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.

Clean lean thrilling Machine

The buying experience from Jeep was great and the car was great too. I have driven it for more than 5k kilometers the performance of the engine is good. The driving experience was great. The service is Lil bit of expensive

Mercedes-Benz B-Class facelift

By Ninad Mirajgaonkar08 May 2015

Every time I praise the entry-level MPVish hatchback from Mercedes around a few enthusiasts, I am greeted by looks that are partly gauging if I am drunk and partly trying to establish if I am even an auto journalist. So before we go down the same road, let us start by establishing certain facts – I live in a crowded city with traffic density equivalent or more than that in an anthill; the average speeds during daily commute are at times even lower than public transport, efficiency is important, comfort and convenience is a prerequisite and performance is a word that barely even crosses my mind.
