We have now gotten used to the lower power output and have started to become accustomed to extracting the right amount of torque at the right places.<\/h2>\n

BHPian W.A.G.7<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

The Altroz is performing well. The odometer stands at ~67xx kms as of today. Nothing much to report so far. A comprehensive update is still due, along with some beautiful pictures, but looks like it will be the year end till it happens.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Possible road trip towards the end of the year, but it’s a bit early to say. Last week, visited Satara and it behaved beautifully on the highway. Except for one or two steep places in the Khambatki ghat, wherein I had to mash the accelerator, the gearbox shifted well and it was in the power zone for most of the time. Come to think of it – we have now gotten used to the lower power output and have started to become accustomed to extracting the right amount of torque at the right places. Still a lot to learn though.<\/p>\n

We did a trip to Satara last week and the car gave an average fuel efficiency of 20.3 kmpl on the highway as per the trip meter. A\/C was switched on for about 30 mins max (~25% of the travel time) but not otherwise. I think this is quite a decent highway fuel efficiency. Real world fuel efficiency will be in the range of 11-13 kmpl for a combined driving cycle, we have now made peace with it!<\/p>\n

A political rally at Medha, and the road was closed by the police, so we had to take a long detour through some beautiful internal roads. At quite a lot of places, there’s construction going on, so we learnt a lesson – if there mud kicked up, don’t use the wiper. Else the car ends up looking like this.<\/p>\n
