Car nerd

Merc stands on the top of customer service. Driving pleasure is too good makes u feel important and provides luxury. Performance is good, sunblinds could be electric for the rearview passenger. GLC is a low-maintenance car. But yes, the rear passenger may feel a little cramped on long routes.

Best car

Too comfortable and safe driving car it's breaking system is more better than another car it is my dream car it's build quality is too expensive and highly best material used in car body.

Volvo XC90 B6 Ultimate facelift — First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre22 Sep 2022

Volvo's flagship SUV in India is this XC90. In its latest iteration, it gets some new features, some new exterior shades, but the design and styling remains the same. And this is particularly good, for it retains its mature demeanor with sheer elegance. Peculiar highlights like the Thor-hammer shaped DRLs and tall tail lamps continue to shine on a big SUV with neat proportions.
