      This car is feature packed suv which provides multiple powertrains, with AWD system in mild hybrid option which i personally own. The initial pickup feels very much punchy and power packed. The fuel efficiency is around 10-18 mixed highway and city. The suspension is well tuned to perform good on highways and in little bit off-road as well. Good handling on tilts and curves as well. The build quality and safety is of top notch quality. The engine is smooth and refined. The only downside is the plastic feel in the interior feels a little outdated compared to its rival in the segment but worth the price it is offered for. Overall it is the perfect all rounder suv once can get.
