Most Helpful Review

Excellence of german engineering

The SK-LK is definitely a fun car to drive. Its peppy engine is a real thrill to drive in close traffic as well on highways. Our family instantly liked it. We've driven a close to 2500 KMS over the past 2 months.

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
