      It’s a great car with good mileage and features under ₹11L. I get around 15–17 km/l in the city, and on highways it easily goes up to 20–22 km/l when cruising between 80–100 km/h.

      A feature-filled car with stylish looks and detailed design. It has good specifications and offers a comfortable ride, though fuel efficiency is low. Overall, it’s a good and affordable car. Absolutely recommended if you’re looking for a budget-friendly, stylish vehicle.

      Very powerful car and comfortable to drive. It's naturally aspirated 1.2 L petrol engine produces very nice power. Seating is also very comfortable. Car is also fully feature loaded so I don't have to go for aftermarket parts. Totally satisfied with this purchase.
