I got Elevate last month and here is my my view on the same. 1. Interiors won’t feel very plush but it’s very comfortable and easy on eyes. Hence pricing is much competitive. 2. Moonroof is just wide enough. I strongly believe Panasonic sunroof is just a show as it compromises the integrity of the car from roof side. 3. Elevate is good for people upto height of 6 feet. I am 5’11 so it’s just alright. Bonet view is superb and is notch above all the cars in this segment. 4. Engine options are lacking however Honda Engines are much reliable than all the engines in competition. 5. As rightly pointed while driving, superb control and ride quality is very good. 6. Yes 3 people in back is bit cramped however it’s good for family (me, wife, dad, mumma, and 4 year old kid) 7. Engine is noisy but what’s worth its take off after RPM of 3. It’s just a 🚀. I think price wise it’s a decent purchase and infact if driven nicely in cities it will give average of 12 13 KMPL. Will share the update after first service of the car.

I see more emphasis is more on feel good factors like sun roof than safety ratings, ADAS, reliability, long term maitainance, handling and high speed stability factors. These are key things that a review should emphasise so that new buyers can make an informed choice. Feel good things are something a potential buys can experience in showrooms. Howevers reviews and comparisons like this video should highlight the other factors

As a customer its a win win situation for us.. There are so many rival cars in this category and all are fantastic products in their own way.. For different requirement, there is something available there. Kushaq and astor are also there.. Curvv will be launched in few months. Don't hate any product guys.. Every product has its own USP, if not then the segment will be killed just by creta and GV. Ultimately we are winners due to luxury of 6-8 multiple products. 🔥🔥🔥

Im using GRAND VITARA alpha automatic smart hybrid variant. What AUTO CAR reviewr said in this review is absolutely right. I have done 3500kms. It is exactly the same opinion i have about the car. I felt the car to be little slow apart from that the car feels smooth and refined when you are not driving it in a hurry. It is a proper family car for a matured driver who doesn't wanna drive like a rally driver. Chassis of grand vitara is highly capable of having a much powerful engine but maruti prefers mileage as a selling point to indian customers. In city i get 14 and on highway easily 20.5 and above. The gearbox and engine is so tuned from mileage. Automatic grand vitara is very smooth and relaxing to drive.

@aksmakesvideos 7 ай бұрын

I will share a way to judge a car for yourself if you are out to get one (works with every other kind of comparo). 1. Break the whole scoresheet into different categories. Keep the number games out, just what you feel. Like comfort, not the suspension setup. Agility, not the power figure. 2. Give every category a multiplier score like from 1 to 5 based on how much you want from that category. 3. Score each car. It's always best to have all the stakeholders score and average them up. 4. Multiply the individual score with the multiplier for that category 5. Add up all the multiplied scores. 6. To factor in the price (if thats a concern) then you can minus that from a set number. Like here minus from 20. And give 20L car a 0, and 12L car an 8 (or 4 if it's 1-5). 7. You can add an addendum to reflect your personal liking (but that makes it less objective.) Try it!
