• Pros & Cons

  Pros	It has an ultra-luxurious cabin with everything of soft-touch material. It comes equipped with next-level technology for safety, features. Both the engines on offer are very powerful in the segment. Gets gesture controls for operations of gates and another system. Has one of the largest touchscreen infotainment systems.	Extremely strong performance from the twin-turbo V8 (617 hp) Superb high-speed stability and grip with AWD system Luxurious, tech-loaded cabin with premium materials Sharp handling for its size, feels composed and precise Striking design and strong road presence
  Cons	Some switchgear quality could have been improved. The cabin might feel overdone with the play of colors.	Very expensive, even in its segment Rear seats are cramped, limiting practicality Heavy car, which slightly affects agility Low ground clearance, not ideal for bad roads Fuel efficiency is poor, as expected from a V8
