Most Helpful Review

The driving experience is just insane.

My friend has bought this I was with him at that this purchase experience was cool and nice. The driving experience is just insane. The look is also so nice I fell in love with the look of the car. Its maintenance is also not so expensive it is a little more expensive but gives a great service.

Its superb car

Nice compact SUV for city and long drives. For city driving 7-8 kmpl and highway driving it’s giving 12-14 kmpl. The overall drive experience is smooth. Ambient lighting during the night gives a luxurious feel.
