Most Helpful Review

One of the best in segment !!!!

After purchasing the car, I took a family road trip from Raipur to Kolkata. We left at 4:30 a.m. and arrived at 7 p.m. I drove 850kms without full halting, which was a lot of fun; the only downside was that the trip was over. I’ve attached a screenshot of my travel information. This car is a beast, and it’s worth every penny.

Best car

Best car in this segment Best in class, comfort, power, best car in India. This car is better than other cars available in the market like Mercedes e class, Audi a4, jaguar etc
