Pros & Cons

•Good space for 4 adults: Accommodating front seats and spacious rear seats can seat 6 footers behind another.
•Covers all basics with cruise control, keyless entry, auto AC, powered windows and steering mounted controls.
•Sorted infotainment package with 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay and 6-speaker sound system.
•Super efficient petrol engine: Delivers around 15kmpl in the city with ease.

Things We Don't Like

•Interior quality could be better for the price. Too much plastic and not enough smooth surfaces.
•Limited performance: 3-cylinder engine, while adequate, doesn’t feel as peppy as the older 4-cylinder engine

•Dual cylinder CNG layout offers a usable boot space unlike other cars in the segment
•Space: Despite the small size, it can fit a 5’10’’ person behind another with space to spare
•Option of automatic transmission with CNG offers convenience with fuel efficiency
•Feels comfortable over potholes and remains stable at highway speeds

Things We Don't Like

•Features like rear AC vents, a better sound system and load sensors in the seats feel like a miss by today’s standards
•Rear seat could be better with adjustable headrests and central armrest
•AMT transmission: Feels slow and jerky when you ask for anything more than regular commutes
