Performance

The car is a beast on the road. Although it seems like a normal SUV, it can do wonders if you can drive it properly. The steering wheel is specially made to communicate with the person who is driving the car, which is always a plus point. With a 1.6-liter four-cylinder, this can produce 3000 rpm, where the engine doesn’t make sound at all.
