      It is very comfortable and spacious for a family. It has very smooth performance, low fuel costs, and great mileage. Very good vehicle at this price. The camera and sunroof have great features. especially, the look of the car is luxurious for a low budget. I don't find any cons in this car; it's really a very comfortable car. This car has scored 8 out of 10 in a crash test, so it's the best car to buy on a low budget.

      There is enough of space for the user and passengers in the car thanks to its supportive and comfortable seats. Long rides are made easier and less tiring by the front seats' lumbar support and headrest adjustment.

      The car's interior is roomy enough to fit both passengers and cargo, and during the design process, comfort and usefulness were given top priority. Enough headroom and legroom is provided for both front and rear passengers in the roomy automobile. When the back seats are folded down, a large amount of cargo space is also accessible.
