3.0 Exterior | 5.0 Comfort | 4.0 Performance |
3.0 Fuel Economy | 5.0 Value for Money |
Exterior Reasonable overall looks. Rear looks a bit disappointing.Can be better designed so that it will become more competitive.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Extremely spacious,lot of head room and leg room,almost sprawling.High end model should get leather seats by default also the feel should be a bit premium from within,as the feel good factor kind of missing.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol engine very smooth,Gear box also good.
Ride Quality & Handling Very good in both these areas,a tad underweight I feel as at high speed it seems to be in levitation mode.
Final Words Probably no competition in that segment considering the price,very smart product positioning, as in a Toyota sedan,at below RS 8Lakhs. In the overall perspective should have had been a run away success,considering the overall package...But sadly it's not the case.Honda perhaps the clear leader in this segment inspite of premium pricing. So the jury is clearly out that atleast in India people are willing to spend a few lakhs more if they really see value in the product. May be in India Honda will remain aspirational,needless to say they good as anybody in this game.
Areas of improvement Better design will ensure they will get premium pricing. Like the new Corolla Altis which has very good looks.
Very good ground clearance and head room.Unattractive rear,especially tail lights
