Trust me it's one of the best sedan available in the market right now. Drive it and than decide it yourself. I booked I20 as it was in my budget but after I took a test drive of this car. I changed my mind and decided to buy this beast. I'm getting an average of 13.4 kms in city and 19-20 on highway. This car has a superior built quality and realistic features which we actually require.Rating parameters(out of 5)5

About the ReviewerPurchase NewDriven forDid a short drive onceRead MoreWas this review helpful?20 - Who said that no car is perfect?Yes, the title says it all. Every penny spent is worth it. Be it looks, mileage, interior, dashboard, comfort, space, or any other thing. I saw some people complaining about mileage, but dear, this is a turbo engine there will always be a trade-off between mileage and a power-packed ride. At speeds between 70-80, it gives around 22-24. This reduces to 18 at 120 km/h. For better mileage use cruise control extensively at higher speeds and at lower speeds mind the pressure you put upon the accelerator.Rating parameters(out of 5)5

Satisfied with the ride, handling, comfort and looks but badly misses out on a 360-degree camera considering the sheer length of the vehicle. Does the job as a premium sedan for highway runs but I don't prefer it for city usage due to the size and sensitive fuel consumption of turbo engines.Rating parameters(out of 5)5
