  • Gac car that will appear like a Land Cruiser inspite of not being one

    On last week while I was on flight I was just exploring an automobile magazine and there I got to see this particular model from GAC. The mere looks of this model rendered an impression that finally Chinese cars have emerged a model that looks like any Land Cruiser though it isn’t in reality. They are exhibiting this model in their original designing statement and there lies the significance of this model. The curb appeal that is being portrayed by the front will automatically create a wow factor in the rider or buyer’s heart. There is a boxy feel to its front part that also is tough to overlook.

  • Engine performance and quality is poor

    Not recommended; my new X-Trail got an issue with the engine when driven 70k and fully serviced by the agent. It needs to replace the head gas kit. Service-wise also very bad.
