A DREAM TO BUY

I have always been A Big Fan Of Bmw, And Also My Dream Car To Ride And Own. Had An Amazing Experience While Driving My Relative's Car. Amazing Performance And Safety. The Comfort Was Also Soothing Even After Long Drive

Volkswagen Tayron

The leather Seats on the Kodiaq are nice but on the tayron its wayyy better but the rear seat 's under thigh is not so great and the height of the car is also low for its size, and the suspension is too stiff for Indian Roads you will feel all the bumps but it is still the best option if you want a luxury segement cars as the other options aren't very confortable or our evs.
