Allhamdolillah i got delivered my vehicle , few days back have driven around 100 km's.Below are observations
1) Very cool vehicle , and very welcoming you would absolutely love it
2) Seat very comfortable and lumber support pretty good. In KSA only top variant has passenger side motorized seats and lumber support.
3) Cabin very spacious almost equivalent to a santa fe or ford explorer (which are considered bigger SUV's as they have 7 seat trim avb)
4) Drive is very smooth and the 360 degree functions very well. SOmetimes manually triggering the 360 degree doesn't work
5) Proximity sensors behavior also i am trying to understand as it works well whilst parking or moving , but sometimes it seems it doesnt beep or doesnt function while moving
6) Lane assist is quiet useful but i suggest to keep the calibration off as you might find irritating that car is trying to keep you aligned.
7) THe keep safe distance warning only comes up when you are on a highway , going on constant speed and have a car in front of you. It can be a bit irritating
8) The A.C performance is a touch below than Mazda , Nissan , Honda (jap A.C's are top notch) , but you wouldnt complain as its 50 degrees nowadays and A.C is pretty good. For a benchmark you can say this A.C performs 80-85% of your japanese vehicle which is still very good.In pakistan you can say 100% because in humid conditions it will work just fine
9) Acceleration i have not tested properly but in normal driving mode 0-40 is a bit sluggish like the car take a while . but when the turbo kicks in its frighteningly quick
Conclusion:
An excellet vehicle in the category and would prefer it any day over the korean , jap's variant overall.
Only concern is 1.5 litre variant might be under powered and mobile wireless charging and auto park would have been a good option. Only other SUV relatable in this category is Changhan CS75 which is another very good vehicle.
