My Experience (W8) Petrol

Hello, I am here to share my experience after ~2 years and ~20 thousand KM of usage. This might help the prospective buyers to shortlist this Indian brand and the model. In my opinion, this is the best car and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who is looking to own one in this segment. Let me be very clear, I am not an Auto expert or I am not comparing it with any of its peers. I am just sharing my experience in the past couple of years as a normal user. Few points to mention: This is a spacious car with a lot of legroom and it has got a lot of storage options. Very comfortable to drive both in the city and the highways, cruise control works seamlessly, wider tires give better grip and comfort in the worst roads. Very powerful engine (notably there is a Turbo lag, but it doesn't matter as I am not using this for any dirt race. The engine is thirsty for fuel for sure as most of the reviews you might have seen this, lemme give few facts which I have noted down and this might change your perspective about this. The method used to calculate mileage: Full tank to Full tank (fill full tank fuel, drive from location A to B, again fill the fuel full tank, KM's covered divided by the number of liters consumed is the actual mileage) 1. Stingy Mode: (A/C off, Windows open, normal load, road condition required gear shift between 2nd to 5th, max speed 75 km/h): Result was unbelievable, it has given move than 18 km/l mileage. ( This is not very practical though). 2. Long Drive: (A/C always on, all types of roads(Best to worst you can think of..), gear shifts 4th to 6th most of the time, max speed): Result: approx 15 km/l. 3. City Mode: (A/C always on, heavy to moderate traffic): Result: Approx 10-12 km/l. 4. Sports Mode: (A/C always on, heavy acceleration, max speed): Result: 12-13 km/l. I hope this gives you a fair idea of how the engine behaves with your driving conditions. This certainly does justice, For those who are looking for the best mileage in this segment please stay away from this, if you wanna enjoy your driving please go for it. I will not talk about safety features, CZ I will go with NCAP rating which is already 5 star. I will not talk about a lot of other features IOT etc.. which other brands provide, CZ practically those are of no much use for me. Yes, boot space is less, but it's sufficient for a micro family. Finally the price, I feel it's at par with other brands, yes I too feel it's a little expensive but trust me it does justice for its value. After-sales service is so far so well didn't face any issue till now. To conclude: If you are a light-footed user then you can expect 14-15 km/l mileage from this, in high speed also the vehicle is very stable and very little cabin noise. This is definitely fun to drive vehicle.
