Looks good. Interior good with spacious and comfortable seats. Nice car for big family. Travelling long distance is very comfortable. Smooth handling and driving car in highway is very good.

I love TUV300

drive cool, brakes are good, value for money, now my KM is 106400 and running well, only 10000 kms regular services. changed 1st set of brake pad @ 60000. Tyres @ 60000, until now there is no problem for the clutch. I am happy with TUV300 T8 after 5years, I love TUV300

Honda Elevate review

Honda nailed it with the pricing! Finally! This car is value for money considering other manufacturers! Buying experience: should be good Looks and performance: looks high class, looks like its global models abroad. Performance for a natural aspirated model is quite good. Mileage is good too. Pros: looks, build quality, engine, price Cons: few features like ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof is missing.
