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.

Volvo C40 Recharge E80

The driving experience was top-notch. This car is a paradise for driving lovers. Looks are stunning and can attract all other travelers on the road. Best class and comfort in this segment.
