Toyota highly hyped but no substance in reality.

Exterior Definatly a huge improvement over the out going model.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good but not upto the mark considering the price tag of on road price of 37 lakhs excluding the accessories. A lot many features are missing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is fuel efficient and the good things end here. A lot of noise from the engine comes into the cabin and it is really loud above 2500RPM. The gear change alogorithm is not upto the mark and the ECU is confused most of the time if it wants to upshift or down and this is most evident on turns when you slow down and then acclerate. The torque converter used by Toyota is horrible and the lockup capabilities or may be the programming is bad leading to no driving pleasure. One more very important thing, the paddle shifters on the wheel are not actually to change gears but are mearly to select the gear change range and in this regard Toyota has made a fool out of it's customers by advertising it as sequencial gearbox with paddle shifters. None of the expert reviewer have noticed it and they are simply stating that the auto box is slow in changing gears but in reality this is because by pressing the upshift paddle you are simply going to a higher gear change range and the gearbox will upshift only when the ECU thinks it should change the gear.

Ride Quality & Handling Really unstable ride quality and even minor variation in the road surface are amlified.

Final Words Do not buy this car unless you test drive it your self for a couple of hundred kilometers otherwise you might end up losing your money to a overall bad experience. This is a 37 lakh car not a Mahindra Quanto ( By the way Mahindra Quanto is a much smoother car to drive than this.).

Areas of improvement Try to match upto the service and quality hype Toyota has created.

Looks and fuel economyPoor Ride Quality, Worst Transmission, Unstable, really bad torque converter.
