Most Helpful Review

Never buy Range Rover Cars, they are non reliable and after sale no one will listen.

Don't buy any Range Rover cars, they are worthless and inferior in quality, I bought a new Velar in April 2024 and AC malfunctioned on the delivery bay and the car is still at the workshop without any solution. AMP Motors Gurugram and JLR is least bothered after selling the car. It's almost 3 months I am not able to use the new car and paying EMI, Interest, insurance, depreciation and it's affecting my mental health now.

Performance & comfort wise

Best product ever seen here comfort wise cars best experience possible, most expensive and comfort-wise cars to power to power experience BMW is one of the best product ever for experience
