Pros & Cons
Pros
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.
Comfortable ride quality with excellent refinement and insulation
Elegant design with strong road presence and premium appeal
Plush, tech-rich cabin with high-quality materials
Open-top features like AIRSCARF and wind deflectors enhance usability
Cons
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.
High price point compared to similarly engaging rivals
Engine performance lacks excitement in the lower variants
Not as sporty or driver-focused as competitors like the BMW 4 Series Convertible
