This is my first car purchase, bought in Aug'22. I have to admit that driving the Nios after my initial experience of driving a Maruti, was far better than expected.
The car feels planted on highways and is peppy and nimble around the city. The cabin is surprisingly roomy for a car this size.
The engine performance is good and amt is very good considering it is an AMT. It is best suited to a sedate driving style. The suspension is slightly on the harder side but does the job quite well.
I have driven the car for over 14000 kms till date. In city I get an average of 16-19 kms and on highways, it goes up to 22.
The only con in my opinion is the headlight strength in low beam. It's weak and you may need the fog lights in addition or regularly switch between low and high beams based on traffic conditions.
