      Overall, the car is very good in terms of comfort, safety, and convenience. It offers a smooth and enjoyable driving experience. However, there is a persistent issue while driving on CNG — the car occasionally breaks acceleration. This problem has been present since purchase, and despite multiple visits to the service center, the issue remains unresolved. While the car performs well otherwise, this technical concern needs attention for a truly worry-free experience.
