Don't buy

Never buy any Jeep product that is not fit for Indian customers, lacks service, stud down dealers, is extremely high maintenance, and has the worst real value. I'm already an existing user. Good to drive is the only reason, go for XUV 700, mg, best will Toyota, Tata you regret and suffer after 2 years of this JEEP, thankyou

Must Read my experience

We used nearly 6-7 years after that again we purchased the same Toyota Fortuner... Amazing car with premium feel and comfort. Comfortably 8 family members can seat. We travel a lot around India like Ladakh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and we never faced any problem.
