Got my Altroz delivered on the 11th of June and since day 1, it has exceeded my expectations. First off, the build quality is top-notch.

Styling is best in class and I could assure you that you wouldn't have seen a better-looking hatch in the roads. Even in its base Variant, the car is very eye-catching. Coming to the interiors, space is ample and you could easily fit in a family of 5.

The interior quality and the materials usedares also very good. Though there are many hard plastic bits, they don't feel cheap.

Ride and handlinareis very good and the ride quality

is very nice. The engine feels responsive in 2.5k- 4k rpm. In the lower and higher rev range, the revs climb very slowly.

The car feels very stable at high speeds. It could cruise in 100-130 kmph, but after that, the engine feels very stressed. Overtaking in highways require pre-planning and sudden overtaking is not much possible. This is the only downside that I've experienced. But the car is no slouch either.

In cities, it is very easier to overtake in 3rd or 4th gears and you will feel that the car is adequately powered for its weight. Brakes are really sure-footed and theare is no nose dives. Boot space is ample and it is well practical.

There are many reviews where the Altroz is described as underpowered. But I have felt the lack of power only above 1mphmph. Below that, if you are in the right gear, you would feel that the car is well powered if you are on the right gear. On the whole, it is a very good buy if space, looks and ride quality is your utmost priority.

User of HEXA XTA since last 3yrs 40k kms, after using Maruti Suzuki and Hoda. Overall experience very satisfying and HEXA is truly value for money for the people who loves long drive and has big family. Also for the people whose priority is comfort and safety of passengers , not infotainment feature or add on luxury or convenient features.
