This car is indirectly promoting Innova hycross

Not going to sell at this price point, very wrong approach to the Indian Market. Indeed this makes customers feel more value for money now. People would pay 25+L and upgrade to Velfire Or Merc Vclass This is going the Jimny way down

Mind-blowing

Its absolutely insane. No words to describe it. Best experience and best performance. Never felt bad or regretted about it. I suggested everyone to buy this car and because of its fabulous looks.
