Before the trip began, we tried to trace the figure of the exterior. Cursory view X-Gear is no different from Livina XR, only a few details in order to try infiltrated his body looks more macho and sporting. As smooth curve on the front bumper and black etched all over his body and the bottom of the rear door handles and skid plate dilengkapinya silver berkelir. The characteristics of this facelift more visible in the high-mounted stop lamp that said X-Gear.

Judging from the cabin, we feel the room feel more spacious. It turned out that after visits to the data specifications, the length of stretchy 100 mm, width 40 mm and 15 mm high. So assuming the cabin more spacious and comfortable for the capacity of 5 adults plus luggage was proved. So too with color design on the seat, after the XR is dominated by bright colors accent the dark now trying to apply a red hue NMI.

During the trip, the performance capacity of 1498 cc engine proved quite responsive, with the traction gear change is quite subtle. In this session, we tried to explore the reliability of maneuver. In the speed range from 120 to 140 km / hour, the sounds coming from the engine and the tires began to infiltrate into the cabin. But this can be ditepis with the music from an audio system that quite entertaining along the way.

In fact, we occasionally pounding the gas pedal down as he maneuvered past the car in front, until the speedometer needle had touched the numbers 170 km / hour. Indeed there is still a force which should be maximized, given the road conditions started to unfriendly body roll and symptoms begin to appear we nevertheless do so. Surely the safety becomes the main thing. Thumbs up was also posted for proper tire grip firmly embedded in the asphalt.

Once satisfied 'play' on the highway, we immediately brought the car down the street Cilegon for lunch at the Hotel Marbella, Anyer. At this point we should be more friendly with a variety of damaged road trucks are also a large capacity and motors that many passing. But with the character diaplikasikannya suspension medium, it can be we passed through.

After lunch, drive back to continue to the end location of the Cape Lesung. For the umpteenth time we have to meet again with the same field. But this can be answered X-Gear with the agility to maneuver through each vehicle and avoid the hollow road with the steering control was quite mild.
