The SUV gave an overall fuel efficiency of about 10 km/l. This includes city traffic, 130 odd km on the ghats section and the remaining 350-370 km on the highway.
BHPian Mike_Schumacher recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Came back from a 550ish kms drive comprising highways and a decent amount of Eastern Ghats section. I think I better understand the car now.
Some of the noticeable observations:
- Steady highway manners at 100kmph. I kept mostly at 80-100 with the highest being 120.
- The zip drive feels really slow after using the zoom mode. Zoom makes the car adequately rapid, but don’t expect to win too many races on the open highways.
- The climb ups and downs in the ghats section were absolutely effortless. Negotiating hairpin bends felt like a breeze. Hill hold assist, hill descent control work as intended.
- I found it difficult to find a comfortable seating position. Quite a bit of lower back stress while going. I found a better position after some adjustments and it was much better while coming back, but I think I will try additional lumbar supports going forward.
- 3-4 times within 12 hrs of driving, Android Auto got disconnected. Needed to disconnect the phone and reconnect. Seems like a minor software glitch.
- Overall mileage was just about 10. This includes city traffic, 130 odd kilometres on the ghats section and the remaining 350-370 kms on the highway.
- Last but not the least, wherever the car was parked, in the hotel, in the restaurants, there was almost always a small crowd gathered around the car.
Overall it was a hoot to drive, and I thoroughly enjoyed the car.
