6. Driving & Comfort
Driving & Comfort Assessment
City Driving
Manual gearbox requires more effort in heavy traffic, but offers good control. Turning radius of 5.2m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Excellent ground clearance handles speed breakers and potholes with ease.
Highway Performance
130 bhp provides confident highway cruising with adequate overtaking power. Strong diesel torque of 300 Nm makes highway driving relaxed, especially in higher gears.
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. 350L boot space is adequate for weekend trips.
