Just drive and you will know...

Outstanding... I'm speechless. This car offers you a great feel that you are in a smart off-roader with 5 doors, providing the best experience for both the driver and rear passengers. There's so many accessories for aftermarket modifications and it's a well-designed car that you can use for daily rides or short and long trips. I think this car is not overpriced, you have to know this car is 4×4.

Monster

Great riding on ruff roads specially for a Traveller like me it will make you feel comfortable in every condition like on the way to Tamil Nadu from Punjab I used and trust me this will not disappoint you and ride a smooth journey Pros *Comfortable *Design *Price Cons *Not good for heavy traffic/city
