. The car is definitely safe & has 4+ stars ASEAN NCAP safety rating. There are small lacuna like rear view camera, touchscreen not offered in V variants but these are some things which can be dealt in accessories. Overall it's worth to go for this car.
