    Exterior 

    Personally i like the exterior with its led headlamps,split rear tail lamp etc but they could have done better in styiling the front because its a little bland for a cross and the alloys too should have been offered with an option of diamond cut alloys.rest of it i really like it like the door mounted aerodynamic side mirrors and the roof rails. it is a user friendly exterior.No one will really be wowed by the exterior but some will like it. the ground clearence too is good.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    The interiors are the best thing i like in this car.Even though they are typical maruti all black interiors they have a premium feel to it with things like soft touch plastics and all.the seats are great supporters they are coverd with plush black leather whitch is standard.It is the most spacious cross in india and the comfy one too.Ride quality is great if you use the tyre pressure recommended by the company. a touch screen with sat nav and all the goodies is easy to use but apple car play would have livened it morebut you dont feel the lack of it with blutooth. you get auto ac wich is very useful and cruise control which we barely use but is very good in a maruti.the steering wheelis covered in leather(also the gear knob)which are really good additionsthe folding mirrors etc also come in handy.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     This is the part i really like to talk about.the 1.6 engine is a gem of a motor it is so quick and refined u wont feel it riding. it hits 100 ina whoooooosh.anyone willl enjoy driving this engine.along with this you get a super slick 6 speed gearbox which works well.but thre is one problem with this engine, turbo lag . in first gear when u take off there is a turbo lag witch makes it a little commbusum to drive around traffic. but once you get past that 2000 rpm you will forget all the problems.fantastic high speed stabillty and it goes like a rocket when overtaking and no one feel tired driving this car for a long journey as the seating is spot on and sporty.

    Ride Quality & Handling

     ride is a little bumpy in slow city speeds when it is just brought but if you stick to the tire pressure it gets a lot smoother and highways are the best region in ride in this car.the suspension is spot on.stability is good considering the light weight body.when it comes to handling also the scross impresses with light feedback on city speeds and well weighting in high speeds. it may not be as crisp as the swift but it is good enough.

     FINAL WORD

    The car is a great performer in every manner  offers great space and you do get the premium feel of an cuv.i think the people are not opting because if the price of the car.

    Areas of improvement  

     Not much but they could look at the price and looks one more.
