Most Helpful Review

Overall excellent

The Interior of the car should be in black colour with chrome framing, and I request to Mahindra to provide finance facility at a low interest rate so that more and more people purchase this car.

Incredible comfort and value for money

The Sonata Embera is simply a fantastic luxury sedan. It has tasteful interiors without being 'jazzy' and the interior comfort and leg room is umbelievable. It has great performance both in terms of acceleration and high speed stability. I have driven it at 180 Kmph and its smooth as silk. The fuel consumption is obviously on the high side - but with a 2.4 litre engine that is to be expected. Great engineering and styling - that's the EmberaFantastic comfort and leg space; Excellent performance at high speeds. Have driven upto 180"functional" interiors - not jazzy or space age

Good featured car

All are good Pros: driving is very smooth, boot space, handling. Sprint variant is value for Money, getting all options which are needed. Cons: Mileage in the city, back seat thigh support
