      It's one of the best-looking cars in it's segment. On-road presence is astonishing. Features are pretty awesome. One of the coolest choices for the younger population for a daily drive. Reliability is an additional factor coming from the Duster family and highly driven kwid.

      I enjoyed the drive and beat other cars in this segment by a huge margin. Boot Space and the turbo engine are the best in the segment; they beat other rival cars by a great margin, and this is brilliant. Absolute VFM and will definitely recommend the same to potential buyers.

      The spacious interior, supportive seats, and smooth ride quality contribute to a comfortable driving experience. Additionally, the car?s suspension system helps absorb bumps and uneven road surfaces, enhancing overall comfort for both the driver and passengers.
