Our Recommendations:

For those who do not want to strech their budgets much, the base Classic+ variant is excellently equipped, considering its price and even an automatic option. But if you want the best vaue for money, the second to top, Signature trim is what hits that sweet spot of price to value. You get a lot of functional and feel-good features including cruise control, keyless entry, digital driver's display, bigger infotainment screen, and much more. But if you're only considering the 1.5L turbo mill, the Prestige and the Monte Carlo trims are your only option, which are pretty good choice, if youre in to spoil yourself with the best that there is to offer.
