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.

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
