Overall very nice car

This car is amazing. Features and comfort is also good. This car is budget friendly, company providing more features other than cars. Driving experience was very good for me. Nice car.

Just drive and you will know...

Outstanding... I'm speechless. This car offers you a great feel that you are in a smart off-roader with 5 doors, providing the best experience for both the driver and rear passengers. There's so many accessories for aftermarket modifications and it's a well-designed car that you can use for daily rides or short and long trips. I think this car is not overpriced, you have to know this car is 4×4.
