Feel paradise on earth by driving this car

This is one of the safest car on earth for me it is pro of pros without any cons. you will actually feel that you are driving on the paradise by driving this car. Look wise this is the amongst beautiful cars on earth ..i love it ..and you will love it for sure by driving this car.

Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.
