Most Helpful Review

Nice punchy engine and 5 star GNCAP

I was confused between Seltos, Creta, Thar, Roxx, and Kushaq. I didn't select Creta because everyone is buying it. Seltos is good and big in size, but lacks features in the base model. Thar Rox is good for off-road and fans, but it was difficult for me to come out and go into the car for information. My height is 6 feet plus. I already drove Creta, Harrier, and even Honda City, but when I drove this car and when the turbo hits feel is different. Easy to drive hits three digits easily. I recommend at least taking a test drive. Because Kushaq was not on my list, just one day before I saw it on youtube next day take the test drive and booked the car. I am giving only a short-term review, and I enjoyed the car.

Incredibly cozy vehicle for sedated drivers

The greatest benefit is fuel efficiency... the incredibly cozy vehicle for sedated drivers...dual tone cabin is stylish... handles bad roads with poise...the dashboard and steering are marvelous.
