      The car looks very good and is nice to drive. The car is very strong and very comfortable. There is a little body roll, but the driving experience is very good.

      I have owned a Thar Diesel Automatic 4x4 for the last two years. This car has a strong vibe—it makes you feel special and confident, both on the road and off-road. With its great suspension and massive torque, the driving experience is truly impressive.
