      Excellent car and very exciting to drive. It's a beast on highways with amazing stability and a mileage of 15 km for the AX7 diesel MT. In the city too, its very comfortable to drive in zap mode. The back seats are comfortable, but the third row is best for kids or a short journey for adults.
