Was reiterated that there are reinforcements done to improve safety.
BHPian kumarprabhatn recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Had my TD today morning. Apparently was the first one to take it. Took a drive on the inner road and on the main road before the traffic started to form. Below are my observations:
- Well balanced suspension
- Best camera setup I’ve seen
- Lane Keep Assist – more like lane keep enforcement. Honda cars have gentler assist. Might want to switch this off on roads where lane discipline isn’t followed. Else, will end up banging someone.
- Stiff steering
- VW twins have comparatively smoother gear shifts. Eco mode is closer to this. Normal / Sports mode had visibly harsher gear shifts. It looks like Normal / Sports mode is to be used once you are on the highway driving 60+ km/h.
- Paddle shifters are good. However, they aren’t respected if I want to upshift at low speeds.
- Was reiterated that there are reinforcements done to improve safety. Also, aluminium padding on the DCT gearbox to reduce heat.
- Too many buzzers due to ADAS. I understand these are new and part of the package and can be disabled, however, coming from i20, just taking a simple reverse was alarming/annoying sometimes. I was thinking, did I hit somewhere?
- Overall, a worthy package
My SA told me they are planning to finish deliveries by Aug for all those who have pre-booked.
