MINI Cooper

The Buying Experience was very good.I got a good deal at the showroom.They provided a excellent service. I test drive the car 3 times a good range of kilometes,I got what I needed.The car has got a compact design.Being a Electric car Initially I had a range anxiety but after few weeks of drive I was totally satisfied.Even I had a long drive to Shillong,got some charging stations problem but that was obvious.Service and maintenance cost of the car is a bit on the higher side.Till now I had only 1 servicing.The car is small and compact perfect for the city along with a good electric range.Fun to Drive especially for couples with a Romantic FM on.But con in this car is it have tight Rear seat.Range could be more better.Anyways,it was a good decision for choosing this Car.

Very super design

Very super design range is very excellent 450 the best electric car Volvo xc40 service extremely super drawing or so good or better enjoying the driving the performance is good Volvo xc 40 design or looks excellent or of the best electric car Volvo xc40.

Volvo XC40 Recharge Single First Drive Review

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray06 Apr 2024

With a top-down approach, this is a more affordable, less powerful, smaller battery and a single-motor version of the XC40 Recharge

Mini Cooper SE — First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre21 Oct 2022

There's hardly anyone who wouldn't know about the brand Mini. And you'd be certainly living under a rock if you are unaccustomed to car manufacturers bringing in electric vehicles. This Mini Cooper SE is the electric version of the iconic Mini Cooper hatchback. In place of a conventional internal combustion engine, there's now an electric motor paired with a battery. The best part is that none of the Mini's design elements have changed. This includes the round headlamps, two-door body style, and a compact footprint. Lest we forget, even Brit elements like in the tail lamps and now the UK electric plug design in the alloys. What about the driving fun? We shall get to that bit in the due course.
