Overall, the car returned a mileage of 17.8 kmpl in my 1st tankful since delivery.

A short write-up about my experience on my weekend trip to Solapur from Pune (around 250-260 kms one way). We were 3 people and some light luggage.
Driving Impressions:
- I feel the suspension tuning of the front is not really VERY comfortable (but comfortable, nonetheless) and potholes, undulations of road percolate inside with some drama (not a big deal, but still, it is noticeable).
- I am 5’8″ and I feel the lumbar support is missing in the driver seat. I need to carry a pillow for the same now. On the issue of left leg rubbing the center console silver trim, I noticed it initially, but it didn’t become a source of discomfort.
- The car pulls away with ease, overtakes with ease and is easily steerable. It is effortless to drive. It gets noisy when you want to overtake, but nothing which will make you scream if you want to talk to your passengers.
- The AC is really perfect in quickly cooling down the front cabin. I didn’t have to change any setting except maintain at 24 degrees with fan speed of 2 or 3.
- Broken patches of road, off-road are all easily conquered without bottoming out.
Passenger Impressions – I spent some time in the middle row too and these are the impressions:
- The suspension tuning is much better in the back and you don’t feel anything which you would’ve felt in the front. This is despite only me being in the middle row and the last row folded down with some luggage.
- The AC vents are not air tight, hence, you would feel the draft hitting on your head even when you have closed the vents. Not ideal.
- I only miss the single touch tumble down seats when my extended family had to hop in and out of the car. Plus, the middle seat doesn’t fold flat which could’ve liberated space for a bed (in future travels, not missed right now).
Overall, the car returned a mileage of 17.8 kmpl in my 1st tankful since delivery. Crossed 1000 kms mark on return. I had filled up HP Power petrol in Pune on delivery date and topped up with some standard petrol and then filled up with HP Power in Solapur.
