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.

Fabulously designed car

Good one, been driving Seltos for 8 months now, very good car, driving experience is amazing even though I have a base variant car it feels like the top end, that is how it’s designed

Grab the Thar

What a mind-blowing car, such an amazing feel when you drive it, comfort is not bad, road presence is good, and you will enjoy every bit of second while driving, but mileage is a bit issue.
