Most Helpful Review

Just drive and you will know...

Outstanding... I'm speechless. This car offers you a great feel that you are in a smart off-roader with 5 doors, providing the best experience for both the driver and rear passengers. There's so many accessories for aftermarket modifications and it's a well-designed car that you can use for daily rides or short and long trips. I think this car is not overpriced, you have to know this car is 4×4.

A new ambassador

I have driven approx. 1 lakh 10 thousand km , including so many long drive like 450 km in a day, my mother have knee replacement but she recommend Ciaz for comfort and you should know in this price no one can beat ciaz in look , comfort, image in society.
