Most Helpful Review

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 Product Proposition but lot of improvement required

The car serves our purpose…overall product proposition is fantastic, saving us lot of money. Actual range is 200-220 km in full charge and not 325 km as claimed. But then Tata still needs to figure out the quality-related stuff…gaps in panels, panels coming off, roof rubber coming off…not expect this from such a large brand. Such minor issues impact the image of the brand.
