Excellent Buy at the Price I bought

Exterior This is one of the most stylish looking car in its segment ( I understand to each his own but this style works for me) , I bought the copper metallic shade and have had crowd surround the car in parking at least 3 times in last month.

The sports car look is very appealing and is welcome change compared to dour looking Merc C class or BMW 3 Series

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The integrated system with 5 Inch screen is awesome and the hands free feature for phone is a delight. The rear space is comfortable but would not call it roomy or spacious. It is just about the space I had in my Chevrolet Optra Magnum. The seats are plush and comfortable.

Dont go out looking for even simple accessories like floor mat , they are simply not available. Had to go for 3D custome cut mats. Even the base version does not need any further accessories for basic comfort but the downside of driving not so popular brand and model is I am dependent only on Volvo Service for all fancy add ons.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance on D4 is satisfactory not out of ordinary but I drive only inside City so for me not a drawback at all but speed and sports enthusiast will be little disappointed at drag. Fuel Economy is super awesom with almost 15km/l under city conditions.

Ride Quality & Handling It is an extremely reassuring Vehicle to drive with City Safety & DSTC . Car feels solid even on hard bank turns and the City Safety feature unique to Volvo works in real life situation too and not just some fancy thing that works in Demo.

The steering is smooth and I have tried using the geartronic manual system with DSTC off , I am sure there are consumers for it but it did not do anything for me.

Ride quality is excellent on smooth road/city or highway drive but otherwise it is strictly OK in bumby conditions, it bumps around in uneven roads and need to be careful on unpaved roads due to low ground clearance , have already scraped the vehicle on a stone. I have subsequently at Volvo Service got the car to ride little higher (which is possible).

Final Words An awesome buy at price and package , chose it over X1 as this feels a luxury vehicle and worth every penny spent and not just some Brand name with compromised interiors.
