I have purchased CULTUS AGS, after intense reasearch on youtube for indian AMT varients and finally decided to take risk to have AGS.
My review is actual, personal experiance, after 15000km. On plans and on hilly areas.
First i have tested this car in Lahore regular driving conditions, after 3000km tested in Murree patriata hills, and recently on 14 Aug 2019. I was in Khunjrab.
Fuel Consumption :In City like drive condions, The millage is 16.5k./L, On Motorway @ 100-110km/h, it is 21-22km/L. On hills it is 15-16km/L.
All consumption noted with A/C, full tank to full tank.
My last trip to Khunjrab pass, was 2400km, True consumption Avg with AC was exact 17.5km/L.
AGS: Worked fine. On very steeps like Babusar Top or sharp steep curves like thandiani, or changla gali steep, manual mode used and worked fine, tested auto mode as well it also worked but a bit tricky, recommeded for pro only. The trick is in acceleraror padel.
Since there is no hill asist in this car, however hand brake assistance on uphill start works fine.
Gear shifting, a bit jerky and slugish when down shift when accelerate, one can get used to it, than fine. Some time Juddering in 2nd gear may feel when car is in stretching in 2nd gear, for this just lift accelerator padel a bit, all other ratios are very fine.
AGS over heating warning: On uphill traffic jam bumper to bumber, if you are in auto drive mode and using hand brakes for hill assist, The warning may comes with beep and light, for this keep car in neutral when not moving. If warning comes it goes away when drive in normal conditions.
ABS: Excellent.
Comfort: Front Very comfortable, Rear good.
AC: Perfect.
Drive Control High Speed: Good sense of security feels.
Sound System: Its the best.
Suspension: Durabel and comfortable,
Power Steering:Excelent.
Over all engine Power/Torque: IT IS K10, i have never seen such a small engine with power like this.
Value for Money: it is now 1975000/-, very expensive but we dont have any other choice.
There is no match with JDM. JDM is wastage of money.
