Coming as a Downgrade from XUV 500 W8, My reluctance to Buy this Car was overpowered by the pressure from my Doctors and My Family to move to a Lighter Steered AMT.
Hi I am Rajesh and I recovered from a Major Heart Attack and Underwent a Bypass in January 2023.
After Mandatory 2 months Rest, I had to resume Work and hence, I Purchased this Gem of a Car in March - 2023.
Variant RXZ AMT Dual tone.
Have Clocked 11 K Kms till date.
2 Servicings done - 2500 kms 1st and 10k Kms second.
Flawless Experience till date.
Mileage 11-12 in City ( Nashik)
Mileage 18-20 on Highways - Nashik Mumbai Highway.
It is a Non Turbo version but has a Sports mode which takes the Top speed upto 155 kmph on Highways.
Normal mode is ok for Highway driving and in City.
I Rarely use the Eco mode.
Audio is Excellent and the Touch screen is responsive.
Acceleration and Braking is Good.
Internal Space, Leg Room and Boot Space are Excellent.
Ride quality is slightly Bumpy.
Body Roll is negligible.
Headlights are Slightly insufficient for Highways.
Steering Feedback is Crisp and Handling is Butter smooth.
AMT is flawless but takes time to get used to. Once used to its shifts, it respond better over time with Acceleration timing.
Looks are definitely superior in is Class.
Easy to manoeuvre in City Traffic, Easy to park as well with Rear camera and Sensors helping precisely.
Cabin is noisy and external vehicles paying by sound a lot more than other cars.
Steering is Extremely light in normal mode and become heavier in sports mode.
Safely Ratings are Good and with 4 airbags, this will surely boost your confidence.
Renault Service has been positive till date.
1st Service costed Nothing
2nd Service costed ₹4400 with Semi synthetic Oil change. Full synthetic oil change costs 1800 more.
Since the Car is owned by my wife, Renault policy says free pick up and drop for Lady customers.
Purchased the Extended Warranty as well for ₹14, 500 at the time of 1st Service.
Car is now covered till 1, 00, 000 kms or 7 years.
Am in love with this cutie and I fondly call it my Lil Big Tiger and my Workhorse!
