Most Helpful Review

Best for long drives

Best for long drives and journey value for money best of the best car and best choice and good engine performance and mileage for saving your money just buy this car to make happiness

Overall excellent

The Interior of the car should be in black colour with chrome framing, and I request to Mahindra to provide finance facility at a low interest rate so that more and more people purchase this car.

Everything is good

Everything is good mileage is also good servicing is also good but headroom can be improved ground clearance is 190 which is sufficient for indian roads. I think at this price point no. Airbags should increase.

Good featured car

All are good Pros: driving is very smooth, boot space, handling. Sprint variant is value for Money, getting all options which are needed. Cons: Mileage in the city, back seat thigh support
