Most Helpful Review

Excellent car

Excellent car, driving very good i recmand purchase every one this car. This car is very beautiful looking and very smooth driving, excellent features, and a very good music system

Poor comfort

Overall its a nice car but the company has done no research in designing the seats or the leg room in the car. This car is not comfortable at all, I have driven 45000 in 8 months. Battery performance and all is good as per expectations, but apart from the driving seat don’t expect any sort of comfort on any of the seats.
