  • It misses on some features such as a 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, and some others
  • The diesel engine does not offer a proper manual gearbox, it comes with an iMT unit
  • Features like sunroof, push button start, cruise control, auto lamps etc missing
  • No automatic (or even AMT) with non-turbo petrol. No CNG or diesel either

      The car is in excellent condition—very comfortable and smooth to drive. The seats offer great comfort, and the mileage makes it a truly worthwhile purchase. It’s a good product at a reasonable price, especially for a 7-seater, making it a great value for money overall.
