My XUV500 has better quality plastics than this, even felt the Glanza’s plastics were much better.
BHPian mangoadmi recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Had a look at the ZX at Nandi Toyota on Friday. My observations:
Pros:
- Looks great from the front and rear.
- Amazing Colors: The Sapphire Black looks brilliant
- Driver Seat is very comfortable. Makes life easier with all the bells and whistles.
While I wait to drive the car, the real cons, which are more or fewer deal breakers for me are:
- Quality of Plastics: My XUV 500 was way way better, at half the price. Matter of fact, there was a Glanza that was parked in the showroom and the plastics on that were much better. Clicked some pictures of the same.
- The Lever to open the bonnet: My 1999 Santro had a better quality lever. Not that I open the bonnet every day, but in colloquial Kannada, this is called “Tagadu Dabbasi”
- Ottoman Seats: Useless – I am not 6″; At 5″7′ I will never be able to use them at full support. Legs get stuck below the driver’s seat.
- Rear Seats: Old Innova and Crysta possibly had better seats. 3 People could easily sit. This effectively is a 6-seater. The last seat is not for 3 people. Extremely difficult to rest the head on the headrest with 3 people in the 3rd row. The under-thigh support will not really help in long-distance journeys.
- The Lights in the cabin: My 2013 XUV-500 had all LED lights. Going back to normal bulbs!! Cost cutting is needed – But to this level?
Conclusion
I think except for the engine, (Which I haven’t really experienced, My XUV 500 was way better than this. I am possibly moving out of this and going for the Fortuner even though that is a big stretch financially. A stretch of 10L is better than rueing with a car that you don’t like for the next 10 years!
