The range should have been real-time, with changes showing depending on how the car's being driven.
BHPian ALTIMAed recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
- Even after the recent OTA, the infotainment system blackens out which is pretty irritating as I depend heavily on maps and music while driving.
- Small rumblers rattle Puchku, hence I have learnt to slow down considerably. Dropping the rear tyre pressure by 2 PSI has also helped.
- The rear seat belts tend to rattle. For my usage, I keep the right rear seat folded as I keep my laptop bags (two of them on the seat back. Tuck the right rear seat belt below one of the bags. The left rear seat remains upright and the belt buckled.
- The horizontal red bar lights up with the parking and headlights turned on. The tail lamps do not glow. The tail lamps glow only when the brakes are pressed (contrary to other vehicles having horizontal red bars).
- Agreed with the point mentioned above, a lot of real estate on the driver's screen is wasted and a lot more information can easily be incorporated with an OTA.
- The range permanently shows 100% charge 200 km (dropping at a rate of 2 kms per percentage of SOC charge drop), it should have been real-time, depending on how the vehicle is being driven. One has to keep calculating the actual distance covered in a certain charge percentage drop by referring to the trip meter.
- A very moody tripmeter, sets to 0 automatically at free will!
- The absence of km/whr is grossly missed.
- The range does not change with a change in the drive mode setting (like other EVs including the ZS EV.
- The windscreen washer sprays fluid at a very low level on the windscreen. An inch higher would be ideal.
- Still getting used to the high position of the brake pedal (thinking of modifying it - experts kindly guide me please) as compared to the accelerator pedal, hence requiring two movements of my foot (one raising my foot and the other swivelling it to apply brakes) with the result losing out on precious microseconds in case of emergency braking. It should be just one movement of the foot (just swivel on my heel to apply the brakes).
