I saw this car for the first time in Sep 2008, when I visited Kerala. The external looks reminded me of Land Cruiser & Pajero.
How ever one thing which I was always unhappy about Indian made vehicles is no different in this model also - Poor plastic quality. I dont understand why on earth they build such crappy interior for such a good looking car. If the interior is improved, this car can compete with lower/middle end SUV's in international market.
Atleast they can release a higher end model with better interior!
I have tested Toyota Innova & its interior & plastic quality very well matches with those we see abroad.
How ever the pricing is good. It is definitly a car to go for when we look for value for money. The highest specification will cost you just 8 lakhs, which is not really bad. Bear in mind, a higher end configuration Innova can cost you anywhere between 13 & 14 Lakhs.
Good exterior looks, sturdy, reasonably pricedCheapest quality plastics, poor interior, poor upholstory and floor mats
