Affordable car with premium experience

Pons-Kia Sonet is one of my favorite cars as the exterior look and gives a Premium feeling while driving, performance is mind-blowing you can consider that your money is worth it spending on this car, I am damn sure you will not regret it at all. Here service is also great by staff member all are professional. Cons- Let's talk about the cons of long driving you might experience some noises that can make you uncomfortable while driving. Maintenance cost is pretty high.

The best car in maruti

Riding experience was awesome in this car compare with other cars. The rear seat experience was awesome. The maintenance cost is very low. My car is giving mileage in city 19km and in highways is 23km. I purchased this car in 2018 and i am going to reach 1lakh km soon but my car is like a new one. That's y I am giving 5 stars to this car

Maruti Suzuki S-Cross Facelift First Drive Review

By Santosh Nair28 Sep 2017

Maruti Suzuki has decided to refresh its S-Cross and give it a second lease of life. Unfortunately, the brand wasn’t able to capitalise on the SUV/crossover trend with the S-Cross in its first run, simply due to its ‘large hatchback’ looks.
