Pros & Cons
Pros
Interior is very classy.
Powerful Engine & Hybrid System
Ride is very comfortable
Very Spacious Cabin
The styling of the SUV exudes a macho and big car feel, exactly how it should be.
Massive battery pack delivers a good enough real-world range of over 500 kms.
Big on features with loadings like massage, heated, and ventilated second row, dual sunroof, three zone climate control and more.
Second row seating is very comfortable and is a breeze for long distances.
Third row space is pretty generous and can be used by adults as well.
Cons
Poor fuel Economy
Rear Vision is very limited
Very Less Cargo Space
Interiors could have been better for the kind of price it demands.
Very expensive, even by luxury flagship SUV standards.
Touch control panel for climate control is not the easiest to operate.
