In the top-end model, you can enjoy many advanced features generally unavailable in this segment's other cars. Engine performance and suspension are really good. On highways with cruise control, you can get a mileage of up to 18 km/l. In the city, it's 10-11 km/l in traffic.Rating parameters(out of 5)4

About the ReviewerPurchase UsedDriven forFew thousand kilometersRead MoreWas this review helpful?13 - Family carExcellent car for the price, on average 13 to 14 in the city, 20+ on highways .. got 25 km in 250km ride with cruise enabled at 90kms. Very spacious and comfortable seats. The infotainment system is awesome, the driving experience is very good. Third-row seating for adults is very good. Pros: Good mileage, comfortable, spacious, Cons: 360 camera is the only missing, road noise inside the car is more I felt, LED lights seem to be ok when opposite vehicles come with yellow lights (halogen)from other vehicles disturbing. But in dark LED is a very good throw.Rating parameters(out of 5)5
