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

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.

Value for money

Buying experience is just like average It's really amazing while only two person in car but not well in 5 Look is good and performance is an average experience Service of Maruti is average but it's not cost too much high There are various pros such as power window auto AC and so on There are various items missing in Sigma model such as steering mounting controls rear AC.
