Fabulously designed car

Good one, been driving Seltos for 8 months now, very good car, driving experience is amazing even though I have a base variant car it feels like the top end, that is how it’s designed

Grab the Thar

What a mind-blowing car, such an amazing feel when you drive it, comfort is not bad, road presence is good, and you will enjoy every bit of second while driving, but mileage is a bit issue.

Thar Review

1. My Buying experience is shameless. 2. One of the best Riding Experiences I ever had. 3. Look of That Is good that everyone knows. 4. Service is Good. 5. Pros: Trending, Have Respect, Comfortable, 4*4 Wheeler. Cons: Overhyped, Mileage is not good, Manual on the price we can expect semi-automatic.
