    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior Excellent styling. A head-turner in the road.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features - great (love that blue tooth connectivity, voice command etc). 

    Space - 1st & 2nd row are great (better than my earlier Scorpio). However, last row is good for kids only.

    Two pain points :

    1. The central console gives so much glare in the sun. They should have used a matt finish. So is the two metallic strips around the central console.

    2. There seems to be a more than required gap between the pedals & floor. Not sure whether this is becauae I have adjusted the seat hight. However, not a comfortable stance while driving.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good. Same / better than Scorpio.  Fuel economy seems better (it shows 14+ for me, yet to checlk it after 1st service).

    Ride Quality & Handling Super.

    Final Words Best SUV I've seen in recent past - from the value for money & other features.

    Areas of improvement

    1. Central console colour / glare needs certain improvement

    2. The sensitivity of touch screen should certainly be better. It works only in cerain angle

    3. The floor to pedels hight seems to be more (not sure though).

    4. Availability of accesories should be better. Still haven't got my foot rest & difficult for elders to 'climb' the car.

    Style, Power, value for moneyBoot space (with all seats on).
