Design and Appeal
This car has got something in extra amount of doze that is atitude and style! The looks is absolutely stunnig. Sleek bodyline and elongated dual barrel led headlamps give it edgy look.

Power and Drivetrain
In an SUV usally 4WD drive what you will want but here 2WD drive is only on offer which is a bummer. Hyundai cater this one as an softroader. This car got the same engine from elantra and doesn’t get enogh tourque on demand which is slightly dissapointing. The diesel motor is adequate on power and tourque which is mated to 182hp and 400nm of tourqe with turbocharged but the petrol is a big NO NO.

Gear is slightly springy which is a bit of concern.Overall this car is suited for urban usage.As it’s offroad capabilities doesn’t outperformes rivals. But car is quickest in segment and braking is efficient to. 17inch wheel is standard upto GL trim. 18inch is only for GLS trim.

It’s loaded with features and interior is plush to.You will just feel how premium it is when you step inside which is a major point of this vehicle and it will easily beat other to this respect. Seats are extremly confortable and Driving console is perfect. Cabin is airy and has good amount of legroom and head for rear passengers. Overall the best in the segment.
