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.

Mind-blowing

Its absolutely insane. No words to describe it. Best experience and best performance. Never felt bad or regretted about it. I suggested everyone to buy this car and because of its fabulous looks.
