Most Helpful Review

Sportback after 7000 kms

It is a flashy car and you will get the best looks in this price range but mileage and features will be a tradeoff for the sporty looks. Not even a 360 camera at this price. City mileage sometimes drops to pathetic levels as low as 6.5 kmpl. The drive feel is good and acceleration and stability at high speeds are impressive.

BMW X1 - Great in all departments except performance

Performance - Creta /Seltos/XUV700 /Scorpio N have better performance than BMW X1. BMW killed the X1 by bringing engines to this. BMW! rethink your strategy. This is not expected from the BMW badge. Taigun/Kushaq 1.5 beat this X1 left and right!!.

Mini Countryman Review

It's stylish and athletic, with a high predicted reliability rating. However, its cabin is cramped, and this car is more expensive than rivals. It is the top car in low cost. it is very good to ride. It looks very nice and good it will give nice performance.
