Exterior One look at it and it looks close to Mercedes M Series. Like the design of the vehicle as it looks macho and robust
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very plush leather upholtery interiors. Much much better than XUV500 which uses cheap plastic. The Kenwood 2 Din deck with large screen and multiple functions are also good.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The car starts slowly and gear shift is bit tardy. But once it goes beyond 40 kmph, it runs on the road. I reached 100 kmph in around 12 secs which is cool. Fuel economy is bad around 9.5 kmpl. But if you are want to gor luxury SUV with economic price tag, fuel economy becomes bit secondary. Especially considering 2.7 litre engine.
Ride Quality & Handling Enjoyed driving on msooth as well as bumpy roads. The suspension is neat and smooth.
Final Words Would like to exchange XUVV500 for this. aroun 24 lacs ex-mumbai price, is much better than Santa fe and fortuner which have similar features
Areas of improvement Competitive pricing. fuel mileage.
Interiors, Torque, automatic gears, sun roof, manual gear shift on steering wheelThird row seats, pricing, fuel mileage
