00:43It's been a very, very hectic work week, bro.
00:46Yeah, it's been a very, very, very hectic work week, bro.
00:47It's been a lot to go on a trip.
00:49But, you know, the tolls, the petrol, it all costs a lot.
00:52And I think that in two days, you will get a lot of money.
00:57Where do you want to go?
00:59I've been aiming for the hills.
01:01My land down is the one that I've been aiming at.
01:03Okay.
01:04So, let's go.
01:05What's the problem?
01:06But the cost.
01:07Hey man, the tension is clear.
01:09I have a perfect solution.
01:10Let's go.
01:11Let's go.
01:18I hope it's enough charged.
01:20Yeah, dude.
01:21We have almost 78% of charge.
01:23I think we have more than enough charge to go whatsoever.
01:26Perfect.
01:27Nothing's stopping us now.
01:28Let's go.
01:29What a silent cabin.
01:34I'm literally amazed that we live on the National Highway.
01:35And there's no sound.
01:36What a silent cabin! I'm literally amazed that we live on the National Highway and there's no sound.
01:53Actually I'll tell you the damping of this car is really good. Let me just roll down the window once and hear the noise.
01:59There you go, a lot of wind noise. Damn!
02:03Once you just put the window up, you see how silent, it just cuts you out from the outside world.
02:09For sure.
02:10And the smooth ride is because of the suspension setup. Bauti Archa, it's very smooth.
02:15It's tuned to handle the big battery pack and that's why you get a smooth ride.
02:20It's almost like you're on cushions.
02:26Nice. It's like the seat is literally hugging me right now. I'm so cozy.
02:30They are bucket seats so I mean the side bolsters are in such a way that it just keeps the passenger in place.
02:37Plus they are ventilated so really helpful in climates like we stay in Delhi.
02:41For sure. I'll say kudos to the performance right now. I see the design is pretty futuristic.
02:46But I'm learning about how many speakers are in Harman Kardon.
02:51So this is the top of the line. So this has a Harman Kardon. So it has 16 speakers. Can you beat that?
02:57It's got everything. It's got 3D sound. Plus you have 3 screens. You can watch podcasts. You can watch YouTube.
03:04Plus you have a camera over here that you can also do your video calls from.
03:08Amazing. That's not recommended.
03:10Chalate chalate. Camera, phone, kuch bhi ne use karne ka.
03:14But overall feature packed cabin I must say. It's a feature packed car.
03:20Let's quickly switch on the lane keep assist.
03:23There will be a notification if you don't say that keep your hand on the steering wheel.
03:29Just in case if you miss that also then the car will start beeping.
03:32And as you can see it's taking the turn on its own.
03:35Amazing pretty high tech.
03:36And the beep that you hear right now it says keep your hand on the steering wheel just for a safety alert.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Also the adaptive cruise control is nice because so there is this feature in this car where the front collision you have the front emergency braking right.
03:51So it happens that if you are off because usually what happens if you are driving in the city.
03:56The city has a lot of traffic and people crossing.
04:00Agreed.
04:01Agreed.
04:02The ADAS system is so sensitive in this which is a good thing that it will break automatically if it sees something in front of it.
04:09So if you switch it off what will happen the adaptive cruise control will not work.
04:14So adaptive cruise control is that you have set 80% or 100%.
04:19Now you are driving.
04:20So there are radars and there is a camera right over here.
04:22Yeah.
04:23So that will judge that if that car is going on like 80 km an hour.
04:29So it happens that if you are driving behind that car your car will automatically maintain a distance.
04:36You can obviously there is a button over here.
04:38There are four levels of distance that you can maintain.
04:41So if you are driving behind that car it will be behind that car.
04:45For that car like 80 km an hour and you are 100 km an hour.
04:48So if you are driving behind that car you will automatically reduce your speed to 80 km an hour.
04:54Amazing.
04:55And in that case you have to keep your emergency braking on.
05:00If you have not on it then your adaptive cruise control will not be on.
05:05So if something comes in front the car will break automatically and it will stop.
05:08So I mean safety wise top notch I would say definitely.
05:12Perfect.
05:13I wasn't expecting so much in this segment.
05:20So now we have found a charger through the Mahindra app.
05:22And we have taken a 15 to 20 minute coffee break over here.
05:25So now let's see it's a 60 kW charger.
05:2815 to 20 minutes will give us a lot of charge.
05:31So I am going inside till the car is charging.
05:43How do you feel the comfort on hilly roads on the twisties?
05:48Tell me that.
05:49I think I don't know too much.
05:50Honestly it's so smooth and we are just gliding through lovely.
05:55Yeah the suspension is really nice.
05:57I think is that what you are saying because twisties usually you have a lot of body roll.
06:01But did you feel any body roll in this?
06:04No.
06:05I think minor honestly.
06:07Also as I mentioned earlier that
06:11there are hill hold assist features.
06:13Wow.
06:14What is that?
06:15So basically if you are on a hilly station and
06:17like your cafe and all has a steep slope going up.
06:22What happens if you have a manual car and it does not have hill hold assist.
06:27So what happens is that you go up and the car starts rolling back when you accelerate.
06:30Yeah.
06:31So with this obviously it holds the car at a place.
06:34So it holds until you accelerate.
06:36It actually holds the car for 3 to 5 seconds.
06:39And then when you accelerate it you start from the point where you have stopped.
06:42Normally if you accelerate it you will say okay decent power.
06:46But when you hit the boost mode button.
06:48So the boost mode gives you a 10 seconds additional boost.
06:51So what happens if I just hit the boost mode.
06:54Just check if I throttle.
06:55Whoa.
06:56Damn.
06:58Amazing.
06:59Amazing.
07:00So yeah that's what.
07:01So I mean it is definitely head turner that you are watching.
07:05Everyone is watching.
07:06It's so as I mentioned feature loaded.
07:10Powerful.
07:11Comfortable.
07:12You have all the bells and whistles.
07:14Yeah all in one for sure.
07:15It's all in one.
07:16So I think it's a very good package right.
07:18Agreed completely.
07:19Agreed completely.
07:36What a beautiful view yaar.
07:37Nice spot.
07:38Amazing.
07:39So what did I say?
07:40How much did it take?
07:42Around 180 bucks right?
07:43That's not even two burgers bro.
07:45Not even two burgers.
07:46So that was really light on the pocket.
07:48It was just a toll.
07:49And we have enough charge left that we can go back.
07:52Nothing better than that.
07:53Nothing better right.
07:54I said it will be light on the pocket.
07:55Overall I think it was a good trip.
07:57Now we can explore around.
08:00And then we can head back and we as I mentioned we still have enough charge left.
08:04Yeah.
08:05What's it?
08:06Now let's go and explore the place.
08:07Sounds good.
08:08It's good.
08:09Done.
08:15So Kartik.
08:16Now that we have reached here.
08:17Do you feel relaxed now?
08:18Absolutely man.
08:19I am totally recharged.
08:21This is exactly what I needed.
08:23My week is going to start on a whole new refreshed note.
