Most Helpful Review

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

A performance car with less mileage

Good performance very fast car. I bought it for performance because I love driving cars and I am a driving enthusiast and the mileage of it is less (approx 10) but It is a very good car with a premium interior.
