Most Helpful Review

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

Underpowered 300d..good lipstick works on interiors & exteriors but lacks power punch & smoothness punch

Pros: Space,plush interiors & features Cons: 300d underpowered for such bulky vehicle..understand 350d getting launched soon with the more punchy powertrain. No Air Suspension given at this cost is beyond my comprehension..it's affecting drive capability in bad patches & off-road capabilities.
