Is the Maruti Tour V (O) a glorified taxi or a practical family car?
30 December 2024 09:27
It's still just a glorified taxi, no way. The Tour V (O) lacks the creature comforts and basic safety features modern family cars should have. That doesn't mean that it's a good family option because it's cheap. For a bit more money there are much better alternatives in the market.

It depends on your priorities, I think. If you only require a simple, roomy car from time to time, and don’t mind not having any frills, the Tour V (O) may suit. I would say though that for daily family use you may want to spend a bit more for something with better safety features and comfort.

I own one and can say it’s surprisingly practical for family use. We had purchased it for our catering business but also use it for family trips. It's not luxurious, but it's reliable and for the price the space is unbeatable.

The Tour V (O) is stuck in the past, let's be real. Families need better safety and features. If Maruti wants to attract private buyers, it has to seriously upgrade it. For now, it’s best left for commercial use.
Is the Maruti Tour V (O)'s 5-star safety rating a game changer for the budget segment?
30 December 2024 09:27
Absolutely! For budget car buyers, this 5 star rating is a big deal. This shows that it’s possible to get a safe car without spending a fortune. Credit to Maruti for putting safety in an affordable package.

It’s a good first step, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. A basic car with outdated design and features, the Tour V (O) is still. While a good safety rating isn't a bad thing, it doesn't make it a great family car option.
Is the Maruti Tour V (O)'s 5-star safety rating a game changer for the budget segment?
30 December 2024 09:27
I don't know how this translates to real world safety. Yes, it passed crash tests, but did it have active safety features? Does it have ABS, EBD and multiple airbulbs? Those matter too.

It could change the game in the taxi market. Safer roads for everyone means safer cabs. If the Tour V (O) is adopted by more fleet operators, it could have far reaching implications for road safety in India.
Is the Maruti Tour V (O)'s 5-star safety rating a game changer for the budget segment?
30 December 2024 09:27
The safety rating is impressive, but I don't think it'll make much difference to private buyers. Those looking at this segment care more about price and fuel efficiency. It is important, but it is not the only factor.
Is the Maruti Tour V (O)'s 5-star safety rating a game changer for the budget segment?
30 December 2024 09:27
I believe this will make other budget car makers take up their safety game. Competition is good for consumers, and if this starts a trend towards safer budget cars, that’s a win for everyone.

We shall see how it works in real world conditions. Lab tests are one thing, but it’s another to see how it holds up in real Indian road conditions. That's what really matters.
Does the Maruti Tour V (O) offer practicality and value as good as modern compact SUVs?
30 December 2024 09:27
No way! There is more than enough to be said about features, safety, and style in compact SUVs. The Tour V (O) might be spacious, but it looks like a dinosaur compared to other SUVs of today.
Does the Maruti Tour V (O) offer practicality and value as good as modern compact SUVs?
30 December 2024 09:27
In fact, the Tour V (O) wins hands down for pure practicality. It’s easier for older folks to get in and out of, and it’s got more usable space than most compact SUVs. It's cheaper to buy and maintain too.
Does the Maruti Tour V (O) offer practicality and value as good as modern compact SUVs?
30 December 2024 09:27
I believe it’s dependent on your needs. A compact SUV is a good choice if you do a lot of highway driving, or you need ground clearance for bad roads. The Tour V(O) is hard to beat for city use and pure space efficiency.
Does the Maruti Tour V (O) offer practicality and value as good as modern compact SUVs?
30 December 2024 09:27
Most people buy compact SUVs because it’s the image, not the practicality. The more practical of the two is the Tour V (O), but it lacks the 'cool factor' that SUVs have.
Does the Maruti Tour V (O) offer practicality and value as good as modern compact SUVs?
30 December 2024 09:27
Now, I have owned both and I prefer the Tour V (O) for large families. We fit way more people and luggage than ever in our previous compact SUV. You miss out on some nice to have features, but.
Does the Maruti Tour V (O) offer practicality and value as good as modern compact SUVs?
30 December 2024 09:27
The Tour V (O) might be practical, but it’s not aspirational. Compact SUVs tick all the right boxes: people want to feel good about their car choice, and they also want decent practicality. Maximizing space isn’t always everything.
Does the Maruti Tour V (O) offer practicality and value as good as modern compact SUVs?
30 December 2024 09:27
The Tour V (O) could compete, I think, if Maruti gave it a modern interior and some basic features. There is already space, it just needs a bit of an update to attract private buyers.
Is simplicity always a bad thing or can the Maruti Tour V (O)’s lack of modern features be a deal breaker?
30 December 2024 09:27
I am actually a big fan of the simplicity. There is less stuff to go wrong, it's easier to maintain, and cheaper to repair. A rolling smartphone isn’t for everyone or everyone.
Is simplicity always a bad thing or can the Maruti Tour V (O)’s lack of modern features be a deal breaker?
30 December 2024 09:27
The lack of features is no way a deal breaker. Even in budget cars, basic things like a decent infotainment system and rear parking sensors are now must haves.
