The tyres perfectly grip down to the road and its a perfect size SUV for long journey the higher variants offer electric sunroof and apple carplay and android auto and other features the air bags are loaded perfectly which makes it the safest car on the road the seat and electric adjustable with height control on offer . There is a mid end lag and for cost control there are hard plastic in the dashboard . Reverse parking sensors are there but not with adaptive guidelines for the rear camera though the camera quality is nice .The boot space is massive and seat gets 60-40 split the reserved tyre is not an alloy offered . Head rest are adjustable and overall the car gets a sporty look making it quite attractive . Halogens are there it misses projector head lamps . Anyway the manual transmission is the one I prefer
