Amazing Beast... Owning it is a pride..

Have been owning this amazing beast sine Jul 2018. I must admit that it has earned me great image and respect among the circles. A wonderful machine that I have owned in ages... Always upto the expectations,... Never complained... I am running 113K Kms on my odometer,, but the performance is still the same as day one. Just to let others know,, I haven't changed my tyers yet.... Still having another 30% of tyre life left...

Don't buy

Never buy any Jeep product that is not fit for Indian customers, lacks service, stud down dealers, is extremely high maintenance, and has the worst real value. I'm already an existing user. Good to drive is the only reason, go for XUV 700, mg, best will Toyota, Tata you regret and suffer after 2 years of this JEEP, thankyou
