Pros & Cons

Pros
  • More practical family car with 5-door configuration as compared to Thar & Gurkha
  • The interior offers decent space for 4-adults and some small luggage
  • The retro-modern design looks good and the striking colour options make it a head-turner.
  • The lightweight and small dimensions make it easy to manoeuvre
  • The car offers many features. Such as a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity, LED headlamps, cruise control, and headlamp washer.
  • The 4X4 hardware is standard across all trims
  • The 1.5-litre NA K15B engine is fuel efficient. It also comes with the option of a smooth torque converter automatic transmission.
  • Many safety features are available. These include 6 airbags, traction control, hill-hold and hill descent control, 3-point seatbelts for all, brake-based limited-slip differential, and ESP.
  • Cabin has good legroom on offer, supportive seats, perfect ergonomics & enough storage
  • Two different petrol turbocharged engines on offer
  • GT version looks smashing
Cons
  • The 1.5-liter NA petrol engine with 103 bhp power isn't as enjoyable to drive as the engines in the Thar and Gurkha.
  • The small size doesn't give it a tough off-roader look
  • The steering isn't light; it feels firm
  • The 5-speed manual transmission has a heavy clutch
  • The footwell area is a bit cramped; tall drivers might find it uncomfortable
  • Strictly a 4-seater; fitting a 5th passenger will be difficult
  • It lacks some features like LED DRLs, TPMS, and auto wipers, among others
  • There's limited storage inside the cabin, and the boot space is only suitable for small bags
  • No MT option available with the 1.5 TSI
  • No Diesel engine on offer
  • Reliability issues of the DQ 200 Dual Clutch transmission
