The Altroz is performing its duties nicely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The odometer stands at 6190 km as I write this post. It has seen some reduced running this month due to the festive season. Apart from that no other updates.<\/li>\n<li>We are getting a fuel efficiency of 11-12 kmpl consistently. So I guess that after a year now; it is safe to assume that the average fuel efficiency the car will return will be somewhere within this range. Neither too good nor too bad. Expecting something more wouldn&#8217;t be right, as this is a heavy car with an underpowered (read just sufficient) engine.<\/li>\n<li>The DCA gearbox is working excellently. We are loving it and are &#8220;converts&#8221; to automatic boxes now. I am happy that we didn&#8217;t settle for the AMT one but went ahead with the fully automatic gearbox. Now I keep wondering, why I didn&#8217;t stretch my budget in 2018 and got myself an automatic version of the Ecosport!<\/li>\n<li>The car feels solid, stable and planted on the road and absorbs most of the bumps without any fuss. We find the shock absorbers adequate for city use.<\/li>\n<li>The noise insulation is fantastic, once you close the windows; all other ambient traffic sounds are filtered out. You can hear the sound system nicely.<\/li>\n<li>The audio is another good part of the car. 4 speakers and 4 tweeters dish out some nice audio quality. Neither of us is an audiophile, but we can distinguish good speakers from badly tuned ones. I am happy to report that the Harman system in this car is excellent. Exception for an OEM system to sound nice!<\/li>\n<li>Good Year All Terrain Max 2 tyres are really good. They have little noise, as compared to the MRF ZVTVs or MRF ZV2Ks. Once again, I am happy that we got these tyres with the car by default.<\/li>\n<li>The air conditioner is a chiller, we have to tone it down to blower speed 1 or 2 after the initial 4-5 minutes. The automatic climate control works perfectly.<\/li>\n<li>Auto headlamps and Rain Sensing Wipers also work flawlessly. We have never faced any issues with these two so far.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I do feel that the Altroz DCA can complement your garage as a competent secondary car. It&#8217;s perfect for city runabouts.I know a photo shoot is long due, I will try and put it up soon.<\/p>\n<p>Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/6000km-my-altroz-dca-observations-gearbox-fe-features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The car feels solid, stable and planted on the road and absorbs most of the bumps without any fuss.
