Pros	Base Engine Delivers Ample Performance Heated front and rear seats Turbocharged six-cylinder engine	Silent petrol engine with ample amount of grunt on offer Virtual cockpit inspired by elder siblings Equipped with a comprehensive list of features like the modern-age AUDIs. Decent in terms of ride quality with a deficient NVH level. The cabin’s practicality is well maintained. Continues to get Headlight washers.
Cons		No diesel engine on offer Features like ventilated seats, 360-degree camera, and ADAS could have been added. Rear seat comfort could have been improved. Styling is too simple as compared to rivals.
