    • It has proven its worth in the rural areas, tier 2 & tier 3 cities
    • The only SUV under Rs 10 lakh with a RWD drivetrain

    • The car comes with features like a 360-degree camera, a 4-way powered driver seat, a BOSE 7-speaker sound system, auto-dimming IRVM, wireless charging, and more.
    • The design includes a dual-screen connected panel with a full digital cluster. It has a 10.25-inch color LCD MID and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment.
    • It is available with 3 engine options: 1.2-litre NA petrol, 1.0-litre turbo petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The HTK+ variant is available with all three engine options making it a good option.
    • Diesel engine is available starting from the base HTE variant
    • Different types of transmission options are available depending on the engine. The DCT gearbox is available starting with the HTX variant at Rs 12.29 lakh.
    • The interior comes with an option of 5 colour themes and offers a premium feel

    • The plastic quality feels cheap and panel gaps are evident
    • It handles rough roads with ease but the ride quality on the tarmac is quite bumpy
    • The top model is priced over Rs 10 lakh which does not offer much value for money considering the features it gets
    • No automatic transmission with the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine
    • The lower models lack features. The company only reserves most of the good features for the higher variants.

    • The 10.25-inch infotainment does not support Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
    • The top-of-the-line X-line trim comes with a high price tag specially with diesel engine
