Cons
What to watch before you buy
The 580 km figure is the official India-market NEDC combined claim, so it should not be treated as a like-for-like WLTP or real-world highway result.
Its low-slung sedan format makes a stronger driver's-car case than an SUV comfort case, so buyers who want easier ingress or upright rear packaging may still prefer a crossover.
