Mercedes review

The comfort this car provides is next level and of course, this is value for money in exchange if you planning to buy it or looking for the best one you should go for it. Hope you will like it.

This car is indirectly promoting Innova hycross

Not going to sell at this price point, very wrong approach to the Indian Market. Indeed this makes customers feel more value for money now. People would pay 25+L and upgrade to Velfire Or Merc Vclass This is going the Jimny way down
