Experienced after buying

I bought this electric car 2 months back, driven 9900 kms until now. It runs 250 kms around with a single charge comfortably with AC on. Then u have to charge for complete peace of mind. Price high but u get 40% depreciation in your ITR for consecutive 4 years which means u haven't paid anything except for insurance and RTO. please make this car with two sets of battery, one for 250 kms and other for 125 kms, and alternatively, they should get charged by the regenerative power energy source and kinetic energy too thus KONA will go beyond 1000 kms. Very smooth, silent ride. Cruise control and hill assist presently. 2 negative points. Rear seats not having any fan facility and rear shockers are not too good.

The Legend of Cars.

It is a fabulous car which meets all your luxury needs within a reasonable price. When you go for a long journey, it feels you very comfortable and luxurious. The car has a gorgeous and sexy appearance which attracts people's mind. It makes your journey memorable. It gives a glamorous entry in any party you visit. So,there is a big salute to this legend heaven cum car.

Volkswagen Passat Review: Pros and Cons

By Vikrant Singh01 Aug 2019

Yes, the Volkswagen Passat costs Rs 40 lakhs on the road. And no, it doesn’t command the same snob value as an Audi or a BMW or a Mercedes. Maybe not even as much as a Volvo or a Jaguar.

Living with the Volkswagen Passat

By Omkar Thakur10 Dec 2018

It would be justified to call it a limousine owing to its length and cabin space and we got to live with it for a brief period of time and we have to tell you how was it living with the Passat.
