Cons

  • ADAS is available in petrol variants only
  • The turbo petrol motor is not much fuel efficient which can be a bummer in city traffic
  • The substantial size of the body accentuates the body roll within the cabin
  • In the Plus variants, the third row is confined and is best suited for children
  • The cabin space could have been improved and seating 3 passengers in the rear can be a tight fit.
  • The plastic quality could have been improved on some panels.
  • The suspension setup is on the stiffer side which filters in potholes and bumps at slow speeds.
  • There is no diesel or hybrid option on offer.
  • It misses on Highline TPMS.

      Great comfort car with little body roll. But absolute luxury, superb drive experience, and luxury in the car. Highway mileage is good at 15 to 17, but the city is a little low, but with busy traffic, you are still able to get between 9 and 11. The lowest is 8 kmpl on hard braking. 100% recommended if someone is looking to buy.
