Worst Service and Parts Unavailability

You will have to park your car in their garage for 60 days for a minor repair or any accidental damage. Being a premium car, it is not worth getting this kind of service. Think twice before purchasing one. I have put my detailed review on the Kun BYD Coimbatore Google review page.

It's an amazing car that can't be described in words

Great road presence and an awesome performance. Its small size also can be beneficial to easily reach the desired destination. The drawback is space and you should not expect that from a Mini.

BYD Sealion 7 First Drive Review

By Haji Chakralwale17 Feb 2025

The BYD Sealion 7 is the newest addition to the brand’s stable for India. Think of it as the SUV version of the popular Seal sedan, bringing along all that great design.

Mini Cooper SE — First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre21 Oct 2022

There's hardly anyone who wouldn't know about the brand Mini. And you'd be certainly living under a rock if you are unaccustomed to car manufacturers bringing in electric vehicles. This Mini Cooper SE is the electric version of the iconic Mini Cooper hatchback. In place of a conventional internal combustion engine, there's now an electric motor paired with a battery. The best part is that none of the Mini's design elements have changed. This includes the round headlamps, two-door body style, and a compact footprint. Lest we forget, even Brit elements like in the tail lamps and now the UK electric plug design in the alloys. What about the driving fun? We shall get to that bit in the due course.
