      The comfort level of this car is the best in its class. It has ample leg room and has good bootspace for luggage. I specially suggest this car for family as well as for office-going people, as it is good for long journeys and daily use.

      The interior of this car is quite futuristic. The heads up display projects all the critical information just at the right location were a drivers attention may fall quickly. It projects information like speed, turn indications and various alerts. Also the Infotainment system is easily accessible for the driver.
