6. Driving & Comfort
Driving & Comfort Assessment
Performance Score7.5/10
Comfort Score6.5/10
City Driving
Manual gearbox requires more effort in heavy traffic, but offers good control. Turning radius of 5.3m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Excellent ground clearance handles speed breakers and potholes with ease.
Highway Performance
The 114 bhp engine is sufficient for highway cruising but needs planning for quick overtakes.
Ride & Comfort
Torsion beam rear suspension handles most road imperfections adequately. High ground clearance gives confidence over rough patches and unpaved roads. Road and engine noise are noticeable, typical for this segment. 385L boot space is adequate for weekend trips.
