6. Driving & Comfort

Driving & Comfort Assessment

Performance Score8.0/10
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.

Highway Performance

125 bhp provides confident highway cruising with adequate overtaking power.

Ride & Comfort

Torsion beam rear suspension handles most road imperfections adequately. Cabin noise is well-controlled at city speeds; some wind noise creeps in on highways.
