Good choice

It's a budget car. Speed performance is good no sound coming from engine a very low voice. Engine power is too good. Break system is good. Average is good. The seat is comfortable good.go for it.

Don't buy

Never buy any Jeep product that is not fit for Indian customers, lacks service, stud down dealers, is extremely high maintenance, and has the worst real value. I'm already an existing user. Good to drive is the only reason, go for XUV 700, mg, best will Toyota, Tata you regret and suffer after 2 years of this JEEP, thankyou

Monster

Great riding on ruff roads specially for a Traveller like me it will make you feel comfortable in every condition like on the way to Tamil Nadu from Punjab I used and trust me this will not disappoint you and ride a smooth journey Pros *Comfortable *Design *Price Cons *Not good for heavy traffic/city
