3.0 Exterior | 5.0 Comfort | 5.0 Performance |
3.0 Fuel Economy | 4.0 Value for Money |
Exterior Probably the only drawback of the model. It resembles a lot like the Indica Vista. TATA boasts of its signature TATA Grill, I don't see whats so special in it. On a closer view - The projector headlamps, the flame tail lights and the alloys look great.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best in class space, the shoulder hugging seats were really very comfortable and not to mention the JBL Harman infotainment system - very modern and great system that apart from audio also supports videos, maps, navigation and a lot more.
Took a long drive of about 300kms without any stops, neither me nor my co-passengers were not a bit tired. Very comfortable and spacious seats, great legroom - comfortable for aged as well as tall people.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Awesome engine performance. Especially the multi-drive mode was great. There was a sudden surge of power while switching to sports mode while driving, and the acceleration changed significantly.
Average Fuel Economy. Highway - 15~16 Kmpl. City - 13~14 kmpl. Not much difference in fuel economy in different modes.
Good Gearbox. Not the best The gearbox is better compared to Swift or i20. But can't expect a great one as in Honda Brio.
Ride Quality & Handling Great Ride Quality and Handling. The engine noise was very less. I accelerated it upto 150kmph and there was no vibration or any change in engine sound. Car was moving as smooth as if it were running at 70~80 kmph. The ABS and the Corner Stability Control stands as per expectations. Steering was very very smooth and cornering can be done with ease at high speeds.
Final Words A great hatchback loaded with features. Best engine you could possibly get at the price. Exteriors may look a bit disappointing, but once we get to the driver's seat, our perspectice totally changes. The features and comfort gives us the pleasure of driving a luxury sedan.
Areas of improvement Bootspace could be made larger, Gearbox could be smoother, and the outside look can be changed not to resembel the vista.
Engine Performance, Strong and Sturdy, Features,Exterior Look, Less Bootspace, Not so soft gearbox
