Most Helpful Review

Comfort at its best

Pros: Comfortable, well Engineered car with stunning looks. Easy to drive on city roads and performs well on highways. Cons: Lacks basic features like ventilated and all-powered seats.

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
