This car is indirectly promoting Innova hycross

Not going to sell at this price point, very wrong approach to the Indian Market. Indeed this makes customers feel more value for money now. People would pay 25+L and upgrade to Velfire Or Merc Vclass This is going the Jimny way down

Mercedes-Benz C-Class review

Good buying experience nice driving experience very sexy looks performance also good good service but costly maintenance nice for budget but from back doesn't looks like luxury car.
