Most Helpful Review

This car is totally worth it according to its price

The driving experience is amazing you can increase your speed from 30km/h to 90km/h in just a few sec. The internal seating appearance is amazing and a lot of space is present inside the internal fabric other designs are too fascinating this car is worth it according to its price.

Very nice experience

I have driven the car for almost a year (6500km). It has very good torque and feels very premium to drive. The service centre experience is very good. Worth the price and highly recommend
