We got delivery of my TUV3OO T8 Manual on 11 November 2015. It was the first car that we purchase.
Now it’s being a months and covered more than 7000 kms since my dad
purchased my TUV 300. It is working perfect.
I have observed that many people are comparing this vehicle with
Ford eco sports, Duster or even Hyundai Creta. I think you cannot
compare TUV 300 with these vehicles because it will not be
justified. As all these vehicles are not a SUV but are big pumped
up hatch backs.
There are basic technological feature of a SUV such as: -
- Rear wheel drive( For better Stability and Off road
capabilities)
Ladder frame chassis
Double fishbone suspension for front and Multi Link
suspension for rear.( Durable in any kind of terrains)
Please check specification of any real SUV( e.g. Scorpio, Innova,
TATA Safari or Fortuner) .
None of these cars( Eco Sports, Duster and Creta) has any of
these technologies.
SUV means ruggedness, for which you need above mentioned
technologies.
I think if you are a real adventure lover and want to feel confident
while driving your vehicle in any kind of terrain, TUV300 is the best
option available in the price range with all Real SUV advantages.
If need to compare, I will compare this vehicle with Mahindra
Scorpio. All those who drove Mahindra Scorpio before and love the
vehicle, I bet you will love this Mini Scorpio. Yes, this is what I call
TUV 300.
Technically TUV 300 got the same structure as of New
Scorpio, Similar gear box, better ground clearance and same ride
quality.
Finally Verdict: It is a very good option for a entry level SUV, You
can enjoy city drive and also enjoy terrains like in Manali-Leh
highway.
