What owners and testers say

Independent evidence only. Never the maker’s own marketing.

+ Battery holding about 95 percent of its health past 70,000 km, on one owner's service report, with no sign of a cliff+ Servicing owners describe as very cheap, around Rs 3,000 at the 70,000 km visit, with original brake pads still fitted+ Six airbags and ESC standard on every trim, including the base car− No Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP result exists for the India-spec car. The famous five star rating is Euro NCAP's, awarded to the European car, which is sold with radar and autonomous emergency braking that the Indian car does not get− Real range of about 340 km against a 461 km claim, a bigger shortfall than most rivals− Used values falling hard: one 2023 car was asking about 40 percent below its on-road price after two years
4 more things owners and testers say
+ Owners rate it as unbothered by floods, heat and long highway runs with repeated fast charging− Steering rack play and noise, and a creaking sunroof, reported by an owner as unresolved after a year of complaints− Touchscreen described as laggy, with random reboots and phone connection drops− Free servicing ends at three years or 30,000 km, whichever comes first, which high-mileage owners reach early

Why there is no overall score

Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.
