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.

Classy and premium car

Best car with premium luxury features. This car is the best choice for every person. Mileage is not good but every feature gives satisfaction.
