2.0 Exterior | 3.0 Comfort | 1.0 Performance |
2.0 Fuel Economy | 4.0 Value for Money |
Exterior: Nice but Head lamp is not bright enough ,shape is very low end
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Good space ,poor handling and heaviest steering among all indian cars till date in the same catagory of about 1 Tonne. Crudely welded luggage cabin with elevated platform for rear seat
positioning eats up luggage space if rear seat removed like in Omni.No head rest at rear.
poorly padded seats .Doesnot have safety beam at front ahead of the cabin.Catalogue mentions about side impact beams but size and quality however doubtful
.Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
As assumed engine not mounted at front but unfortunately below the driver seat, this increases the cabin temperature hence more a/c load on the engine to keep cabin cooler
Engine and gear box housing as made of low grade aluminium and mounted at lowest part of the chasis will get hammering when driven over the boulder or bad raods trying to avoid pot holes.
Ride Quality & Handling
Ride quality is comparable with only M-800 ,Omni and nowhere near Indica,Wagon R or GM Spark Not to mention about handling ,probably worst ever car produced in the History of Indian automobiles try it to believe with 3 passengers sitting inside.
Final Words
On road price of 3.58 if one does think of cramped alto,and ready to get crumpled Omni then this would be ideal choice .If you are serious about quality cars do not think about EEco
Areas of improvement
In every millimeters of the car from foding rear seats, rear head rest, removal of welded platform at luggage area, engine gearbox guarding cover, Impact resist beam at front nose,
repositioning of engine to front from below.
better than unsafe omniengine and gearbox casing at lowest piont on chasis,very heavy handling
