Very comfortable Driving,Very big Interrnal space,Nice looking,No maintenance, good ground clearance and Strong body and Color signing, very good consistent performance, so good after 1 lacks km,

I bought this car in August 2015, from Dealer in Lucknow for 7.35 lacs on road including seat cover with Gold AMC, it was an excellent bargain at that time.TATA dealers have not been very courteous, same with me but overall decent and satisfactory. In the first 20 months or so I drove my car for about 46000 km with the absolutely trouble-free period during and I have not sent even a single rupee on regular services also, thanks to Gold AMC. last three years i have driven my car only 15000 km this period has also been trouble-free. Comfort level is high specially in the back seats. It gives maximum mileage on the highway with a speed of 75 to 80 km/h that is 23-24km/l. But if you increase speed to 95-100km/h it comes down to 20km/litre.In the city, it is 17-18km/l.I think my battery has last its life early than expected. Tyres also I have changed at 57000 km. Overall I am happy to choose this vehicle.

Exterior : roofline ending at C-pillar gives coupe style look. one of the best looking compact sedan. Projector head lamps gives better looks to car. LED guide rings & DRLs(daytime running lights) makes your car stand apart from the crowd. Exterior shut lines are something which you are going to admire. 8-spokes alloy wheels are sexy.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Harman-kardon infotainment system is undoubtedly the best of any car in India. Touch screen is seriously very awesome; Phone connectivity is great ,it provides you handfree features and voice-command-recongnisation feature whch lets you play music track of your choce, change radio station ,control AC, make phone call.

Car is spacious and independent McPherson strut suspension makes very good comfort ride. you don't feel any side roll while turning.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: engine is trusted sourced from fiat quadrajet more powerful than swift dzire, hyundai xcent. There is no turbo-lag felt due to the awesome technology VGT.

fuel economy: 17-18(city); 21-22(highway)

gearbox is smooth.

 

Ride Quality & Handling: awesome ride quality. This car is very demanding, it will ask you to take risk :) go fast coz of it's good powerful engine and good ride quality.It has got corner stability control  which gives you confidence while cornering. You never feel out of power. I have not driven to it's extreme limit but it easily hits 145 kmph very quick but i'm sure it can hit above 165 kmph very easily.

brakes: ABS & EBD features ensures you safer drive. 

 

Final Words : if you are looking to buy a new car then you can give a try for an Indian car. Good car, worth purchasing. It won't disappoint you. 

 

Areas of improvement  : Please provide the inbuilt GPS.

Why is this beautiful car not in black color as well as black alloy wheel.

Experience: i am having very good ecperience with this car. You don't feel any noise inside the cabin.

Areas of improvement Sometimes in bumber to bumber traffic when auto gear shifts from 2nd to 1st and then your drive in 1st gear, and have to apply brakes, vehicle takes a few second to stop, so not sure if I am not driving right or, but overall good car.

Good style, space, premium dashboard, good night drive visibility , Corner stability controlAlmost nothing, but sometimes when 2nd to 1st gear , brakes dont stop the car , there is a miss

Exterior GOOD.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) GOOD.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox HORRIBLE. TATA'S CLAIM AVERAGE 18 KM/LT (AS PER ARAI), WHEN TEST DRIVE WAS GIVEN ON LONG ROUT HIGHWAY 190 KM + CITY 20 KM, AT 60 KM/HR SPEED IN ECO MODE.

BY THE DEALER CONCORD AVERAGE WAS FOUND 13.6 KM/LT ALSO PRACTICAL, AVERAGE DURING EVERY DAY RUN IN LAST 3000 KM IN CITY HIGHWAY REGULAR, RUN AVERAGE IS FOUND TO BE 8.5 KM/LT IN CITY MODE.

ON COMPLAINT TATA'S REPLIED THAT THIS IS NORMAL & CAR IS OK. THEY ALSO ADVICE THAT EVEN ON HIGHWAY YOU SHOULD DRIVE AT 60 KM/HR. WHEN EVERYBODY INCLUDING RIKSHAW OVERTAKES YOU & ONLY YOU CAN OVERTAKE.

CYCLE / BULLOCK CAR. ON COMPLAINING TO ARAI THEY CONFIRM THAT AVERAGE TEST TAKEN ONLY IN LAB.

