4.0 Exterior | 5.0 Comfort | 5.0 Performance |
5.0 Fuel Economy | 5.0 Value for Money |
Exterior Exteriors are quite sober, neither too sporty / flashy nor too monotonous.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The car is packed with all necessary features for its class. Space is awesome. Toyota should have advertised it as CAAAAAR . Plenty of leg space for front seats & rear too. Dont even get talking about boot space, which is the best in its class. You'll wonder how they managed to make such space (we call it a space shuttle).
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is nice. Acceleration is pretty fast, owing mainly to its low kerb weight and a solid powerful engine. As for the fuel economy, it depends on driving style. I take out around 15km/l in city with heavy traffic (south delhi), and 17km/l on highways (sometimes more). Gearbox is smooth with good handling. The only deficeincy i found was a weak first & second gear.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good for medium distance. In long runs, you'll find the suspension is what you have paid for. For better suspension, long drives, better opt for Innova / Camry.
Final Words Haven't found a better car which is money's worth in this budget. Ample space. Good economy. Pure handling / driving pleasure. Nice steering wheel. Its a breeze in city driving (while I found dzire to be cumbersome in city).
Areas of improvement Slightly sturdier built. More ground clearance. Better suspension. Just a few nice touches to exteriors. But then they'd price it beyond the range. Which defeats the whole purpose.
Ample space, good fuel economy, good service.Frail built.
