Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Great driving experience with German-styled dynamics and handling.
  • Has top-class safety standards with 6 airbags and 5-star GLOBAL NCAP ratings.
  • Comes with strong build quality and brilliant driving dynamics
  • It has almost every feature in the segment. These include ventilated seats, wireless charging, and connectivity.
  • Both engines are powerful and have decent fuel economy.
  • The 1.5L TSI EVO motor gets cylinder de-activation technology for enhanced fuel efficiency.
  • The boot space is decent in numbers but has great space and practicality.
  • More practical family car with 5-door configuration as compared to Thar & Gurkha
  • The interior offers decent space for 4-adults and some small luggage
  • The retro-modern design looks good and the striking colour options make it a head-turner.
  • The lightweight and small dimensions make it easy to manoeuvre
  • The car offers many features. Such as a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity, LED headlamps, cruise control, and headlamp washer.
  • The 4X4 hardware is standard across all trims
  • The 1.5-litre NA K15B engine is fuel efficient. It also comes with the option of a smooth torque converter automatic transmission.
  • Many safety features are available. These include 6 airbags, traction control, hill-hold and hill descent control, 3-point seatbelts for all, brake-based limited-slip differential, and ESP.
Cons
  • The cabin space could have been improved and seating 3 passengers in the rear can be a tight fit.
  • The plastic quality could have been improved on some panels.
  • The suspension setup is on the stiffer side which filters in potholes and bumps at slow speeds.
  • There is no diesel or hybrid option on offer.
  • It misses on Highline TPMS.
  • The 1.5-liter NA petrol engine with 103 bhp power isn't as enjoyable to drive as the engines in the Thar and Gurkha.
  • The small size doesn't give it a tough off-roader look
  • The steering isn't light; it feels firm
  • The 5-speed manual transmission has a heavy clutch
  • The footwell area is a bit cramped; tall drivers might find it uncomfortable
  • Strictly a 4-seater; fitting a 5th passenger will be difficult
  • It lacks some features like LED DRLs, TPMS, and auto wipers, among others
  • There's limited storage inside the cabin, and the boot space is only suitable for small bags
