      Suspension setup makes quite a comfortable SUV. Even on worse road conditions, it will give the confidence to drive and conquer the road ahead. Full of tech and impressive on quality both inside-out.

      Materials as well as fit and finish levels are good, making the cabin feel classy. Engine feels strong and powerful enough to propel the car in various driving scenarios but it?s the transmission that dulls the experience forcing one to be light with the throttle usage. Any attempt at aggressive throttle inputs and the rubber band effect becomes prominent.
