3.0 Fuel Economy | 4.0 Value for Money |
Exterior From Front its a Mercedes look alike. Sharp curvy lines helps the dynamic design. Body color handle, Bumper and mirror looks awesome. From back it resembles with Swift a bit.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Great features such as Gear shift indicator, Nice Music system with good bass and treble response, USB and Aux. The new Silver finish over music system and AC vents looks great. Seats are very comfortable and fabric quality is good. The rear seats are spacious and comfortable. Theres is sufficient space for front and rear leg room. AC cooling is also up to the mark. However Finishing could have been little better with such a premium pricing.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Although I am a bit weak in this area being new to driving, will put in what i felt. Engine is quiet and hardly heard from inside. The car engine heats up quickly after half an hour of learning driving (mostly on 1st and 2nd gear). I guess this is the normal behavior. The demo guy said this will become normal after first service. The power of the engine was found adequate over slops and during revving it up. Fuel Economy is a grey area for me so far hence will surely post updates soon on this. Gearbox is smooth and better than swift.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good. It gets bumpy sometimes while passing over some sharp speed breakers. I guess this is expected from any normal cars. Handling could be bit of a problem due to its class leading width, however "practice makes man perfect".
Final Words Undoubtedly its a nice Premium Hatch. I am very happy with my decision.
