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.

My Dream Car

<p>I have no words to explain about this car. This is my dream car. I want to become an owner of this car once in my lifetime. such a great features such an amazing look. The real value of money which contains exact space and comfort,all in all perfomance and the real fuel economy. I will be great ful to have such an amazing car ever.</p>NANA
