Good value for money sedan

Exterior Very neat design, contemporary styling gives a luxurious and upmarket look. Projector head lamps and the "in-your-face" grill and logo stand out in crowd. One look from side and people will be really amazed by its size. Daytime runing lights would have been a big ego boost. Headlamps could have been more powerful, but still is not a problem.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very comfortable seating with ample leg room in the front seats. The arm rest is very comfortable. Steering mounted controls and bluetooth work like charm. Reverse parking sensors are a boon.

Automatic climate control is neat, no noise whatsoever.

Leg room on rear seat is awesome, my kid can play on the floor :-) Two mobile charging points is a really good thinking by Maruti.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is decent, not very powerful though. I still can't believe the average I got on a recent road trip- the meter read 29.1KMPL, year, you read it right..29.1KMPL!!. Even otherwise I have seen a consistent average of around 25KMPL on highways. Average in city is around 16KMPL.

Car struggles a bit at low RPMs, but thats only till the turbo kicks in. Above 1000RPM ride is good.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very comfortable, suspensions easily swallow most of the humps and potholes. Ground clearence too is good, never have scrapped the underchassis till now, where as many Citys and Vernas have reported problem on the same road humps. Sometimes felt that steering is slightly on the heavier side.

Drives on highways is a real pleasure. Once around 2000RPM the car literally glides. Cruise control is a definite miss.

Final Words A really good car by Maruti, definitely a run for money for Honda and Hyundai. 

Areas of improvement More powerful headlamps and day time runing lights will be a big plus. Low end torque should be improved for a comfortable city driving.

Space, Comfort, Speakers, and above all mileage, bootTorque at low RPM
