Mercedes-Benz

A sleek and comforting ride with a multitude of features. The car itself is humongous and feels light to drive, and is highly recommended by me. this car is a must to try.

All good nice

the car feels royal, especially from the back and front. it is a luxury car with all the creature comfort you would expect at this price point and which is largely ignored by the German.

Volvo XC90 B6 Ultimate facelift — First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre22 Sep 2022

Volvo's flagship SUV in India is this XC90. In its latest iteration, it gets some new features, some new exterior shades, but the design and styling remains the same. And this is particularly good, for it retains its mature demeanor with sheer elegance. Peculiar highlights like the Thor-hammer shaped DRLs and tall tail lamps continue to shine on a big SUV with neat proportions.
