Mile Achiever

I had purchased Tigor XZO petrol on 6th of June 2018 from Berkeley Chandigarh after going through pros and cons of the Maruti's Baleno and Dezire and from Hyundai's I-20 Elite and Xccent. Neither Maruti's Baleno's nor the dezire's driving experience was good(being height of 5 feet 11 inches). My knee and the Tibia was hurting with the constant contact of dashboard of Dezire and moreover their soft suspension is god for city roads but not for countryside roads. Though both the cars were quite refined but I never had confidence in these cars when I drove them above 80Km/Hr, specially the baleno being too lite. I-20 and Xccent were good to seat and drive but city average of 11-13 Km and engine problems related with new hyundai cars made me drive away from them. Then i started looking for other options and arrived at Tigor. My first choice was for XZ but seeing XZO, I changed my mind. The car is awesome with some of its unique features such as corner stability control which lets you avoiding roll overs and helps you in controlling the car in aquaplaning conditions which i faced two times till now. The stability and ride comfort of this car is awesome and I personally feels very confident while driving this car with speeds exceeding 80Km and above. The integrated music system along with camera and Air conditioning system is very good to operate with voice commands. The best part is that you can even roll the windows up or down even if the key has been removed from steering lock(within 3 min. or opening of door) which is missing in the above mentioned cars. Many of the features of Tigor are helpful like auto locking in case of accidental pressing of key, electrical boot opening etc.etc. Engine performance is good not as pepier to Baleno considering light weight of Baleno but driving the Tigor is really good; well performing steering wheel, easy approach to switches on front panel, seven speed wiper system which is absent in all other above listed cars, centre mounted LED lights, The list of pros like longer service intervals, largest storage space under sub 4m, higher ground clearance, is long. Now lets come to cons. 1. If you set the climate control temperature at 28C in the morning the driver side air duct throws warm air rather than cold air (outside temperature was measured at 32.7C) but in mid day when the temperature rose to 35C to 38C you get chilled air through the same duct. The problem to solution was found by setting the temp. to 26 or lower. 2. The engine noise in car is felt but not so loud that one can feel uncomfortable. 3. The 15 inch alloys are very stylish but I met with two tigor owners who complained of tyre side wall damage due to lower aspect ratio of tyres. I had spend only on oil and oil filter change at regular service intervals of 15K Kms. My overall experience with this car is very good
