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 | 2 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 2 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 1 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 6 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 2 Reply

The Jeep has already been a leader in the SUV segment, there are no cross questions on that. When it comes to a detailed comparison Jeep Compass is loaded with features like sun/moon roof, adjustable Headlights, better fuel economy, Rear Parking Sensors and 8.4-Inch UConnect Infotainment Screen etc whereas Ford Endeavour gets a Cruise Control, Smart Access Card Entry,Voice Control, Central Console Armrest, Tyre Pressure Monitor and Hill Assist etc.Hyundai Creta has been a Compact SUV with amazing ergonomics, get drivability and comfortable features.

The Harrier has been glorified with silver accents on the dash, the beautifully finished faux wood s***p that runs above the silver accents and the enlighted use of chrome around the wide 8.8-inch infotainment screen (7-inch on the XM and XT variants) and centre air-con vents is tasteful indeed. On the topic of lights, the headlamps get HID projectors for the low beam while the high beam is a halogen unit. The top-end XZ variant has boosted by the JBL audio setup. With 4 tweeters, 4 speakers, 1 subwoofer and an external amplifier, it is just a silhouette of the live performance.

Kawasaki Z650 question

Q. I currently own a Duke 390, 2018 model and my usage is mostly for commuting and weekend rides. Is Z650 a good upgrade keeping in mind the above?

Kai | 1 month ago I have a Z650 and had a Duke390 my advice is don't do it. The Duke is heaps more fun and corners way better. The stock Z tires are outright dangerous in the rain and the suspensions are soft and comfortable which are not suitable for cornering. Since you have a Duke I already know comfort and soft suspensions are not your gig. I regret my upgrade so I hope you don't make the same mistake as I did. I have it for about 1 year now and I am looking to trade it in. To be honest, I would rather get the Benelli 600i since that has 4 cylinders and adjustable shocks. The Z forks are not inverted and non adjustable. I would advise getting a used duke690 or if you have the cash go for the 790. I am not from India so I don't the the prices there but around the price of the Z you could check out the Yamaha MT-07 the only reason I didn't get it was because the MT-07 didn't have abs the year I was getting the Z and I feel that ABS is a must for me. The MT-07 is a faster bike. More horse power and torque weights about the same and has a bigger community. It's resale value is also higher. The Z feels very cheap in the feel of the dash (no average speed of trip like the duke) it looks good but I prefer the Yamaha. It's brighter and cleaner. The Z dash is often too dim in the sun. By no means I am bashing the Z. It's a good bike. It's dependable and good on fuel but it feels like a sedan instead of a sports car if you want to make a comparison with cars. The Duke is a hard bike to beat if you exclude the reliability issues but the fun is much more rewarding then the flaws. I mean I had 3 cracked airboxes and 1 head gasket in 2 years with the duke. All covered by warranty and I get to hang out at the KTM shops. I had no problems with the z so far except I lowsided the day I picked it up because I was hitting a corner that I hit everyday on the duke the same way with new tires and wasn't used to the springy soft suspensions. It all depends on what you want. I would say MT-07 or TnT 600i if you are buying brand new for about the same price. 600i has highest hp out of the 3 and has adjustable suspensions. Mt-07 is same price as the Z and has more torque and hp. Z excels in the braking out of them all but I can't say I like it's handling and I'm 5'11 and feel cramped on it. I can flat foot on it and it fits my wife who is 5'8. Just a side note the Z also has no immoblizer so it can be easily stolen. I had to replace a key after I lost it and the shop I normally go to told me to go to Kawasaki for key programming but it turns out all Thailand assembled Kawasakis don't have immoblizers. ...Read More 3 Reply

Shekhar | 1 month ago Z650 is one bike that fits in all the squares and go ahead blindfolded in case you're a good practical biker. If you're interested in sound and heat and image concious with no brainers on handling and peace of mind you're not a Z candidate. ...Read More 0 Reply

Honda BRV question

Q. Which is a better vehicle amongst BRV, Creta and Marazzo?

Israr | 2 months ago If your seriously rich and dont care about the money then creta is a good car because its seriously overpriced and doesn't have good highspeed stability, on the other hand both brv and marrazo are seriously good cars both are mpv but here marrazo is better because it has more space and is more comfortable but a bit more expensive than brv and brv is a good car aswell specially its 1.5-litre vtec engine is seriously good and makes the car quick from 0-100 in 10 sec while marrazo does it in 13 sec but marrazo has more features than brv, brv gets push start and keyless entry but marrazo doesn't but still marrazo has an advantage over brv in features, and of you care about vehicle dynamics then creta has so much understeer while driving around the corner and lot of bodyroll and lacks steering precision and breaks are soggy aswell, Mahindra marrazo does understeer a lot, has really huge amount of bodyroll, but highspeed stability is good better than creta and breaks are better than creta atleast on highway speed, on the other hand brv's highspeed stability is great, bodyroll is there but not as much as creta or marrazo, steering feel and precision is great as well breaks are brilliant but let's be honest we don't buy this cars to drive around the corners or go fast so my verdict would be if you need fancy and featuristic car, good acceleration and don't mind spending nearly 18.3 lacs on a car that cant seat more than 5 passengers then go for creta but if you like driving and good acceleration, good handling and have to seat more than 6 passengers then brv is a great car do it but you don't mind handling and vehicle dynamics etc then marrazo is a serious car in my opinion if you're a family guy who needs a 7 seater and your budget is 17-18 lacs then go for marrazo, but if your budget is between 12-15 then go for brv wont be disappointed.I hope this helps ...Read More 5 Reply
