| ![]() 2.4 engine gives around 13 kmpl, as per the MID on highways (when I drove at 110-120 kmph speeds predominantly, and sparingly at 140kmph speeds) . I need to check full tank to full tank and that too on highway usage. |

When you are on the expressway speeds and beyond, even at the south of 120 or 20% above it (120 is official speed limit of EPE), you still expect this 2.8 to stay relaxed unlike the 2.4 or other puny motors from compact SUVs and manage to deliver over 10 kpl (Heck, it delivers up to 14-15 kpl even at 120 kph expressway drives on cruise). Where 2.8 really shines is the point where the competition is grasping for breath or is already dead (Be is 5 seat Creta or a 7 seat XUV). This picture was taken ahead of Jewar toll on YEW and speed throughout the Lucknow to Jewar was ahead of where many compact SUVs get in the take off mode. If this motor is on a long haul, the 2.8 is relaxed even at some unmentionable speeds and you expect a very respectable FE figure even with RPM needle hovering between 2500 to 3000 rpm in the 6D (Any owner can guess the speeds I am talking of), the speeds where the likes of Creta also fail to hit 10 kpl as the engine is already near it's peak. Trust me guys when I say this; if anyone thinks Crysta is an over priced vehicle; the 2.7 and 2.8 deserve a premium in themselves other than all other attributes of the car. Looking at the likes of Creta and Seltos; I feel that 2.8 and 2.7 are indeed value for money cars. Both of these motors, when on the boil; can give any C segment sedan or compact SUV or even full sized SUVs a run for their money on the highway. The 2.8 is brisk and the 2.7 - when on boil, this engine makes this van go like a rocket, seriously; I have done many duels between 2.8 and 2.7 and I am always surprised to see the 2.7 finally managing to overtake the 2.8 after both of them reach the stupendous numbers; no wonder - the peak torque point of diesel is over where the petrol actually starts pulling at higher revs. Last edited by VKumar : 7th January 2020 at 22:10. | |

Some sources that I know say that the BS6 Marazzo will have better interiors, a 140+ bhp engine and better dynamics. Can't wait for this one which might be a better value proposition by miles. | |

| ![]() Is 20K discount not way too less for BS4? I believe these are Dec manufactured ones. Innova usually have about 15K corporate cash discount throughout the year. |

Infact the highlight is that they went for the larger engine which is good for a 7 seater as there will be minimal lag and better drive-ability. | |

| ![]() 2019 there were two cars with the dealer which got sold for an overall benefit of 40k. For 2020 the current discount is 20k but I think it will increase for the AT since it has only private buyers and they would rather pay the small difference and book the BS6. I have asked him to sweeten the deal if he wants my booking. |

| ![]() Why is Toyota still not offering a diesel AT in the mid-spec VX trim? |
