Mileage of Fiat Avventura

Look and Style: Undoubtedly the best looking car in the segment in terms of exteriors and interiors, rear wheel adds an SUV look while big alloys give the attitude and stance of a premium car. A welcoming interior never lets you feel bored. Comfort: Stiff suspension so no need to worry about tarmac or broken roads. Big tyres and high ground clearance can let you go anywhere you want. But I was driving a sedan prior to that so the ride is a bit bumpy on an uneven road but that's not a bother, steering is a delight to play as it's a very sturdy unit and stays connected with the road giving you confidence in 3 digits speed. Seat cushion is best in class, head room is average, can be a problem if you are above 6 feet, gear shifting is a concern as it's not the smoothest shift among competitors. Pickup: A decent punch of pickup, no hassles while overtaking at all, given it's a very heavily built vehicle but even then it's good at gaining high speeds, again remember it's not a proper SUV so expect a little pickup but you will get more than sufficient. Mileage: A very decent 17 kmpl in local that too without service and on a normal ride, quite satisfactory. Best Features: Looks, tyres, alloys, ground clearance, mileage, different interiors and award winning MJD engine. Needs to improve: Airbags and ABS should be made standard across all variants. Overall Experience: Fine experience dealing with Fiat guys, have knowledge of the product.

Look -This is what makes you to at least go and have a look at the car. The catchy wheel and the roof, mountings.  Comfort- Yes, in fact, good. They have increased the wheel size and ground clearance which really suits the vehicle as well as the ride. The vehicle does turn itself in sharp turns. Pickup- The one thing which is necessary and I find in this is a bit low but not bad. You would find this only at the time of overtaking but sufficient as it's a utility vehicle. Mileage- Petrol delivers decent 14-15 kmpl because of increased length and weight. It's okay with me. Best Features- Alloys as standard and spare wheel separated. Needs to improve - Power if possible. Try to launch it with TSI engine that would be fabulous. Overall Experience: Really good because it suits my needs. I have a family of 5 members and I am a surfer too so can fix my utilities on the rack. Yes, it might not be a real off-roader but it can attempt a little at least which is what I want.

Look and Style: Fiat has just put a new cover on the Punto Evo and named it as Avventura, the CUV as they call looks good only in the picture but is a head turner in reality. The interiors of the car are much below Fiat standards (Cheap) the additional high terrain gauges are useless and look like those in a toy car, though the car is attractively priced it does not fit the off-roader image that Fiat is trying to create. Overall its a let down from Fiat. Comfort- Driver position is good but the rear seat is cramped. Pickup- Fiat is scared to go beyond its award-winning engine (which is in fact quite old now) this car definitely lacks power. Mileage: No comments Best Features: Nothing new just a Punto in a new cover Needs to improve: Everything Overall Experience: Someone at Fiat please wake up and realise that there is tough competition in the market and you need to come up with better products.

Look and Style- Full marks on look and style. The car really does look awesome. Comfort- Quiet comfortable Pickup- Not that great. Could have been better Mileage- N/A Best Features- The pricing is very competitive. Much below the Ecosport against which it competes. Also, they are giving alloy wheels in the basic model as well. That's a good one. Needs to improve- To open the boot one first needs to open the spare wheel mounted on the back and then open the boot. That's a bit tedious. Overall Experience- I test drove the Avventura and the Ecosport. And honestly, I found the Ecosport much better than Avventura in terms of build quality, driving experience, pick up and interiors. If you can push your budget by a lakh then please go for the Ecosport.
