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.

Never buy Range Rover Cars, they are non reliable and after sale no one will listen.

Don't buy any Range Rover cars, they are worthless and inferior in quality, I bought a new Velar in April 2024 and AC malfunctioned on the delivery bay and the car is still at the workshop without any solution. AMP Motors Gurugram and JLR is least bothered after selling the car. It's almost 3 months I am not able to use the new car and paying EMI, Interest, insurance, depreciation and it's affecting my mental health now.

Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4Matic First Drive

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray07 Jan 2024

The Mercedes-Benz GLS is a decadent set of wheels for the discerning elite, no less.

2017 Land Rover Discovery First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali29 Nov 2017

Although a brilliant family car, the previous-gen Land Rover Discovery (the LR4) was underwhelming to drive and felt utterly old-school. The fast-evolving competition didn’t do it any favours either and with the buying trends changing significantly all the time, Land Rover has had to add to the Disco’s arsenal, while retaining all its practical attributes and off-road ability.
