Best SUV in its class

Exterior You wanna roll like a baller? Then get this truck. Its looks are evergreen. Its been around 20 yrs and it still looks pleasing to the eye. Scorpio is overly done and XUV is trying to hard to look like an SUV and Storme looks like its female version. People will get out of your way when they see you rollin' like a boss. And the spare wheel on its boot adds more to its character.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior are minimalistic. It has everything you need to be comfortable but it lacks quality. Plastics are pathetic. Space inside can be compared to 1BHK apartment and seats, oh my god!, comfortable than sofa in my house. You can drive it or be driven in it all day long without any fatigue.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its 140 horsepower so its good. Mine does 0-100 in 10.83 seconds. Pretty good for ~3 ton truck. Top speed achieved was 190kmph (speedo indicated. Do not try this). But its suffers from turbo lag below 1500 RPM. Above 1500 RPM, turbo kicks in and it goes like an elephant on steroids. Gearbox is kinda smooth but could have been better. Long throws. Fuel economy is pretty decent for size of this car. Returns around 10 KMPL in city and around 15KMPL on highways. With a 65L fuel tank its a mile munching machine.

Ride Quality & Handling Not exaggerating but on this side of 40 Lakhs, I think its ride quality is best. Absorbs potholes like they don't exist. Steering has play in it and it can't be cured. Has a lot of body roll so do not drive it like a race car. And yes. Every U-Turn you make will be a memorable one beacuse its turning radius is very huge.

Final Words Go for it if you like it. I was a Safari fanatic from my childhood that's why I got DiCOR, not Storme. Its the Royal Enfield of cars. Gone are the days when Tata had terrible service backup. Service quality is somehow comparable to maruti's. Every car has its Pros and Cons but the moment I start it in the morning, I forget all of its flaws and feel happy that I got it.
