They are now banking their aspirations on virtus & slavia both of which are failure. Time they bring back polo or their game is finished as already both these models are performing poor the result which we can see the number of models operating on roads.Rating parameters(out of 5)2

Be it looks, mileage, interior, dashboard, comfort, space, or any other thing. I saw some people complaining about mileage, but dear, this is a turbo engine there will always be a trade-off between mileage and a power-packed ride. At speeds between 70-80, it gives around 22-24. This reduces to 18 at 120 km/h. For better mileage use cruise control extensively at higher speeds and at lower speeds mind the pressure you put upon the accelerator.Rating parameters(out of 5)5

Satisfied with the ride, handling, comfort and looks but badly misses out on a 360-degree camera considering the sheer length of the vehicle. Does the job as a premium sedan for highway runs but I don't prefer it for city usage due to the size and sensitive fuel consumption of turbo engines.Rating parameters(out of 5)5
