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

AMG Riding experience

I remember ,2weeks later I had experienced a short drive of AMG,I love its ride i.e;spellbound,and with an awesome interior. But if we take about its price its quiet high for an average indian people,and a major think that I had not like about is that it's fuel efficiency,I say it's engine is with a huge power,. But overall it is spellbound.
