4.0 Fuel Economy | 5.0 Value for Money |
Exterior
Looks Good. Could have been more fluidic like Amaze/Verna. Inbuilt rear parking sensor helps a lot..
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
S 1.2 is not the top version. Still its jam packed with various features like 2 din Music system, Rear AC Vent (not a fan blower), Steering mount controls, Bluetooth Connectivity. All in all, a very good value for money. Similar features in Amaze/Dzire would require extra investment of 1 lac INR.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Completed 3000 KM today. Engine performace has been quite good till now. Fuel economy somehow has been on better side. I receive 16 KM/L in city and 18.5 KM/L on highways. Perhaps because I drive at constant 40-55 KM/hr in city even if I have to take slighly longer routes and never exceed 90 KM/Hr on highways. Gear Box can be a bit smoother but perhaps slight roughness may go away after first service due this week.
Acceleration is less than expected. Perhaps it has to do with 3 cylinder engine. It works for me as I am no race freak. Still, 4 cylinder engine would have been better
Ride Quality & Handling
Excellent handling. Smooth braking.
Final Words
A real value for money with respect to Dzire and Amaze in similar price range. I should have go for one version higher as for extra investment of 20 K, I could have ABS and Alloy wheels. No regrets
Areas of improvement
Could have been more fluidic like Amaze/Verna.
4 cylinder engine would have been better
Good Fuel Economy, Zero noise, rear ac, Steering ControlsCould have been more fluidic, 3 cylinder engine
