What you’ll like:
• An SUV’ish hatchback! A unique offering in many ways
• Likeable cabin. Good interior space for a car with such a small footprint. Lots of storage too
• Both engines are city-friendly, while the gearshift quality is simply superb!
• Urban / low speed ride quality is compliant
• ABS standard across the range. Dual Airbags optional on all variants
• The features: DRLs, ambient lighting, power & eco modes ( diesel) , Blue Sense App, front armrest, cooled glovebox, Isofix child seat mounts etc.
What you won’t:
• Overdone styling! The side profile, in particular, is weird
• Handling, NVH & braking are all poor at 100+ kph. Engines also lack punch on the highway
• Electric steering is horribly calibrated. Very vague, with inconsistent weight at speed
• It’s not a 6-seater. That seating position is cramped & unsafe
• Useable space in the boot is much lesser than its on-paper spec would have you believe
• Mahindra’s after sales service is a hit or miss