ON SPECIFIC SAMPLE CAR GIVEN BY COMPANY. THEY DO NOT SELECT RANDOM SAMPLE. FROM THE CARS IN DEALER STOCK. THEY DO NOT TAKE PRACTICAL LONG DRIVE TRIAL. IN CITY AS WELL AS HIGHWAY.

Ride Quality & Handling OK.

Final Words I FEEL CHEATED. IT IS CHEAPER TO HIRE AC TAXI EVERYDAY THAN USING THIS CAR.

Areas of improvement REAL FUEL ECONOMY.

GOOD STYLEHORRIBLE PETROL AVERAGE. ONLY 8.5 KM/LT

Exterior Good exterior with nice detail lines on side. additional detailing like drl's, chrono rings, LED tail lamps all look par with competitors. built quality is really strong.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is the best thing in the car. nicely done dual tone dashboard with features like touch sceen infotainment and reverse sensors, controls on steering, speed sensing audio system and EPAS steering wheel.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is great as once the turbo kicks in you will enjoy its boost. fuel economy-- giving me 21-22 kmpl on highways and 17-18 kmpl in city. gearbox is nice and smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling As always the ride quality is top notch. rear passenger will love the comfort at back seats. handling is superb as the EPAS steering wheel provide you more confidence on steep turns as well as during high speeds.

Final Words Great car to own. definitely better than rest of its competitors. just in case of xcent as xcent supports more features but it has better engine and better lighting and better everything.

Areas of improvement Committment, sales and service otherwise no issue, no offense.

pleasing interior, dashboard quality, seating, smooth and refined engine, and more like sound systemnothing till date. best in this segment.

Exterior

 Exterior looks awesome, projector headlamps are really good and helpful for night drive.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interior gives a rich feel. The whole ambience is very comfortable. Lot of feature are available at your disposal and useful too. Ample of space for 3 in rear, so much so 4 thin creature can also fit in. Ride quality is very comfortable. Because of bigger wheels, bad roads are not of much concern.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine is responsive. With petrol I am withdrawing 15kmpl, but without A/C in use. Gear shifts are smooth, almost effortless.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Very impressive. Need not worry too much about bad roads, fun to drive.

Final Words

 I am thoroughly impressed with the car. The money I have paid, is worth spending. I am enjoying the ride everyday.

Areas of improvement  

 Only that Tata Motors needs to improve on Customer Care and dealing with them. I got the car after 33 days of my booking the car, though I was promised 3 weeks.

 

Great comfort. Interiors are plush and features given are excellent.Yet to find

Exterior LOOKS AWESOME IN THIS SEGMENT. HEAD LAMPS AND TAIL LAMPS ARE PLACED ATTRACTIVELY.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) AS IN ANY OTHER TATA CAR A GOOD LOT OF INTERIOR SPACE.BETTER THAN EVEN THE HYUNDAI VERNA ANOTHER VERY GOOD CAR.SUSPENSIONS ARE HARD AND CAN TAKE ANY AMOUNT OF BAD ROADS. THE CAR INTERIORS ARE VERY NEW AND GOODS. IF WE WANT TO TAKE THE BEST AND THE WORST INTERIORS THE WORST SRE THOSE RENAULT/NISSAN ALL CARS WHICH HAVE THE SHABBIEST INTERIORS. IN THIS SEGMENT THIS CAR HAS ONE OF THE BEAT INTERIORS.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox FUEL AVERAGE LONG 20KMPL AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 100-120.LOCAL MILAGE NOT CHECKED. I HAVE DRIVEN AROUND 4500 KMS WITHIN A MONTH AND HENCE THE REVIEW.

Ride Quality & Handling THE RIDE QUALITY IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THGE SEGMENT. THIS CAR IS RELATIVELY SILIENT AS COMPARED TO AMAZE. DOOR NOISE IS PETRIFYING AND HORRIBLE. TATA HAS REALLY IGNORED SUCH AN IMPORTANT ASPECT.

Final Words THE BEST CAR. HIGHLY ADVISED TO BUY.

Areas of improvement THEY SHOULD WORK ON THE DOOR NOISE, BOTTLE HOLDERS ETC.

EXCELLENT RIDE QUALITY FUEL ECONOMY GROUND C INT SPACEBOTTLE HOLDERS, HAND REST ETC,DOOR AND BOOT OPENING NOISE
