Verdict / recommendation (based on the video content)
Recommended for buyers prioritizing comfort, build quality, safety (6 airbags), and especially boot practicality with CNG, along with smooth CNG driving.
However, buyers should be cautious about:
- the mentioned reverse engagement issue
- touchscreen/AC button safety (accidental presses)
- missing fog lights
- vibration/noise in certain conditions
A test drive is strongly advised, especially to verify reverse behavior and the touchscreen controls.
