Most Helpful Review

Good

Good Fuel Efficiency and smooth driving experience , perfect for small family or middle class family.

A beast with value for money which never let you down

if will talk about the price that one will get it higher but don't worry it is value for money car... as the quality of parts and body including engine is like you will not get in any other brand under this price range. smooth drive experience with some sporty trends. yeah but when it comes to service and maintenance, it takes little bit more than other cars but you will not regret as it offers premium quality of drive and life with proper maintainance. the only con is it takes maintainance which is little higher everything else except maintainance I would like to count as pro from my driving experience to build up quality.

Nice car

Nice car beautiful looking very pretty sure I will experience this car very good working and good experience full safety and very good mileage petrol mileage 21 and CNG mileage 34 too good experience this course.
