My Dream car. Gives a Royal feeling on the roads. It sure gets the respect from the guy in front who takes ONE look in the rear view and swerves to the left to give you was,hence,you dont need to honk your way in traffic.
I have driven long hours on this and never felt exhausted. Longest trip was from Bhubaneswar to Ranchi(about 500 odd kms). Smooth ride,never knew when we reached the destination.
Air conditioner doesn't really bother the pick up of this mighty turbo engine.Neither does the weight of 12 guys loaded inside this mammoth.
Offroad also it gives you a great experience but if you're not a seasoned driver you may end up knocking off your suspension.Road grip is great even without a road so this SUV never skids.
It gives me great mileage on the highways (11.5 km) but driving this car in the town is not a thrilling experience.Mainly due to the design of the gear box which revs up the RPM on the second,but the vehicle starts coughing and pickup drops if you change it to third.As a result you again gotta bring ot back to second where the tachometer again shoots up.
Overall a real fun car if you really love cars and know a bit of good driving. Not meant for those who just buy a car and for its name and have'nt a clue whats under the hood.
