A wonderful creation worth your money

Introduction I purchased VXi variant on 15 March. It was an upgradation from my 5 year old Alto LXi. Booked for ZXi, but had to end up with VXi due to non avaialbility of the variant within the time. Before I get into the experience, I wish Maruti had planned better in releasing this wonderful vehicle. As of now it has a huge waiting period, many MGA accessories are not avaialble, there was confusion on certain functionalities of the vehicle  with the sales teams. Keping these aside as a 1 month old user I am extremely happy with the vehicle. My advice - instead of VXi, if you have ample waiting period, go for ZXi, because once you load the accessories etc. the cost nearly come same and you will get airbag, rear vipers, indicators on ORVM etc additional.

Exterior Though not a WOW, it is the best what you can expect from Maruti. They have taken care of the countouring to ensure perfect aerodynamics. Headlights are clear, and not a single blind spot when you are behind the wheel. There is scope for improving the rear side look. The new security features like door locks (wherein you can customize how manual central locking can function) and the ground clearance is noteworthy. The turning radius is amazing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Well designed interiors with lot of utility spaces to stuff your small items. The interior colors are excellent. Though the front suspenson is wonderful, as an user I felt the rear one need improvement. Very good leg space and width sufficent enough. The airconditioner also does a pretty decent job, even in hot bumper to bumper peak city traffic. The interior plastic though not of bad quality can be improved.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Powerful engine, smooth perfromance. I am yet to get the vehicle  for the first service, so expecting the gearbox to get bit more smoother. Will give 10 out of 10 for fuel efficiency. I had travelled around 150 kms in ghat session and another 400 in highway with an average mileage of 20.1, with good load (remember, yet to go for the first service).

Ride Quality & Handling Superb in class.Effortless riding with the Power steerings and  Brakes. Once agin has to mention the wonderful turning radius. Tubelss tyres add to the comfort.

Final Words A superb vehicle which good value for the money you put. As I mentioned in the introduction section, ZXi would have been a better option since it comes fully loaded with not that huge price difference. But no regrets as the engine and otehr aminities remain same.

Areas of improvement Improvement in rear design, Interior plastic quality.
