Exterior Excellent styling with clean lines and an aristocratic look. Appealing from all angles.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Great features, very spacious interiors and extremely comfortable seating. The car now comes with automatic climate control (I have the older version though), all-round power windows, digital driver information panel, in-dash AM/FM/CD player with four speakers and two tweeters, seat-belt warning chime for the driver, rake and reach adjustable steering, cooled glove box, central locking with key etc. My dealer in Pune offered remote central locking as a free accessory.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good performance except for the slightly sluggish second gear. I have driven the car for more than 6,500 kms (sedate driving). Fuel economy: 14.7 in Pune, 18.1 on Pune-Mumbai Expressway (100% AC at level 1).
Ride Quality & Handling Good handling and stability, brakes are very good. Ride could have a been a touch softer. Ground clearance too can do well with some improvement.
Final Words An excellent car, a VFM product with lots of space, features and comfort.
Areas of improvement Power in second gear, ground clearance.
