      Mileage is excellent during long drives. Other features are good except the headlights. The headlights are not very powerful and should be improved. Otherwise, driving at night becomes difficult. The rear AC should also be made stronger.

      Easy to drive and very comfortable sedan. A safe car, ideal for new car owners. The automatic petrol variant is excellent. I tested it over a few potholes, and it handled smoothly and remained stable throughout.
