Value for money - Middle class's Fortuner :)

Exterior

 Exterior is young and eye catching. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 This is not a SUV, but an alternate for SUV, so you should not expect extra space. It is little bit more than swift, but it is you who need to decide what space you need.

feature wise it is great. even in base modal it has almost everything we desire in a luxery car.  and it is very comfortable. Cant comment if you come after driving other luxery cars but after swift, it is almost same ( swift I drove for 6 years and that is best car in that segmnent ).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine is good, speed is also good but Fuel economy I am not very sure. seems like i am getting somewhere around 14-15 but its too early to comment and i would like to see that after first service. Its 700 km yet.  Gearbox is bit low, but i am getting use too. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is Ok, initially i struggled specially with the steering Horn, which is the worst part., It is hard and only in the middle, so people with small hands or whoever are use to  using horns almost covering 70% areas with steering will find difficult.

 

Another issue we found ( not me though) that the perople with short height have to face another problem if they wear turban. The head space when you are near the steering could be very less for many. 

Final Words

 Definetly a value for money but if you will compare with other high end SUVs then it is something un necessary. For first times or under budget this is a value for money and feel of SUV.  what else you expect in this money :-)  I still miss driving swift, but started liking it as well.

Areas of improvement
