Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Upto 1200-1300 RPM engine struggle to deliver power. Once it crosses that range, you feel the power of the moster. During overtaking lower a gear and then it goes like a rocket. I have driven 6000 Km and get average 9.9 kmpl. Might get little bit more if remain in 80kmph range. Gearbox is smooth, except for the shift from 5th to 4th. During this shift sometimes it does not go to the slot easily.
Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality in this price range. upto 140kmph feel full control. Tested upto 160kmph on Bangalore- Salem Highway. Excellent suspension. Do not fee the uneveness in skid roads. Stearing is hard in low speeds, especially during parking etc, anyway it is for tough guys. Climbed a hill in my rubber plantation which is > 60deg angle and with boulders and no road.Only in 4 LLC can do it though.
Final Words Excellent SUV in this price range.
Areas of improvement Need to fix the turbo lag.
