Space, Utility & Safety
- Seating remains flexible: modular layout, with a foldable/removable third row. Good for families. renaultudaipur.com+1
- Boot space is reasonable when third row is folded; with all rows up, it’s more cramped. That’s expected. CarDekho+2RushLane+2
- Ground clearance is about 182 mm; dimensions remain sub-4m, helping with city maneuverability. ZigWheels.com+2Oto+2
- Safety: multiple airbags (driver, passenger, and in some trims side/curtain), ABS, EBD, etc. Plus Global NCAP ratings mentioned, though child occupant safety trails a bit. Renault India+1
What Works, What Might Not
Strengths:
- Value for money: for those who want 7 seats on a tighter budget, this is one of the more attractive options. Indiatimes+1
- Flexibility: modular seats, clever storage, usable cabin space.
- Updated features in lower-middle trims improve what you get for your money.
- Fuel economy is okay for city commuters, particularly with the manual transmission.
Weaknesses / Trade-offs:
- Power is modest: with full load (7 people + luggage), performance will feel strained, especially on inclines or high speed overtakes.
- The AMT variant is somewhat less responsive (typical of this transmission type in this price bracket).
- Interior materials are more basic compared to higher‐end rivals; plastics and finishes in lower trims may feel less premium. Indiatimes
- Boot space when all seats up is limited.
