Most Helpful Review

One of the best car

Great road presence. It has a good interior and is best for city driving, The engine is also good, love the car, good for the family, it looks innovative car from the future, the best innovative car from Mahindra to date.

Best car for city riding

I always used to ride it in narrow city rode with very less parking space. So it is very convenient to ride in city and ride quality also good in terms of comfort. The car has good suspension so it makes ride comfortable even in patchy rode. It is not the best for long rides because acceleration is not punchy and has little engine noice, tire noice at higher speed but occasionally you can manage.

Do not buy MG ZS EV

Company says leather seat in exclusive but it's low quality of seat, even audio quality is very bad , company claim with 98% charge 430 km but actually it not more than 250km, you feel like cheated after paying 25lac it's not worth even 15lac . I strongly say don't buy.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class facelift First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh20 Jan 2016

The new A-Class is a louder and cosmetically enhanced version of Mercedes’ entry-level car. But by louder, we don’t mean the exhaust or engine note. It’s that green colour. Our test car is powered by the Delhi-banned 2.1-litre, four cylinder diesel engine that makes 136bhp and 300Nm of torque.
