BMW x1 review

It's a very good car having both interior and exterior nice designs and very comfortable, smooth, good mileage. Just go for it without any doubt. I'm sure will be never disappointed by this car.

Excellence of german engineering

The SK-LK is definitely a fun car to drive. Its peppy engine is a real thrill to drive in close traffic as well on highways. Our family instantly liked it. We've driven a close to 2500 KMS over the past 2 months.

Clean lean thrilling Machine

The buying experience from Jeep was great and the car was great too. I have driven it for more than 5k kilometers the performance of the engine is good. The driving experience was great. The service is Lil bit of expensive
