1. Booked 7 DCT 1.5T Petrol Prestige Plus (O) recently (11-April 20024) and overall experience is great. Sales guys are pretty knowledgeable and able to satisfy all the queries.
2. Driven this DCT version and its peppy, quick, stable, silent cabin (no engine noise or vibrations etc.), no lagging of power when need to pick it up after stand still at stop signals or transitioning from slow to medium to high speed. Clearly felt turbo engine prowess. By the way, we are 4 guys (adults) inside car during driving.
3. This is surely not a competition to MPV segment like Ertiga, XL6, etc., it has its own league way above the rest in competition. Carens is RV (Recreational Vehicle). Cabin is awesome and futuristic, ergonomically placed all features. Seating positioning particularly third row seat and its comfort and over all ride quality is awesome. Road Presence is fantastic, surely a head turner. Vehicle appears small from outside, but cabin space generated inside is felt really big and comfortable for a 7 seater vehicle.
Pros: Overall Value for Money
Cons: 360 Deg Parking Camera, Rear Camera on OVRM (Co-Driver side) for changing lanes, Hybrid Engine and CNG option (may be) for Taxi Segment mindset.
