Good Ride, Price, Facilities and OK Interiors

 

I have driven the Prestige 4*4 on new outer ring road of Hyderabad for around 15 KMs from my office Polaris.

 

Exterior Looks OK. Unless TATA come out of lengthy Head \ Tail lamps, it can not grab the attention. But not bad as I guessed compared to the Photos.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) First time TATA might have appointed an Interior Desinger for a car of them. Interiors are good with black plastics [I have driven 2nd variant ]. 2nd & 3rd row are having side fitted A/c vents and also CUP HOLDERS. 2nd row can be slided to accomodate some more space for 3rd row.  This is good feature. All the seats are comfortable. I have sit on each row and observed.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is ok. It is not reaching 100KMPH in 15 sec even.  I have tested on outer ring road [ 8 liner road] where I have touched 200 on SKODA Laura.  The speedo meter shown me that. Believe it or not.

 Fuel Economy - NO idea.

 Gear Box  - OK.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality was good. Handling was also good, but one should observe this on bad roads also. Suspension is good as SAFARI.  As I remember it is same equipment as in SAFARI.

 

Final Words It is worth for money you spend. A/c vents fitting, roof full of Boxes and cup holders for all the rows is the high light for me.

 

Areas of improvement Exterior [esp. lamp shapes] and Arm Rests should be at low level.  I am 5'10''.  It was difficult to reach the gear nob using your arm rest. Arm rests are provided for 6'2'' tall persons.

Facilities in side [cup holder for 3rd row also], Pillar fitted A/c for 2nd and 3rd row, Roof BoxesDriver Hand rest hight, pick-up, getting in is little bit uncomfortable
