Real Sedan

Exterior: Looks like a very average sedan, no one can guess the space and comfort by having a look from outside. Fantastic headlamps, ground clearance, chrome lined grills and boot. intelligently placed side indicators. Finishing on some exterior parts is not smooth and could have been improved. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Dual tone impressive interiors, cabin noise is very less, infact once you roll up the power windows you won't feel there's a world outside, cabin space is incomparable and leaves dzire, vento, amaze, verito, sx4, etios and many other highly priced sedans way back, decent head and leg room. Handles the speed breakers, pot holes and craters on the road very nicely. Dash board does give a premium look but again finishing should be improved here and there inside. Has space for 6 speakers and 2 tweeters. adequate lighting options inside, magazine pockets in front doors, door open indicator, tray under the co-driver seat, rear center arm rest. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: It going to be an year and engine i still performing nicely, 90 ps is decent power to drive this vehicle even when fully loaded, turbo lag is very less in comparision to swift, swift dzire, verito, etios, etc. max speed I drove was 170 kmph and still felt the vehicle being stable, have achieved a fuel economy of 22 kmpl on highway at a continuous speed of 60-70 kmph with ac on, for city driving it ranges between 15-17 kmpl. Gearbox is smooth sedan like and shifts are never an issue. 

Ride Quality & Handling: Goes very well on all kinds of roads without any hickups. rides very smoothly over the bumps, suspension limits jerks to a great extent while driving through pot holes or damaged roads. 90 ps of power takes the vehicle very nicely in all sorts of terrain, ride quality feels like a real sedan and it just FLOATS on smooth roads. Very low on maintenance and due to the TATA service network you will find their service centers in all big/small towns across the country, infact i got my first service done in Thiruvananthpuram despite the fact that i purchased it in Bangalore.

 Final Words: Best sedan in this range in terms of performance, comfort, mileage and price 

Areas of improvement  Exterior and interior finishing needs to be improved, cosmetic changes should be made to make it more attractive to buyers as people go more for the looks than performance.
