Good

Looks good. Interior good with spacious and comfortable seats. Nice car for big family. Travelling long distance is very comfortable. Smooth handling and driving car in highway is very good.

Good but Expensive

Price somehow is expensive for this. To get a good result in the market the company should reduce the price Although features of the car are fabulous and the car is spacious enough overall good
