Most Helpful Review

Reliable predictable and consistent performance

I drove this car to Badrinath , Really enjoy the driving it's movability and engine is really very smooth Very good car If you drive between 60 to 70 km/h We get average 20++ AC is very effective

Bad engineering, good looks

Don't buy this car, they don't have any customer service. The milage of the car is under 10. Only exteriors are looking good, but built quality is inferior. Delivery may take 100 days. Led experience is very bad. No service center to get car repaired.
