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.

Heaven made By Passat

When I went On website To check Car price it was very less. i got that car very easily without any issue of money.It is better to purchase compare to other cars or SUV/MUV like innova . When I Drive it first time it was tooo smooth even it's suspension is too good . It's look is Mind blowing From exterior as well interior . Servicing and maintenance of car is not much High but it is in my budget My suggestion is that purchase this car don't waste your money by purchasing other cars of same price

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.

Volkswagen Passat Review: Pros and Cons

By Vikrant Singh01 Aug 2019

Yes, the Volkswagen Passat costs Rs 40 lakhs on the road. And no, it doesn’t command the same snob value as an Audi or a BMW or a Mercedes. Maybe not even as much as a Volvo or a Jaguar.

Living with the Volkswagen Passat

By Omkar Thakur10 Dec 2018

It would be justified to call it a limousine owing to its length and cabin space and we got to live with it for a brief period of time and we have to tell you how was it living with the Passat.
