Most Helpful Review

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.

Overall good car

I got to use a used car from a car reseller in Delhi. It is a very fast and smooth to drive with no hiccups. Pick-up is fantastic and is quick even on comfort mode. The cockpit is unlike any car I have ever seen. The car has tons of options for customization, Rear seat has poor legroom and overall comfort, while the front seats are comfy. The only con I faced was that the car is hard on tires if you like to drive fast sometimes.
