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 5.4m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Good ground clearance for everyday Indian road conditions. Large footprint makes narrow lanes challenging, but visibility helps.
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. Cabin noise is well-controlled at city speeds; some wind noise creeps in on highways. Limited 216L boot space constrains luggage capacity. Third-row seating is best for children; adults may find it cramped on long journeys.
