Most Helpful Review

Detailed review after a year.

Great buying experience in Delhi. The car is driver-friendly with plenty of features even in the base model. Best fuel efficiency (15-16 km/l) achieved by driving at 80-90 km/h with 2000-2400 RPM. Value for money, but service centers in tier-3 cities need improvement. Driven 8000 km, detailed review after a year.

Excellent car in medal range

Good car in the middle range very excellent car in driving to good service my location all people try new car, purchase car safety to good car colour super and design excellent car in my family
