Questions you may find useful

•13w

Comparing the specs of the Aircross X and Tekton it turns out that the Aircross develops 109bhp and 190 N-m Torque versus 99 bhp and 160 N-m Torque for the 1L turbocharged variant. Is the Aircross a "Wolf in Sheeps clothing" among its peers. It kinda throws a spanner in the works necessitating an additional vehicle to check out before the prospective Tekton buyer can proceed with a clear mind, the excellent interiors notwithstanding. Your comment please.....
