Tata Hexa question

Q. How has been your experience with Tata Hexa regards to service, fuel efficiency, AC and driving comfort?

Vijay | 1 day ago Service is excellent of Tatas now. They do followups on post service to know your experience. Coming to driving comfort it is very good. It's been 2 years I'm driving Hexa with 30k clocked on my odometer and it's still smooth and no vibrations so far... Also I noticed engine noise levels are lower than an innova. Suspension being another good part in the vehicle. It easily obsorbs bad roads. I did a top speed of 175km comfortably (not recommended though,I was just checking the stability). AC is excellent even being a big cabin. Fuel efficiency is good compared to its rivels. It will easily give you 16kmpl on highways with AC on and 12 in the city conditions. You can even push further if you maintain the RPM. I got 19kmpl for 300km drive when maintained the RPM below 2000. My only concern is it wobbles a little bit in second gear but not sure if this is the problem with all vehicles or just mine. But my overall experience is wonderful with this vehicle. My old vehicle is optra magnum and it is still pleasure to drive vehicle unlike Tatas. But Hexa is still a good choice I made. You may consider it. ...Read More 1 Reply

Dheeraj | 4 days ago Service 10/10,AC and driving comfort 10/10, Fuel efficiency is very subjective matter.. you can squeeze upto 20 kmpl without AC on highways if you don't press accelerator aggressively and cross the RPM around 1700 rpm in all gears. It touches 90 km plus at 1700 rpm. However for normal driving expect 10 kmpl in city and 14 kmpl on highways with AC on. In severe summer conditions the mileage can drop to 9 kmpl in city and 13 on highway. In Winters city mileage can be upto 11 and highways 15, taking out the speedo errors. Hope it works for you. ...Read More 1 Reply

I am convinced that Hexa is a very solid product and probably the BEST in ride comfort. But i am worried about whether Tata will continue with Hexa post April 2020 when the BSVI norms kick in. If Tata decides to discontinue the Hexa, then after-sales-service may get affected. Do kindly share your kind views on the same pls. ...Read More 1 Reply

Suzuki Gixxer question

Q. Which one is better Gixxer or Apache RTR 160 4V?

Bryan | 1 day ago Hen it came down to choosing a fun 160cc motorcycle, the Suzuki Gixxer was our pick of the lot. It made a lot of sense for those who wanted to ride to the hills on Sunday and commute to work on a Monday. There's a new motorcycle in the segment now, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4v; one that promises this and a lot more. Will the reigning champion of the segment have cause to worry then?The Suzuki Gixxer is such a lively motorcycle that it's hard to ignore it. Its peppy motor, lightweight and flickable nature makes it a delight in the city and if that's the boundary that you are going to stick to, the Gixxer still makes a lot of sense. As much as we love the Gixxer, it is dethroned by the TVS Apache RTR 160 4v. It is equally well built, makes more power and handles better when you turn the wick up. And it does all of this in a calm manner. At Rs 95,237 OTR Mumbai, the Apache is priced a shade below the Gixxer SP (Rs 97,000) and that pretty much seals the deal in favour of the TVS, the new segment king!. ...Read More 1 Reply

ISUZU D-MAX V-Cross question

Q. How is the on road and off road performance of ISUZU D-MAX V-CROSS PICK UP?

P | 3 weeks ago On Road: remember it is a big truck...5.3 m long (and if you have arb bumper add another 8-10inches) and a 2 ton vehicle..Note: this is an overlander vehicle and not an offroader To long for offroading...Thar or Gurkha is better It is extremely drivable...clutch is soft and smooth, steering is not heavy..brakes are good..though panic braking will make the 3 channel abs sweak a lot and scare both you and the people outside...(This is normal abs behavior) very quite for its size and power All around visibility is like a truck..there are blind spots..the A pillar is sure blind spot...front is okay..rear is clear on mirrors but side os a bit bad..you may like to install a 2 in blind spot mirrorDear is above average cars around..only commercial tucks are your competition Power: enough and more..no shortage of power however the gear ratios are biased towards the first gear..very high torque..but 2nd and 3rd are starved...if there was some here than in1st it would have been excellent in city traffic so in city one needs to be in lower gears..Warning Don't try to race an Innova or Fortuner..they have more power and torque...but if you are a better driver than a Then okay..Xuv at start will beat..but short distance from the start you will win..Going uphill on 1st..may lead to stalling of you don't know how to drive..remap solves some problems Ride: bumpy but not much..after all it is leaf spring in rear..a suspension change to ironman or oldman emu is a must Milage:heavy Bangalore kind city traffic 8.5 to9 highways anywhere from 12.5 to 31 Yes 31...if driven properly folks have averaged upto 31..though I will not recommend as you have bought truck and not a moped Minimal maintenance needs no need for oil catchOffroading...too long for offroading...too heavy...torque and power not sufficient..remap must..more skill required..But 8 out 10 situations it will sail through..16in RIM with 245 profile would be better..higher has impact on gear ratio and will make it bad..but a 245 looks very small... 275 on 16 looks ideal.. ...Read More 4 Reply

