Most Helpful Review

Review

1. The buying experience was no doubt great. 2. I do not drive, or have a driver. 3. The look is not what I like, although I do not care about it, and the performance is not what I experienced. I travel during sleep. 4. Servicing/Maintenance was indeed I wasn't expecting to be that much expensive.

This car is indirectly promoting Innova hycross

Not going to sell at this price point, very wrong approach to the Indian Market. Indeed this makes customers feel more value for money now. People would pay 25+L and upgrade to Velfire Or Merc Vclass This is going the Jimny way down
