tuv 300, the toughest

Exterior Look and Style: Yes, it indeed looks like a box but that's the military look - it gives the vehicle the rugged and strong look. But it's not that bad a look. Making it curvy would have defeated the purpose of a SUV.

Did a small test drive and found the seating to be comfortable. With the arm rest positioned correctly, the gear shifting was easy. But the gear itself seemed a bit tight but I cannot judge it at the moment because it was fairly a very small test drive.

Pickup: It was quick and I could feel the charge. Some reviews say it will reach 110 kms/hr very fast but above that it's slow, cannot and did not test that. But from my test drive, the pickup was indeed good and the steering was quite steady. I could go max only upto 70 km/hr due to the traffic, that too just reached 70 and slowed down.

All necessary features seemed to be available though personally I do not like the windows switches in the middle. Pricing is very less compared to the Creta and S-Cross, so that makes it more appealing. Would have loved to have the auto climate control, cruise control and push start. Push start is a must for such SUV's. Hopefully Mahindra will add it later.

Overall looks to be a winner! Exterior if not soo good but traditional.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are smashing,comfort like a plane.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It comes with hawk engine,with 90 bhp power ang gives me mileage of 18 kmpl.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good but it doesnt come with a cruise control

Final Words It is a tougest car, if it design is improved it will give competetion to bmw x1.

Areas of improvement Design should be changed.
