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.

The Beast X7

The staff at BMW was really very welcoming drive quality is fantastic the engine makes you feel the punch looks are fantastic as its rood presence is mind-blowing i have not serviced it yet PROS:- it has a lot of space in it, speakers are good, etc CONS:- bench seat option should be available
