Great SUV at the price

Exterior

The exterior no doubt looks the best. This is again something that can be based on perception. However, I feel that there is no other car apart from Tata Safari in this price range that look this good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The space for driver and co-driver is huge. Also the space in third row is massive. The only downer being that the 2nd row seats are although reclining (just one level recline) but are not slideable to create more space for third row which is a little cramped.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine is super smooth with excellent low end torque and super damping inside the system so that we dont hear engine noise. Also the gear shift could have been smoother.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride for the first two rows is fantastic, especially for a full grown SUV like this one.

Final Words

 Its a great buy. However if they were to reduce price just a little bit, i feel Duster and Terrano will be goners and no one will buy them.

Areas of improvement  

The company should do a PR campaing on how they have improved the 2014 version of XUV
