Same strong engine and 4WD hardware as higher trims.
Lower price than Mid/High trims while keeping core capability.
Good highway comfort and road presence.
Cons
Feature set feels bare for a 1.58+ crore SUV.
Interior design and materials feel dated versus newer rivals.
Missing modern infotainment and connectivity features.
Running costs and fuel bills high for city-focused users.

Fresh styling noted in Nepal coverage.
Cons
Pricing is high for the equipment level disclosed locally.
