Fuel economy. I did running of 20000 km and vehicle third service is planned on 30-10-2013.
Fuel average is 19.2 on highways and 18.5 in city.
I did some experiment for to check fuel economy @ normal driving habbits.
Observation are as follows.
Speed 50~60 = 21~22 KM/L
Speed 40~50 = 21~25 KM/L
Speed 70~80 = 19~19.5 KM/L
Speed 80~100 = 18.5~19 KM/L
Speed 100~120 = 17~18 KM/L
Speed above 120 = 15~17 KM/L
Bumper to bumper traffic = 14 km/L.
I did above all test during minimum 100 and maximum 450 km highway tours.
Ride Quality & Handling Best ride and handling like fortuner and Honda CRV.
Final Words Best car of my life, tough and robust.
Areas of improvement Rear view needs improvement - while driving in rear view mirror closer sedans are difficult view, breaking of vehicle needs double attention.
Strong and tough stance on road, excellent ride quality, good fuel economy 19.2 kmpl.Unable to see closer running (approx 5~8 mtrs) in rear view mirror.
