Review Comments
Overall Ownership Experience
  • Perfect city car for many years – Enjoyable, low maintenance, easy to drive, and a compact head-turner.
  • Service quality declined over time – Initially manageable but got worse as the years passed.
  • Spare parts became difficult to acquire – Official service centers showed indifference towards the car.
  • Spare parts became difficult to acquire – Official service centers showed indifference towards the car.
Service & Maintenance Experience
  • Affordable in the early years – Initial costs were just a few thousand rupees.
  • Costs escalated later due to:
  • Frequent breakdowns (towing expenses added up).
  • Inefficient resolutions (had to revisit service centers multiple times for the same issue).
  • High spare part costs – Availability was a major challenge.
Things You Like & Dislike
Likes
  • First EV in India – Early market entry made it an innovative offering.
Dislikes

Mediocre body and interior quality – Creaks, noises, and durability issues. Multiple design defects – Many owners faced these persistent problems:

  • Door latch requiring frequent replacements.
  • Gear lever not lasting beyond 10-20K km.
  • Cracking outer roof.
  • Reverse camera black screen issue – Never received a permanent fix.
Final Thoughts

While the car was ahead of its time, its service, reliability, and part availability issues significantly impacted ownership satisfaction.
A pioneering EV, but long-term ownership had its struggles.
