    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior Appealing, great work by MnM design team, excellent ground Clarence and static bend headlight feature is impressive. Lotus petal alloys are great.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good looking interiors though plastics could have been better. Features are impressive and few are very useful. Excellent A/c that cools cabin with in few mins.

    Mine is w6 model that comes with mono color infotainment (mild bluish white color one) and fabric seats. We always preferred fabric seats as they were more comfortable than leather ones during jouney and we did not like more reddish multicolor infotainment in w8 model.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gear shiftbetween first and second gear is not comfortable though it's getting better after 1000 km run. Other gears are pretty smooth. Power is pretty good, there is slight lag in second gear and needs gear shift.

    Surprisingly we got 15kms per liter during long drive and in the city we are getting 13-14 Kim's (with a/c always on). Cruise controls works superb and very comfortable on highways.

    Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good. There are no vibrations at all and gives me a feel of driving a petrol car. Handing is just fine, turning radius is poor. Abs is not that effective. brakes requires major rework as it fails to gives a feel of disc brakes.

    Final Words  Great vehicle from mahindra stable. Low priced but a great vehicle and Far better than Innova, endeavor, fortuner which we tried before going for this vehicle 

    Areas of improvement Brakes, quality of speakers, plastics. Would have charged more for this vehicle and improved quality of materials. Automatic version with sun roof would be great.
