You will actually be zapped

 

I am not a car technical expert. This is review written after 4 months of purchase having done about 3500 kms from a layman user perspective.

 

Exterior The body shape is good, the looks from front and back are good but when it comes to finishing its rough, its uneven, the gaps between different parts are not similar and it looks likely yhat the paint is not going to last much (lets see).

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I have the high end model of diesel variant.The interiors are nothing to write home about. The plastic is not good quality. But then it has space - huge space. It has bluetooth connectivity between stereo and phone - amazing amazing feature to have. I feel they have not padded the seats enough on the place where thighs rest. I have often found myself tired after long drive because of this. I guess, somebody with shorter legs wouldn't find this problem.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This sweeps it all. You have to drive it to be zapped. On Delhi roads on a signal or otherwise, its just a laughing matter to overtake any car, yes any car, when it comes to pik-up or speed. If I say it in Hindi - "gaadi bhaagti hai". The ad where the man is left open-mouthed after a test drive is actually true. Its just too good. Any other car (till the range of 20 lacs atleast) is literally no competition to this car. Fuel economy - well it started from 12 for the new car and has reached upto 16.5 as it becomes 4 mnths and 3500kms old. Gearbox is heavy and gears are some job to  shift but should be ok when u get used to it.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is smooth. You will be amazed here also. SUspension looks decent - good enough for Indian road. TUrning radius is high. This is great negative as you just can't squeeze into tight places and have to do a lot of to and fro to park - looks very foolish when the parking attendant is waiting for you to park.

 

Final Words Any negative is taken care in big big way by the sheer pleasure of driving this beast. You will feel like you command sheer power.Having driven about 1.2 lacs kms I have never loved driving as much as I have loved driving this car. If somebody is looking for value of money - this car is it. Go for it. I got it for 5.7 lacs only (airbags, ABS).

 

Areas of improvement Finishing, finishing and finishing (exterior, interior whatever). Turning radius.

 

Pickup, mileage, value for money, bluetooth connectivity to phonelarge turning radius, finishing, steering not smooth
