Exterior
Pros:
1. Good looks; being a compact sedan, boot has been intergrated properly and look good on overall design.
2. Projector headlamps when litted with fog lamps pulls a fantastic look.
3. Chrome lining outlining the Radiator grill merge with headlights beautifully
4. LED tail lamps looks great along with the fog lamp at the back
Cons:
1. DRLs are too bright
2. Tail lamps are LED as advertised however, breaklight remains the conventional bulb lighting
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Pros:
1. Amazing quality; at par with the competition
2. Dual tone interior looks great
3. Best part is the Infotainment system with voice commands; it actualy understands Indian accent easily
4. Ample amount of space at the back even with the front seats all the way back
5. fantastic NVH levels; cabin is so damn quite
Cons:
1. Missing armrest; could've been easily integrated, specially in the front seat(s)
2. Mobile charger could've been located near the USB slot to make room for another glass holder which indeed is a requirment in the car
3. Rear seat roof lamp missing; again, important requirement
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Pros:
1. Engine modes are not gimmick as reported by a few other sites; while Eco does bing down the throttle level; Sports is the mode you'd like to drive in
2. Steering is nice and light; very responsive
3. Gear shifting is smooth
4. Gear suggestion is a welcome move; it actually suggest which gear the car should be on to maximise the FE
Cons:
1. I feel there is gear lever vibration; not that it's visible but of you keep your hand on the gear while driving, you could feel the vibration; not sure how is it in other cars in the competetion
2. First three gears needs to be shifted to in quick succession; should've been tuned to hold on the third a little more
3. So far, pretty avg FE figures. Hope it gets better after the first few services
Final Words
Best in class Car and a real Value for money. Cheapest in terms of money and best in terms of features among the competetion. Proud that it's made by an Indian Car maker.
Great looks, fantastic infotainment system, good NVH levels.For now, fuel economy!
