Base Model, more waiting time

I booked the Kushaq Base Model Classic Variant almost 2 months ago, still on September 1st, 2024, they said that the company is not producing the cars now, and production has not started yet. So long time waiting even after booked earlier at the Indore location.

Good

Looks good. Interior good with spacious and comfortable seats. Nice car for big family. Travelling long distance is very comfortable. Smooth handling and driving car in highway is very good.
