    Exterior

    Looks can be appealing but think twice before going for it.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     Features - Ok with it.

     Space - Strictly for 5.5 and not more than that height or you might feel uncomfortable.

     Comfort - This is where maruti should look into. Comfortwise it is very bad. If you are travelling more than 50 kms in it, your spine + body will have pain. Seat erogonimcs needs to be worked on. Come on maruthi wake up....

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     Performance is adequate when a/c is switch off. Once full 5 persons on board the gearbox needs to be work on and you will feel engine loses it breath once past 80. Body roll is very much evident in taking twist and turns at all speeds.

     Fuel Economy - A decent 10 - 15 with a/c on with two members on board.

     Gearbox works the job alloted to it.

    Ride Quality & Handling

     Ride Quality - Ok with Apollo tyres but loses grip once past 80 Kmph. 

     Handling - As the speeds gains you might feel nervous at high speeds. The steering will change to any direction once you take your hand out of it.

    Final Words

     It the grand nanny for Maruthi and most of the Indians in their family. Best is suited for city driving and occassional family outing. Drive with caution as it would not make you win any race.

    Areas of improvement  

     Low score on crash test needs to be improved.

     A/c for second row needs to be improved.

     Head room and leg room should has to be increased.
