Point less Pricing

May be Error in Price kindly check and Relaunch @skodaindia. Much waited for it's come back but Car enthusiasm like me will go for luxury brands At this price range, 45L would be Fair Price, better reconsider your pricing and act accordingly For those seeking luxury within a certain budget, it's advisable to compare various models and brands to find the best fit for individual preferences and financial considerations.

Sportback after 7000 kms

It is a flashy car and you will get the best looks in this price range but mileage and features will be a tradeoff for the sporty looks. Not even a 360 camera at this price. City mileage sometimes drops to pathetic levels as low as 6.5 kmpl. The drive feel is good and acceleration and stability at high speeds are impressive.
