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.

Buy only if you have ample money guys it's only for high class

Jeep Build quality is good, drive quality is smooth, safety strong. Road presence is great, mileage is good, cost to maintain is high compared to Mahindra and Toyota. But after all no value for money. Buying and maintaining is high cost. No resale value at all. Less service centre. Spare parts are not available aftermarket. Maintaining costs is worry worry-making thing, Jeep needs to reduce costs.
