Most Helpful Review

All good nice

the car feels royal, especially from the back and front. it is a luxury car with all the creature comfort you would expect at this price point and which is largely ignored by the German.

AMG Riding experience

I remember ,2weeks later I had experienced a short drive of AMG,I love its ride i.e;spellbound,and with an awesome interior. But if we take about its price its quiet high for an average indian people,and a major think that I had not like about is that it's fuel efficiency,I say it's engine is with a huge power,. But overall it is spellbound.

Volvo XC90 B6 Ultimate facelift — First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre22 Sep 2022

Volvo's flagship SUV in India is this XC90. In its latest iteration, it gets some new features, some new exterior shades, but the design and styling remains the same. And this is particularly good, for it retains its mature demeanor with sheer elegance. Peculiar highlights like the Thor-hammer shaped DRLs and tall tail lamps continue to shine on a big SUV with neat proportions.
