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.

Mercedes-Benz

A sleek and comforting ride with a multitude of features. The car itself is humongous and feels light to drive, and is highly recommended by me. this car is a must to try.
