Valuable and stylish car

Good looking stylish car with value for money best in this segment car Comfortable in driving Good mileage in the city Low maintenance Family purpose best car Easy drive in city and traffic area

Polo is a great car

The Polo is a great buy if you won’t be using the rear seats often, and need nothing but a well-built car to tackle the daily grind Loaded with features such as automatic AC, touchscreen infotainment, auto-dimming mirror etc. Available with a variety of engine-transmission options. Build quality inside out is best-in-class. Doors close with a thunk, no trace of scratchy plastics in the interior. Clean, no-frills design looks classy and understated.

2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh16 May 2024

This is the new generation Maruti Suzuki Swift. And, it mostly sticks to the same formula that has made the Swift nameplate such a legend. As a result, it is a standout design. It is also light, nimble, and crucially, fun to drive.
