Exterior
Styling is very cleaverly done , its good and as well as it manages to liberate spce very well.I like the manza like front grill with the triple barrel headlamps.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Speedometer could have been shifted behind the steering,otherwise it is well placed and it looks sophisticated.The audio is good to use and has good sound quality , the bluetooth connectivity is very useful.the controls on the streeing for audio and phone are very easy to use.
Even 5 people can sit in good comfort without lapping each other's shoulder.Ride quality is good even on bad roads.It takes all bad roads very easily in its stride and high speeds the rear tend to bounce a little if sudden undultations are present on the road.Boot space is ok but not enough,it has to be improved.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Performance is really excellent and it does speeds even above 130kph very easily and will return 15-17kpl at those speeds.Overtaking is a breeze , it thrusts so easily at speeds above 100 while overataking even without changing gears.If driven carefully at speeds of 90-110kph it will give around 19-21kpl.Best mileage i got was 22 and odd.Gearbox can still be smoother in tis throw otherwise its good to use.It can be driven like an automatic in 3 or 4 th gear in city speeds.
Ride Quality & Handling
Ride quality is so good that we wont know any shakea or bumps.we will feel only if it runs slowly over sharp bumps,i even never mind to put my car side of the roads in sand to overtake at traffic conditions in slow speeds.Handling is good but not so sharp at high speeds but only speed enthusiasts will mind about it . If you want to travel peacefully without involving to much in drving during long highway drives it is so good.At city speeds it is good to use but feels slightly on heavier side with constant feedback which is good as speed increases.
Final Words
Nice family hatchback which is proven compared to swift or the overpriced i20.Its comfortable and spacious than both of them and gives good fuel economy too,with equal performance to keep up with other bigger cars on highway.
Areas of improvement
Boot space can be improved compared to the polo or i20 its small.
Comfort,space at the rear,performance and fuel economyboot space could have been better.
