Sir, You have got an amazing beauty out there. This is what is called an upgrade. Wishing you safe and happy miles ahead.

Could you please give us a small comparo between the 2.2 and 3.2 ?

Thanks

Brilliant Review for a equally brilliant beast of a SUV!Akash

Thank you. Will post regular updates as and when they occur.

Thank you,
This is feedback from a person who has a 2.2 titanium-
The 3.2 is definitely more powerful. The extra 1000cc, that 30 extra horses is evident. Apart from the power 3.2 Titanium also gets some exclusive features which you don't get in 2.2 Titanium as well like-

4x4 with auto transmission and terrain management
Hill descent control
Driver knee airbag
Panoramic sunroof
Electric folding 3rd row seats
Semi auto parallel park assist
Heated side mirrors with puddle lamps

Coming to 2.2, I would say its powerful, there is more than enough power to move this behemoth. On a 4 lane highway you can easily maintain high 3 digit speeds. I felt 2.2 to be a little more silent than the 3.2. W.r.to city drivability I felt both equally good, may be 2.2 is slightly better. 2.2 delivers a fuel efficiency of 8.5 to 10 in city and 10-12.5 in a highway.
To conclude, as a standalone 2.2 is quite a powerful unit, But if you have the hunger for more outright power and very sure that you need a 4x4, go for 3.2.
In my case I was very sure of not taking the car for serious off-road and decent FE was a necessity as the running is high.

Hi,

Congratulations on the beast You have got the best car in that segment. The black colour looks great. Nice review and pictures. Can you compare the Endeavour with your XUV? Were the pictures of the dash cam taken before hard wiring it? Wishing you a lot of miles with smiles on the endy. Revv hard but drive safe.

Best regards,
Harikrishnan

Congratulations how is the handling of the SUV in city speeds?

The Endeavor feels much more sophisticated and solid with a premium feel compared to the XUV. That said the XUV W10 AWD AT has everything and more of what you need.
The Endeavor like i mentioned in the review is a breeze to drive in the city. The superb EPS along with the AT makes you feel like you are driving a mid sized sedan. It is 1 feet longer than the XUV so it took me 3 to 4 days to get adjusted to turning and parking it in tight spots.
The hard wire kit for the dash cam is still in transit. Supposed to take 6 to 8 weeks from the date of dispatch.

Hi, you have got one of the best SUV in the market.

I wish i can lay my hands on one some day as i have bought 3 cars in last 1 year.

One problem with such a huge beast is the mileage, have seen couple of vehicle giving only 3.8kmpl to 4kmpl in BLR traffic.

Have you taken any maintenance packs ?

 

[kasscon]

This is one vehicle which gave me a look to burn the road after X6, as the sheer mass and looks it shows.

Congrats on your posession and keep enjoying this mamoth with utmost pleasure.
