Nice rich interior

It was awesome and looked nice rich interior design the lights are creative and it will be equal to Seltos and Kia Carnes Nexon and brezza this car looks stylish and functional.

No Nonsense Car with superb driving,Budget friendly

I am a new driver, I got it in Ranchi, It was a new showroom opened, and they gave it in a week. I have driven 2800 km and haven't faced any challenges till now. Paint quality is a concern to me. Accessories are less in the outside market. Mileage I got nearly 16 on the highway. I use it mostly for long routes. Apart from this, I will say, that if you are looking for a new car then you can go for it, If you are budget is tight. The engine is superb, I love to drive. In low gear, it'll struggle. Breaks are good but still need a little more refinement.
