5. Manual Transmission: Driving the MT version is a delight, thanks to its short, smooth gear throws.

7. Fuel Efficiency: The 1.2L, 3-cylinder, Z-series engine is remarkably fuel efficient, with an ARAI rating of 25.71 km/l for AMT, 24.79 km/l for the MT and 33.73 km/kg for the CNG.

 

8. Comfortable Ride: The suspension offered a comfortable ride, soaking up bumps nicely and providing neutral behaviour on the road.

9. Handling: It is important to acknowledge that the handling is as impressive as the Swift's. Even around corners, it feels progressive and well-controlled, offering excellent road grip.

 

10. Feature-Rich: It is a feature-loaded vehicle, offering several first-in-segment features, like an electric sunroof. It offers automatic LED headlamps, LED DRLs, LED fog lamps, cruise control, a 9-inch touchscreen system with Arkamys sound, rear A/C vents, wireless charging, footwell lighting, and connected car tech.

Mediocre Plastics: The interior plastics feel basic and typical Maruti-grade, which could be better.

 

Jerky AMT: The AMT gearbox is jerky and feels slow. It lacks the smoothness offered by some rivals like the Amaze CVT.
