Most Helpful Review

Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome

Good very good I bought it 9 years ago and it is working now just like a pro it didn't disappoint me Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome East and West Defender is the best But 1 problem is that is expensive but according to its price it is just fantastic No words for it The waiting period is very much but when you get it you will forget all the other cars and you will again and again just wow! Thank you Have a nice day

Driving experience

It was a wonderful car along with wonderful driving experience. we have to compromise a bit in the mileage but yes overall it was a wonderful car. this car supports all type of luxury you are expecting from a Rs 1.2 crores car and so its a value for money deal also. I don't want to take name of other brands but this car is way beyond better than them. The sensing technology given by Jaguar in this car is very good and sense everything within real time.
