Exterior The Car looks bulky from outside. It doesn't have the stunning looks to catch you off-guard but it has a decent exterior facade. Dew White has a specially good appeal. Chrome lining(only higher versions) on the door handle and the strips out-side gives the car a very elegant look. Front of the car including it's grille and headlights is very good but due to the heavy boot, the back looks out of shape.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) First of all to be mentioned in the interiors is the roomy cabin. The driver and co-driver have ample space and leg room. Height adjustable driver seat with lumbar support helps the driver not to feel any strain while driving. Back row has ample space even after drivers seat is pushed all the way back. Leather upholstery and two tone seat covers and door trims are very appealing. DIS Console and the driver instrument cluster is very well set out. Steering mounted controls with integrated Audio system gives the interior a very rich look. Except the cheap plastics used inside, Interiors are very good.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is quiet efficient. The pick-up and running are very smooth. Handling is very easy. Turbo has a good power delivery. The ride is quite smooth even on Bumpy roads. During the first 1000 Kms. of running my car delivered around 13 Kmpl. mileage and should stabilise any where between 16-18 Kmpl. Gear shifts are a bit hard(being a hyundai user before, it was quite obvious).
Ride Quality & Handling Overall ride quality and handling is very good. Due to the bulky design, It handles very well on the high-ways especially while over taking and maneuvering sharp turns and cuts, Steering wheel and the gripping is quite comfortable. Driver seat is height adjustable and has lumbar support which helps him not feeling any strain during the drive.
Final Words It's great value for money car. Over-all performance will be better than expected going by Tata brand name. Except the cheap plastics inside there is nothing to complain. Bulky boot, High-end features and roomy interiors are the stand alone features when compared to other cars in the same price range.
Areas of improvement Good quality of Plastics and better design of boot and tail lamps to cover the bulky look.
Good fuel Economy, Good Cabin Spacing and spacious boot, High-end features for a car of this priceLooks not really appealing, Cheap plastics for Dash board and interiors
