Most Helpful Review

A Super SUV Sports car you can never forget

Driving experience - It is made for Indian roads, surely. Pickup is next level with a powerful engine reaching 100 km/h within 4 seconds. I haven't reached the top speed on Indian highways. Looks - Metallic and attractive body, upgraded sportier design. Headlight, taillight, and bumpers are redesigned and give a wow feel. Performance - 8 Drive modes with well-tuned damping & suspension, even the big potholes don't hurt. Mileage is around 8 kmpl and less in the cities of India, so quite a disappointment here, but safety is good at this price. Pros - Comfortability sitting, many features inside, so a perfect SUV as compared to other segments. Cons: I would go for the electric model if provided. Good Mileage could be challenging in the cities of India.

Outstanding service

The experience was outstanding and everything was as expected. The best part of it was the comfortable spacing and stylish look. Whatever it is, after driving it, life feels different much in the sense of betterment and satisfaction, presence.
