Hi Friends
Wanted to change from a Wagon R to a Diesel Sedan. After research and TDshortlisted the fludic Verna 1.4 CRDI, new SX4 1.3 ZDI and the Vento.
I have finaly gone a head with the new SX4 Zdi over verna and vento.
Verna 1.4 is with very low seating and no major features, Vento again out of my buget.I found SX4 to be a better value for money product with lots of features and at the price of Vento diesel base verna variant.
Got the delievry of my car and completed close to 500 kms run, found it to be a very good balance of power and performance with with strong built and amazing road dynamics. Initial average of 16 kms per ltr.
The engine is so silent that u don't here the diesel machine inside the cabin. I got 2 airbags, alloywheels, ele foldable mirors, CD player with 4 speakers and 2 tweeters, ABS front and rear fog lamps...all under 10 lakh.
Downside - limited choice of colours, dashboard could have been better, bluetooth not present, cabin richness and gears little hard.
I initially had doubts on the 1.3 ltr dsl engine as vento had much powerful 1.6 . But believe me the 1.3 same as used in Dzire does a fantastic job in the SX4 with the new turbo charger. So performane wise its and amazing sedan, The height and Grnd Clearance is amazin all msot like an SUV.
Strong built quality, ground clearance, lots of feqatures, high seats and driving position,Gear shit, dashboard, bluetooth not present,
