      A good car with excellent comfort, mileage, and road presence. The black color looks stylish, and the CNG gives great mileage in the city. The price of this car is also very good.

      Yes, I like the car. It is good and easy to drive. I would recommend my friends and family to buy this car. I’m also looking forward to buying a new car from Suzuki only. Right now, I have two cars from Suzuki.

      Ye mast gaadi hai, kaafi lambi hai aur sitting area bhi comfortable hai. Mileage 20 ka hai. Bajaj ki taraf se ek badiya option hai, uneven roads par bhi achha chalti hai.
