What absolutely surprised me was the bounciness above 60kmph with such light steering. All the things i had liked about the car got marred by this. Coming from the Santa Fe which is rock stable even above 150 this scared me a bit. The road was highway with little unevenness but no potholes or anything like that. Have never drove body-on-frame suv but if Endeavor is similar i have to rule it out too. I prefer car like characteristics of my Santa Fe. Tiguan i feel is small and Kodiaq is wonderful but underpowered compared to Santa Fe, which leaves options from luxury brands.

What would be best SUV under 45-50 OTR? It will be self-driven and prefer it to have at a minimum all the features of from cars below it. Want a med/full size car unlike Tiguan/X1.

Kodiaq L&K 42-44 OTR is a great option in my opinion. I have not seen any reviews mentioning that it is underpowered, they all claim it as adequately powered. On paper, it is surely underpowered considering the size of the car.

Or wait for the Kodiaq vRS edition if you need more power.

Is that for D5 Inscription?

Just had a visit from Volvo salesperson.

Got some quotes:

XC40 R-design: Since its just launched, no offer. 40L ex-showroom for about 45-46L OTR.

XC60 Inscription: 67L OTR. I asked my friend who bought in Diwali said for 60L which he corrected was 62L. Its higher now because that was Diwali offer.

V90 CC: 68L, discount of 9L from 77L OTR.

Although he said there could be more discounts on both.

Anyone aware of deals on VW Tiguan?

The current Diesel Tiguan seems to have a second wind. Decent demand due to discounts. I am also looking to buy an urban SUV. Current offers are a discount of 3-5 lac on exShowroom.

Grab it once it gets in your budget because Tiguan not being available for months due to limited number of kits is real.

X1 scores maximum here, would get that.

These days BMW's are very reliable. I have a 3 series with me for more than5 years and it has zero issues. i would rate the reliability of X1 above the VW & Hyundai

Honda is offering huge discounts, especially on CRV and Civic. This is an advertisement in local newspaper.

I don't understand why Honda doesn't give more discount on BR-V. The car is overpriced compared to Ertiga, and that reflects in its poor sales. It's priced like Honda city, but is much less premium.

[AnandB]

Just test drove Kodiaq style. It is one smooth SUV. Doesn't even feel like an SUV or it has lower power figures. It is miles more driver's car than Alturas i TD'ed couple of days back.

Was quoted 37.5 OTR for Style and 41.3 OTR for L&K.

Mobilio was the one that competed with Ertiga. They have positioned BR-V as a 7 seater SUV rather than an MPV.
But I believe the market does not see it that way.

A 3 lakh discount on the Civic Diesel! Does that bring the V-MT Diesel within the 20 lakh on-road price point? If so, it might be a good option for people who have long highway rides and want a good fuel efficient car with best in segment efficiency, a decent power and torque output, high reliability, all creature comforts, a good looking car that offers decent value.

Also, for automotive enthusiasts, this represents a bit of a landmark engine, one of the last brand new small diesels to be developed in the world, where the art of engine design has reached a pinnacle of sophistication and optimization, however, has arrived too late to make a difference in the market due to negative customer perception precipitated by scandals.

Car & Driver sees this engine as the pinnacle of the efficient diesel genre: "The company’s decision to develop a next-generation ultra-clean turbo-diesel was made well Dieselgate scandal, but due to long development cycles, the Diesel Honda Civic is reaching its target market in Europe just as demand slumps for compression-ignition engines, thanks in large part to the scandal. The new engine isn’t about firepower, instead focusing on efficiency and emissions. And on those measures, it is almost unbeatable. More impressive is that the Civic is already able to pass the stringent new Euro 6D TEMP emissions standard—a year ahead of its implementation. Refinement is the i-DTEC’s most impressive quality. Company executives admit that it likely will be the last diesel it will develop. Within a technology generation, the case for spending the money necessary to develop another all-new diesel for a minority player like the Civic will almost certainly be gone. But it is fitting for such an engineering-led company that, despite its modest output, this little diesel should be remembered as one of the pinnacles of its genre"

BR-V is definitely an MPV, not an SUV. Even their own brochure shows MPV use cases.

In another news, saw an ad on OLX that Tata Zest XTA is available with ₹ 2 lakh discount! I visited a showroom to check it out. What followed was a shock.

I told the receptionist that I want to enquire about Zest. She asked a salesman near her: "Zest hai kya?". He said No. Then she tells me: "we don't sell Zest. It is sold at commercial showroom only, for taxis."
Someone said on the Hexa thread that Tata is not interested in selling their cars. Doesn't seem to be an exaggeration at all!

Dear Friends,

Can anyone please share the best discounts or offers for Ford Ecosport in Bangalore?

I wish to make the best of it as I am interested in Ecoboost.

Thanks

Read an article on rushlane that Marrazo top spec M8 is available with a discount of 1.7lacs. That seems like a sweet deal to me if real.
