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
