I have not found that the fuel efficiency differs much from what Ashok Leyland claims, but only if you’re not pushing the truck too hard. On highways, when I am not overloaded, I get about 13–14 km/l.

Their fuel efficiency claims are BS. Even with a light load, I am getting barely 10 km/l in city traffic. Not terrible, but not at all what I had expected.

The driving is everything. If I drive at a consistent speed and no sudden acceleration though, I can get decent mileage. It takes some practice, though.

It was fuel efficient for the first few months, but then it dropped off. I do not know if it is due to just the engine breaking in, or if there is an issue, but it is definitely not as nice as it was when I first got it.

I expect too much of other people. It is a Maruti Alto, no, it is a commercial vehicle. For a fuel efficiency for its size and load capacity, I think it is pretty reasonable.

The mileage is okay, but I like the fact that it is consistent. The difference with regard to fuel consumption whether I’m loaded or empty is a little less drastic than with some other vehicles I have driven.

The fuel efficiency is average, to say the least. Of course there is some reduction in the mileage you will get, but there is an increase in carrying capacity. It balances out the fuel costs because I can carry more in one trip.

It’s noticeable when I do maintenance regularly. However, when I do oil changes and air filter replacements to keep up with things, the fuel efficiency jumps out.

It’s kind of a thirsty thing in stop-and-go traffic but on long highway runs, it’s actually quite good on fuel. I believe it is more inter city transport than inner city delivery.

It has decent fuel efficiency, but the thing I value most is the large fuel tank. It allows me to go longer between fill ups saving time on my routes.

The cabin is larger than most which is good. But the AC is a letdown. On hot summer days, it struggles to cool the cabin quickly.

The Bada Dost feels like a luxury upgrade, coming from a Mahindra Supro. For me, the game changers are the steering wheel adjuster and the driver information display.

It’s comfortable, yes, but I wish they would’ve put more effort into cutting down cabin noise. It’s quite loud on highways, and I have to crank up the music just to hear anything at all.

In fact, the mobile charging point is actually super useful. As a person who banks on the use of my phone for things like navigation and phone calls with clients—it’s a lifesaver.

I also like the small touches like the multiple storage compartments. It keeps the cabin organized, which is necessary when you live out of your vehicle for long trips.

This is a big deal for me, as I make frequent delivery stops, and the ingress and egress are smooth. The grab handles are well placed and make for easy hopping in and out.

The Bada Dost feels like a spaceship as compared to the Maruti Super Carry I used to drive. In bright sunlight, the digital cluster is clear and easy to read.

The bed is comfortable for two people, but with three it is cramped. It’s not a good option for long trips if you frequently travel with a helper or apprentice.

Bit the bullet and went for the Bada Dost i3 CBC, which is more expensive and I don’t regret it. It's noticeably better in build quality than cheaper alternatives and it shows in the long run.

Honestly, I think it's overpriced. It has some nice features, sure, but at the end of the day, it’s just moving cargo from A to B. With a cheaper vehicle, I could pocket the difference and I could do that.
