        Looks good, with excellent mileage and product quality. I don’t think it needs any further review or promotion. Just go for a test drive and see for yourself.

        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.
