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.

Two eyes of success

As a BMW owner best car I ever used and a drag race-winning car no doubt. By using this car you can win many drag races in front of sports cars also. When you ride this car no doubt you feel successful in life.
