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.

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 B-Class Edition 1

By Selvin Jose31 Dec 2014

After moving about elegantly in the B-Class for around a month Ninad offered me the car and I gleefully accepted. I was a little worried on how it will fare in my hands, will my first Mercedes-Benz long term car experience shine or wither away? While I did remember a brief drive during one of our photo shoot sessions that left me impressed with it, at the other end I honestly didn’t know how it would fare as an everyday commuter.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class Long Term Report 1

By Ninad Mirajgaonkar29 Nov 2014

The first time we reviewed the Mercedes-Benz B-Class with PowerDrift, we talked about it as luxury yet value-for-money proposition. Now after using the MPV for over a month and 3,000km, we have a lot more to add.
