Most Helpful Review

Its superb car

Nice compact SUV for city and long drives. For city driving 7-8 kmpl and highway driving it’s giving 12-14 kmpl. The overall drive experience is smooth. Ambient lighting during the night gives a luxurious feel.

Comfort at its best

Pros: Comfortable, well Engineered car with stunning looks. Easy to drive on city roads and performs well on highways. Cons: Lacks basic features like ventilated and all-powered seats.
