      This car feels like a tank—powerful, luxurious, and extremely comfortable. What I love most is its power and smooth suspension. Even at 150 kmph, it feels like you’re driving at just 100 kmph. Along with its strong build quality, the mileage is truly impressive: 14–16 km/l in the city, 17–18 km/l on hills, and 20–21 km/l on the highway. A superb balance of power, comfort, and efficiency.

      An excellent car for long drives! I'm getting over 18 kmpl on highways and around 14 kmpl in the city. It's very comfortable with ample interior space and a massive boot. The build quality feels strong, and it has an impressive road presence.

I highly recommend this car to anyone considering a new vehicle. It’s a great choice, and I suggest you take a test drive to experience it for yourself. Thank you!
