What Could Be Better
- Extremely expensive at ₹46.50 Lakh ex-showroom — costs more than many luxury SUVs in India
- CBU import pricing makes it nearly 2x the price of comparable 7-seater SUVs in India
- No diesel engine option — only petrol, limiting choice for high-mileage users
- Fuel efficiency will be low given the 2.0L turbo petrol and AWD — not economical for daily commuting
- 345L boot space with all seats up is small for a 7-seater — most rivals offer 400L+
- Third row space is adequate for children only — adults will find it tight for long journeys
- No ventilated or heated second row seats despite premium pricing
- No rear seat entertainment screens for second row passengers
- No spare wheel — only space-saver steel spare (145/85 R18) provided
- No hybrid or plug-in hybrid option for improved fuel economy and lower running costs
- Limited dealership network equipped to service CBU import vehicles — specialized training required
- Spare parts availability may be limited and expensive due to CBU import nature
- Long-term resale value uncertain — niche CBU imports typically depreciate faster than locally assembled luxury cars
- Road tax and insurance costs will be significantly higher due to CBU import pricing
- DSG gearbox reliability concerns in extreme Indian stop-and-go traffic and hot weather conditions
- Ground clearance not officially specified — likely around 180-185mm which is adequate but not class-leading
- No manual transmission option for driving purists
- 7-seater SUV market is highly competitive with more affordable options from Toyota, MG, and Mahindra
