  Great car that comes with 6 airbags, providing excellent safety. I would give this car a 5-star rating. It delivers a proper mileage of around 24–25 km/l, making it very economical. Overall, it is an amazing car under budget.

  Safety rating is poor on long trips, and ground clearance is low. Mileage is very good for long trips, and maintenance cost is low. However, the journey is not very comfortable. Many updated features are not available in this car.
