Here is a free advise, take it or leave it (I learned this lesson afetr living with SUVs / MUVs for years) Irrespective of what park assist you have, always dip your left ORVM to lowermost position while reversing, so that it shows the position of your rear tyre and what is behind that. Follow this and you will never hit any kerb or scratch your rear left (Something that SUV owners frequently scratch). I strictly follow this rule for every car I drive while taking reverse, |

I drive all the UVs with left mirror dipped on tight hilly roads or in tight gulleys, it gives me a very nice idea of how much space I have to maneuver even if its showing me only the rear quarter of my vehicle, but if I know where my rear tyre is, I can accurately estimate where my front tyre is. |

- The reverse sensors are located quite high on the rear bumper, due to the high ground clearance. So when you back into a curb, quite often, it hits the rear tow hook with a crunch and the sensors don't even beep to warn you of the proximity. It sounds scary but usually, not much damage is done. I've hit it thrice and the first time, I jumped out of my skin.. |

The High Beam throw is directed quite a bit to the left. I understand, it's a safety feature to prevent you from blinding oncoming traffic and are present in most modern cars, but here, it's a bit too much. Almost makes you feel that only the left High Beam is working. |

- You put in half a tank of fuel and it's all green and happy. Park it up a steep incline, start off again and the fuel meter shows Empty and red. even after a couple of Kms, the readings don't change. It's only when you start the vehicle the next day the correct reading appears. And up here, it's all inclines and declines. (Float issues?) |

Hi, My one-month-old hexa is showing extra running in ODO than actual. |

Difference seems to be around 3%. Which looks normal, as these odometers are indicative and my not be 100% accurate. Also, the way we squeeze between traffic may bring some differences. Did you by any chance compare odometer readings of two different vehicles, other than Hexa ? Say XUV and Swift. At the same time, I am not denying the possibility of wrong odometer calibration. |

Yeah that's what i mentioned me (hexa) and my friend started (swift) same point and exactly drove in same lane and he got 23.4 and i got 24.2. |

Not really. My question is if you have compared odo reading or any two other cars (other than Hexa)? Say XUV and Crysta or Swift and Alto? Just curious to see if the other two vehicles return same ODO reading. If they do, then Hexa might need re-calibration of ODO. |

So cannot co-relate it in terms of percentage deviation, but definitely flat 6 KMPH deviation. Monitoring slower speeds, to come up to a conclusion. I have data for Safari as well, but shared only for Aria. |

Hi, My one-month-old hexa is showing extra running in ODO than actual, from last 5 years I am traveling to the same office from home and taking the same route which means the exact distance from point A to B. My earlier XUV was showing 29.7 in odo but my hexa shows 30.6. Today, to re-confirm this me and one of my friends drove exact same point A to B his swift showed 23.4 but my hexa was showing 24.2 Please help. |

That is disheartening to hear, earlier it was the weight only that was a problem but now the gearing is too :( The XUV 500 weight is around 1800Kg and this thing weights 300Kg more so I am wondering what impact will it have in FE and in such climes. |
Revv it then ride the half clutch but doesn't that burn the clutch plate, secondly you have a HEXA so you are a perfect person to tell me if its more car like to drive or more SUV "Safari" type? |
Also is the Auto worth getting over the manual the price difference is there plus average is certainly worst and on hills it will come down to single digits for sure. |
How much Avg kmpl are you getting also is there any rusting in any parts? How long has your car been with you and any niggles that you faced? |

Upsizing the tyres results in odometer readings error. Is that the case with any of you? Or any other Hexa with 19 inch facing the same, issue. I am guessing the Odometers are not well calibrated in initial phases & can be a known issue. Hence the difference. stupid: I am sure that there is definitely some (re)calibration required for Odometer (my car at least to say).I am saying so based on my recent observation. Car in Question is Aria with 17 Inch tyres. On my recent trip to Indore, the car was set to Cruise at 90KMPH. The GPS device was indicating the speed at 84 KMPH. Observed this for well over 3 Kms. Tried again with cruise set at 100 & 110 KMPH. GPS readings were 94 & 104 KMPH. I made sure that this is set on as flat road as possible & no Inclines or declines. So cannot co-relate it in terms of percentage deviation, but definitely flat 6 KMPH deviation. Monitoring slower speeds, to come up to a conclusion. I have data for Safari as well, but shared only for Aria. |
