I have test driven the XR automatic and XR manual. The 4 speed automatic transmission whines loudly at high speeds and struggles up hills and to overtake. It's rubbish. The manual is slightly more powerful and the transmission is smooth and silky. The drivetrain in this car is seriously disappointing and the manual transmission is really the only way to go. The guava inspired interior was an eyesore. You also have to pay about R2k extra for the doors to auto lock, and the indicators were annoyingly loud. On the positive side the wireless charger worked flawlessly with my iPhone 15 Pro and so did the wireless Apple CarPlay. I made a phone call and listened to music and the sound was good. I thought the 9" touchscreen looked really nice and the manual transmission was really very fuel efficient, returning a figure of 5.8l/100km in the 15 minutes or so that I drove the car in peak traffic. Earlier that same day I had also test driven the new Citroen C3 Aircross Max and the Honda Elevate Elegance. We ended up buying the Honda for my wife.
