I've driven many cars in India and even foreign. Driving experience of this car is above average and it's not having gimmicks that feel pleasing to look but overall nice. Japanese don't fail at reliability so maintenance is not an issue.
Compared to Fortuner it's well planted to the road but pick up is slower compared to the new 2023 model of Fortuner.
Pros.
1) It feels more present on the road
2) Japanese so no question in quality
Cons.
1) May had offered a better style like that of the international model
2) Feels a bit outdated
3) overpriced