Zigwheels | 2 months ago This is a load-lugging motor, so no surprises why the engine follows a ‘torque-first’ philosophy. All 320Nm of the twisty goodness is delivered from just 1,800rpm, so the powertrain needs nearly no revs to get moving even in 2nd gear and also offers impeccable in-gear acceleration. This makes city driving a breeze, with the engine egging you on to upshift early. The clutch pedal feels amazingly light to use too.The best part is, while like the MU-7, the D-Max V-Cross is solar-system-big, its proportions are backed up by actual off-road ability, thanks to the shift-on-the-fly 4x4 system with low-range. Throw in the 225mm of ground clearance and you might find yourself looking for a challenge to tackle even in regular settings. However, the approach and departure angles aren’t ideal for hardcore off-roading. The V-Cross is more practical than purpose-built off-roaders, but that does come with an understandable compromise on the go-anywhere factor. That said, the modification prospects are aplenty and a little tinkering can enhance the V-Cross’s appeal both mechanically and cosmetically. ...Read More 2 Reply
Honda BRV question

Q. Which car I should go for and why, Maruti Ertiga or Honda BRV?

Israr | 1 month ago That's a tough one but as i have driven both cars and own one i think o might help you differentiate between this two and hopefully give you some basis to make your decisionSo let's start with the obvious differenceThat is brv is an old car and new ertiga is just a few months old in the marketErtiga is cheaper than brv and basically both are mpvs but i think brv is more of an estate car than a suv/mpv so brv handles a lot better than ertiga and ride quality is pretty neutral not too stiff nor too soft so because its suspension is setup in such a way brv's high-speed stability is really good, ertiga it rides good its ride quality is more in the softer side which is comfortable in city but on highway after certain speed rear of the car feels bouncy but if the car is loaded with passengers then it won't experience that on highway, since brv is older than ertiga got lot more features than brv, whereas for brv you can opt for optional touchscreen infotainment system with apple car play and Android auto for any variant whereas high features list on ertiga is limited to top two trim levels sk you have to pay a lot to get more, ertiga is slightly more spacious than brv but brv's 3rd row seating is more usable and even 2 adults can sit there for small journeys whereas ertiga 3rd row is limited for children only, now perfomance ertiga comes with 1.5-litre petrol engine which develops about 100 hp and 132nm of Torque and diesel engine of 1.3 litre develops 88hp and 200nm of Torque, so car would struggle to keep the pace up when its filled with passengers and their luggage on other side brv comes with legendary 1.5-litre vtec engine that develops 120 hp and 145nm of Torque and this engine is riot to drive it keeps pulling towards it redline like crazy acceleration is really good for car of this size and other engine that comes with brv is 1.5-litre diesel that's not so legendary and makes about 100 hp and 200 nm of Torque its a good engine but its loud and not refined. Well basically ertiga lies in the lower category to brv which will cost you about 13 lacs on road for top trim and brvs top trim will costs you about 15 lacs on road. In short ertiga is no more a cheap alternative to Toyota innova its now more capable more good looking and packed with decent features, whereas brv mpv that drives like a Sedan accelerates and handles as good as a Sedan and yes can sit 7 passengers for long trips without tiring any of with its easy drive ability. I would suggest if you want a proper 7 seater and occasionally take it on highway then close your eyes and buy ertiga in an heart but if like cruising on highways and go on to rough roads where not many cars can go and sit 7 passengers then brv is definitely one to consider but of you need a proper Suv and seats for 7 then there are other alternatives for example Tata hexa brilliant suv brilliant off roader, or xuv500 decent Suv with decent off roading capabilities. ...Read More 9 Reply

Maruti Swift question

Q. How is Swift Diesel?

balakrishnan | 1 month ago Swift diesel is a pleasure to drive.1) Turbo kicks in at 1500 to 1800 RPM. You feel a sudden surge of power. It is like an elephant pushing the car from behind.2) gives good mileage 20 to 26 km with AC on high ways, & around 16 km in city traffic per litre of diesel.3) In Diesel cars, more passengers or heavy load & running AC does not increase fuel consumption,, while in petrol cars, it proportionately increases fuel consumption4)Maintenance costs are higher, compared to petrol sibling, but for those doing more than 50 km per day, diesel works cheaper5) once you get addicted to diesel swift, you become a diesel fan for life6) Typically maintenance costs are reasonable for 7 years, after which service costs double or triple due to replacement of parts, like alternators, batteries, Turbo, intercooler, shock absorbers etc, but it also depends on your driving.& quality of diesel used.7) Even after 10 years, maintenance costs of swift diesel are most affordable, compared to competitors like Volkswagen, Skoda, Hyundai etc.8) I have a 2007 swift diesel, which has completed 4 lakh km, & still going strong. The multi jet diesel engine has given no trouble at all except for replacing timing chain every lakh km, as well as cleaning the injectors, every lakh km.9) servicing done at every 10,000 km, while normal service costs ₹6000, after 10 years, costs are double or triple the amount of Normal service.10)Major costs, incurred have been for replacing turbo (₹10,000) intercooler (₹5000) Alternator (₹20,000) as these need to be replaced, after 2 lakh km.11) minor costs include, cleaning EGR valves, replacing clutch set every 60 to 80 K,, replacing gas filled shock absorbers, ( ₹5000), overhauling suspension ( ₹10,000), the last two, after covering every lakh km, again it depends on your driving style & good roads can save you, these costs.12) so if you drive less than 30 km a day, go for petrol, if you want to enjoy, the pleasure of driving, or drive more than 50 km a day, go for diesel swift. ...Read More 3 Reply
