Most Helpful Review

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.

Sporty Looks with Premium Comfort – A Perfect Urban Luxury SUV

This car feels like a perfect mix of style, performance, and everyday comfort. The buying experience was smooth and professional, and the car immediately stands out because of its sporty coupe-like design. Driving it in city traffic and on highways around Jaipur has been very comfortable—the steering is light, the suspension handles bad roads well, and the engine feels refined with strong pickup. The interior feels premium with high-quality materials, a digital cockpit, and comfortable seats. Performance is impressive, especially during overtakes, while still being easy to drive daily. Servicing so far has been hassle-free, though maintenance costs are on the higher side, which is expected from a luxury brand. Pros include looks, ride quality, and brand value, while cons are rear headroom and service cost. Regular servicing and gentle driving help maintain performance and fuel efficiency.
