      The mileage is average (around 18KMPL) as compared with Maruti Cars in the same price range that deliver around 20-22KMPL. The comfort is good and the interior is also value for money. Overall the car is good.

      It is an excellent car with the best comfort compared with the similar cars in this segment and offering good mileage, especially the 6-seater capacity, which is the primary and best feature among its rivals. The engine's performance is excellent. Its height is appreciable. Its main drawback is its rear appearance; it almost looks like an egg. It expects a new, improved design with special features and a good interior to compete with its rivals. Mainly, the price is to be reconsidered in the low range to attract middle-class buyers with some attractive offers, encouraging a high volume of sales. We hope it's arrival will blast rivals on sales volume and satisfaction in the Indian future car market.
