Most Helpful Review

Good featured car

All are good Pros: driving is very smooth, boot space, handling. Sprint variant is value for Money, getting all options which are needed. Cons: Mileage in the city, back seat thigh support

Could Be Utilized For Charging Sockets

Space Management Is Good But It Would Be Much Better If Both Sides in the Rear Had A Hand Rest Or Could Be Utilized in A Better Way Like. Could Be Utilized for Cup Holder. Could Be Utilized For Charging Sockets. Could Be Used For Fridge. Could Be Utilized For Wireless Charging Space and Much More.
