Peppy drive, Amazing Interiors and Features. Front design could be more sophisticated and less boxy.

Pros: 1. Driving experience. This car really packs power and gives a really comfortable drive. I found the drive better compared to rivals like Nexon, Kiger, Sonet. It also rides smoothly over bumps and puddles. Cabin noise is minimal. 2. Features: The MX3 variant has all the features you would want from a budget compact SUV including sunroof, cruise control, wireless charging, the 10-inch infotainment system, rear AC vents and central arm console. But at an on-road price of around 11.7 lakhs, I would expect basic safety features such as a rear parking camera, and rear defogger and viper, height adjustable driver seat. Ventilated seats could also be added to bring it on par with Kia and Hyundai offerings at the same price point. 3. Looks: I found the exteriors of the cars to be a bit disappointing. The car looks boxy compared to its rivals Sonet, Kiger, and Magnite which have a more sophisticated hatchback design. I also don’t like what they have done to the front grill and headlight. The C-shaped DRLs and headlights give the car a Wagon R-like appearance. I found the original XUV 300 to have a better front design. The back looks much better with the connected tail lights and lettering. The side profile looks a bit flattened out from the back compared to other rivals like Kiger, Nexon. The interiors of the car look extremely plush and I much liked the changes they have made including the addition of the infotainment screen, arm console and rear vents right from the MX3 variants. They also pack enough space to seat 5 people comfortably.
