I did a Pune Mumbai return journey yesterday.

  • Car has returned about 22.8 kpl. Current ODO is 425 and still has about 625 km as range displayed. This is just awesome.
  • Suspension is a bit bumpy as compared to my Yaris which was very comfortable. Bumps and road undulations filter in.
  • Rear seat is not very comfortable. Again comparing it to Yaris which had a more relaxed seating position, under thigh support could have been better. Front seats are very comfortable
  • Sound system to my ears is good enough. Wireless ACP works seamlessly. Wireless charging is slow so prefer to charge with the 12V socket. Call quality is ok ok. Voice clarity of the microphone could be better.
  • AC works really well. Ventilated seats are a blessing.
  • Overtaking is not a problem. Just needs a bit of planning. Need to drive the car sedately car loves cruising at 100 kph. Enough for our roads Climbing ghats in eco mode is no problem. This is my default mode for all terrain.
  • Panaromic sunroof is awesome. Doesn't let the heat in. Infact I like the sun blind. Keeps the cabin airy. Installed a sun film on the sunroof for added effect.
  • Engine tends to sound like a diesel in ghats. There is a strange clacking sound (has been posted above). Will show it to service centre during first service
  • Speedy Blue dual tone looks attract a lot of attention. Gives the car a good character.
  • Ambient lighting is nice. Courtesy lamp, welcome lights are all good features. They should have provided backlit window switches. Need to grope in the dark. Unnecessary cost cutting.

Overall a good deal
