Audi q8

Nice car and has perfect mileage. Money value. Five seater SUV In just Rs. 1.17 cr and never found this car and liked soo much. You can just plan for a week's trip in this car and u will feel luxury

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!!.
