Value for money

Best car value for money looks so good best Intirear looks so good best seat is comfortable good performance best fog lamps best features in this price value for money best car in prices

Don't buy

Never buy any Jeep product that is not fit for Indian customers, lacks service, stud down dealers, is extremely high maintenance, and has the worst real value. I'm already an existing user. Good to drive is the only reason, go for XUV 700, mg, best will Toyota, Tata you regret and suffer after 2 years of this JEEP, thankyou
