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.

Volvo V40 hatchback

By Ninad Mirajgaonkar07 Sep 2015

The entry-level model from Volvo India, the V40 hatchback. A premium, yet slightly unorthodox option for the likes of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, BMW 1 Series and the five-door Mini Cooper.
